Franklin Woods Community Hospital: "I took my wife to Franklin woods on 20 Aug at 12.00 hours for extremely high blood pressure . After waiting for 6 hours she was finally admitted. Then my wife called me and said To pick up up that she was discharged . After driving back to Johnson city to pick her up! They did another blood pressure check! Her blood pressure was still extremely high so they re admitted her she lay in er on those I call morgue beds until 1300 hours on 21 Aug 2021. I called and they said she was next in line for a bed after waiting so long. There website says it's around a 2 hour wait to be seen and another appropriate 2 hours to be taking to room. Completely untrue she was on that bed almost 24 hours until discharged. I call and ask was my insurance being charged for a room and they said yes even though she never was assigned a room. I have never seen so many rude people in one spot. Franklin woods is the worst hospital I have ever seen . If they do not have rooms they should do a hospital to hospital transfer to another ballad health facility not make people wait long periods of time on those very uncomfortable beds. And when being questioned about the time being so rude . I rate this hospital as the worst in the tricity." - Randy
