Eastern Oklahoma Medical Center: "Took my aon in because he had a piece of metal in his eye. Wait time was reasonable but it was so hot in there I had to go outside! Dr was kind of nonchalant about the eye also told him that he scratched his eye with the utensil that he was using. We had to follow up with an eye doctor appointment to make sure his eye wasn't seriously damaged. Do not go to this hospital if you have anything serious going on go to Washington regional in Arkansas. Eomc mortality rate for anything is absolutely unacceptable!!!! Doctors and nurses seem to think that we should feel privileged to walk in there which anybody should feel privileged to be able to go to a hospital but to go there and expect help and care and get rudeness curtiness and uncaring attitudes total BS. No wonder my mom and my dad refused to go here." - Dana
