Wing Memorial Hospital And Medical Center: "As I still sit at this hospital in my bed still not seen by a dr. Now it’s been a total of 2 hours I’ve asked 3 times already only to get no answer to when the dr will be in. I’ve gotten my blood pressure checked and that’s about it. No blood drawn or urine collected. I would say that is pretty disturbing. My pain is at a 10 and I’ve been crying. My blood pressure is 160/99 and it is NOT busy in here. I press my nurse button and they look at my while they gossip and drink their coffee. This will definitely be my last time coming to this facility. And I highly do not recommend this hospital to anyone especially if you are in dyer need of medial attention ." - Jennifer
