Ssm St Joseph Hospital West: "I waited at SSM late St Louis in the emergency room for about 6 hours and I had a hemorrhaging stomach And finally got into a room and got admitted. And I had just had hamstring reattachment surgery a week and a half previous so it was like torture. The triage system did not seem very effective in people with a lot lesser things that got there after me were in a room in the back and gone before I got back there.
