Baptist Medical Center: "I waited over 12 hours before being taken back to see doctor. I have infected and swollen skin above my eye. They never touched it or my glands which are also swollen. Antibiotic and discharge. I already had been on antibiotics from urgent care for 4 days they weren’t helping. Nurse said I should have IV antibiotics and a steroid which requires admitting. Doctor said nope go home. I was back there maybe 90 minutes. I waited all that time for nothing. " - Shannon
