Sentara Leigh Hospital: "Came in by ambulance will serve pain in chest. Had surgery on Thursday to remove my gallbladder and the pain was so bad I was shaking and sweating. The pain meds that the medic gave me wore off and the staff was still not helpful and would rather see a patient in pain and not even care if something bad happens. I will never come back to this hospital. I have been in the waiting room since 1130 once the medics dropped me off and it is now 250am " - Kaitlin
