Scott & White Memorial Hospital: ""Baylor" Scott and White isn't what it use to be. Before "Baylor" was adopted into the name, I felt like an actual patient. Now, they make me feel more like a criminal. I once witnessed a doctor named Dr. Tyler McFadden in the ER call my husband a "junkie" simply bc...idk...he didn't understand what was wrong with my husband? Idk but NO professional should EVER call a patient a name like that. It was hurtful to him and I felt offended myself. Calls to HR weren't taken seriously. And don't get my started on wait times!!! This place took on more than it could handle, and it shows. Nurses are mostly Angels. But the doctors know EVERYTHING! And, it's incredible how so many smart professionals take so long to act in a timely manner. Guess they use WedMD as much as I do! Go to Seaton if possible! This place is a huge disappointment.

Scott & White Memorial Hospital: "The facility is dirtty. Gave my husband mrsa on a routine surgery he had three times previously. He never had mrsa before. But the surgery ran five hours late and they took less than half the time the surgery was supposed to take. They mix up blood tests and x-rays. The emergency room takes a minimum of five hours. They had heart attack patients coming in on the ambulance and placed them in the waiting room and gave them aspirin. Scott and white used to be stellar, but they have gotten to big for their britches the last four years. I\m desparate to see a doctor right now as I am bleeding so heavily, I am going through three adult diapers, not even pads, an hour. I can\t hardly move, don\t have the energy or strength to leave my bed or get to the bathroom by myself, bleeding wakes me up, the cramps are worse than labor, and this has been going on for eight straight days. However, I will have to be unconscious before I go back to a doctor at Scott and white. They don\t listen, they don\t care, you are just another number. And if you don\t fall into one of their common known issues, then you must be a liar and there really is nothing wrong with you." - Kelly
