Mcleod Regional Medical Center-Pee Dee: "was turned away 2 times at this stupid hospital having a heart attack, this almost cost me my life. it was a few years ago, you would think they would get better. today i had an appointment at there spine center, unless you like to wait all day and still not see the doctor it would be by far better to go somewhere else and save your self a lot of time just sitting in a stupid waiting room " - Fred

Lexington Medical Center: "This hospital is a fucking joke . It claims to be one of the best but it's standards are as average as a hospital from the damn 80s. To be sitting in the emergency room for 6 hours to never be seen with chest pains possible heart attack is ridiculous. This sorry ass facility could care less if you died. I wouldn't recommend this garbage ass hospital to anyone sad that Richland's little ol hospital is way quicker they need to level Lexington hospital and put a damn McDonald's there bc you'll get better service fuck you Lexington county hospital y'all trash of the state..." - Phillip
