Forsyth Memorial Hospital: "I had to wait for 7 hours in the waiting room before I was ever seen. There were only 2 people there ahead of me when I got there. When I was finally seen...it took the doctor 10 minutes to see me and then another hour to get my meds to me that were in my chart of what I was supposed to get for my MIGRAINE. Then I waited the 15 minutes and went home to eat and rest. I was fine afterwards.
