Wilson Medical Center: "My daughter brought my husband with chest and back pain to ER around 4:00 pm on Monday ;she had to leave to around 10:00 pm. I came and we are still sitting here in ER on Tuesday at 6:30am. (Not seen physician yet) After speaking with triage nurse several times, she says she makes the decisions who goes next. Several people comes in this morning (no major issues) and immediately goes right in to ER side not the Fast Track side. Staff is changing over now." - Susette

Wilson Medical Center: "This the worst experience i ever had from a medical center. At 2pm I seen a a. Went back to the waiting room sat there for another hour before getting into a room, seen a doctor and he was rude to me. He said he was doing labs and I’m still in a room and not one nurse I seen! I’m very disappointed with this place! If Duke has anything to do with this they should be ashame of how patients are being treated here. I hope in Jesus name I never have to come here again! I should call the news media and let them investigate how this hospital is being run and managed! " - Frances
