Broward Health Medical Center: "By far the longest wait of any emergency room you will go to in Broward county. The help is very matter-of-fact and nonchalant. You will not be seen at all timely. Your pain is not their concern. It is very impersonal. They will not go through any lengths to make your state any better.. This is probably my third time coming here. Any other hospital will see you and release you at least. At the very least twice as fast. As this hospital will even take you into the back. " - Alain
