Northwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center: "On Wednesday February 9th my 94 year mother had appointment with Dr Mohammad Hadidi. When I arrived there and got my mom out the car when, I put her in the wheelchair she fainted. I got in panic because people were passing me by even my own color(black),without asking me did I need any help.There were also nurses outside at the building across the parking lot they didn't asked was everything ok. After I couldn't get her to respond I asked a black lady that was going into the building to get me some helped. She did two white nurses came to the door and stood in the door just looking at us. They sent the lady back out to tell me that they couldn't come out where we were that I had to take my mother to the hospital.That was easy to say because, if I could lifted my mom lifeless body I would have done just that.I would have had my two year grand son to help me lifted her. MY MOTHER COULD HAVE DIED RIGHT THERE ON THE PARKING LOT. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR MY FATHER GOD I WASN'T ALONE. I thought nurses supposed to save lives.I am so hurt on how we were treated I would of never believed that I would be experiencing stuff that I see on TV everyday. I am so HURT BY WHAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH ON THAT DAY!! I HOPE NO ONE ELSE HAVE TO EXSPERINCE WHAT WE DID....." - Georgia
