Fort Loudoun Medical Center Stories

Fort Loudoun Medical Center: "This place is the single worst hospital/emergency room I have ever been to. My elderly father was forced to wait for over 4 hours, after being specifically instructed to go to the ER by his doctor. The staff is desk staff are absolutely despicable, their lack of empathy, and “not my fault attitude” is disgusting. If you can take your loved ones anywhere but here, because it has been proven time and again that this place does not care" - Andrew
