Atlanta Medical Center-South Campus Stories

Atlanta Medical Center-South Campus: "Went in for blood pressure and dizziness, wasn't checked for vitals til around 20 minutes later. Meanwhile the staff who were supposed to take my temperature and blood pressure, had me outside waiting, talking and cursing so loud that me, my children and everyone in the waiting room could hear. Very in-appropriate and totally unprofessional workers working at the ER check in station! I have video and will be reporting them." - Carlisle
