Baptist Health Medical Center-Little Rock: "Wait time is extremely too long.. I’ve been called back at least 3 times all to still not check in a room or see a doctor.. mind you I already didn’t feel good and had passed out earlier at work so me walking around wasn’t the best idea.. ended up leaving because I just couldn’t stand all the people around me sick and me waiting it had already been 3 hours by then " - Darneshia

Baptist Health Medical Center-Little Rock: "My husband,Mark Morell, had TURP surgery at Baptist Health Center on January 13,2016. This was at the big hospital off
630. The surgeon came out after a few minutes and said the scope broke and the backup scope was already broken. There were no other sterilized scopes to use. Mark had to wear a catheter until January 18, 2016 when the surgery
could be done again. He was in constant pain because of Baptist Health's negligence.
The risk management team was concerned at first but then decided the hospital held no
responsibility for this incident. They did
send us a gift certificate for a restaurant.
What a joke!
I also can't get them to send us a patient
satisfaction form. Wonder why?
