Bailey who answered the phone on 11/12/2020 1pm EST is unprofessional and extremely rude. Hung up on twice during a business call to the hospital

Today was Saturday, holiday weekend n my rugrat got a pretty decent slice on her knee as she doesn't understand "slow down" yet- 3 year old. This E.R. Was closest, and they went above and beyond the call of duty to care for her. Thank you everyone who was there, it wasn't a bad cut, but she's only 3 and shoulda been scared, but you all made that a breeze with your patience and professionalism.! Thanks!
