Never had such unprofessional so called service!
My brother had visited the Lucas county ER multiple times. Once almost lead to kidney failure because they wouldn't preform a CT scan and he had a kidney stone stuck and the kidney was not able to drain. Horrible service! The night shift staff don't want do there job at all. Was forced to call the law enforcement on duty in order for the night shift so called doctor and nurses to begin examining my brother.
