Hardin Medical Center Stories

Hardin Medical Center: "My Uncle came in by ambulance for weakness and nausea. He told me on phone he thought he was dieing. I never saw doctor Wayne come in room. My uncle said he came in and ask him if knew where he was. I do not understand this blatant non-care for my 86yr old uncle. I shall call customer service Monday because of this neglect and disrespect for the sick." - Janet
