Johnson City Medical Center: "I understand you might have an under staffing issue. Maybe start promoting people and maybe recruit more might help with wait time get more physicians involved. This wait time is ridiculous and the health of your community isn't getting better while yall chat and talk about how your date went the night before bc you woke up in bed with a coworker. Nobody cares. Care more for your patients. They might die. Oh wait you get paid to let them die too. If you want less hospital visit make sure you do your job the first time instead of remembering a one night stand that will be forgotten the next day." - Geneva

Johnson City Medical Center: "Nightmare is as clear as I can describe. I've sat in the ER for 7 hours with severe chest pain and being sent by my doctor because my blood pressure and heart rate are so high I am at risk of a stroke or heart attack.. People have been here sitting for 10 hours with no help. The nurses that were here when i came left at 7 and they called ultrasound to come find a vein but when I've checked they say ultrasound was never called when I sat there and heard the nurse call and heard the man respond. This is absolutely pathetic. I know this hospital is busy and the nurses are over worked and under paid but that should not mean neglect of patients." - Melissa
