Griffin Hospital: "The best hospital ever.They made me feel right at home. Everyone was pleasant and so helpful. The attended to my every need and everyone seemed happy even though they were working. I was just in another hospital last month not by choice and it was absolutely a nightmare. I wish all hospitals were as good as Griffin. And the food was great you can't say that about any other hospital." - Eugene
