Livingston Regional Hospital: "The ICU and on the floor the nurses were good. However the nurses in the emergency room debbie especially was about as rude as they get. I usually go to cookeville but that day it was in the ambulance. I would not reccomend the ER but the rest of the hospital was great." - janet
