Higgins General Hospital: "So my husband went to Bremen Higgins today. Waited 4 hours just to not be seen. They said it wasnt medical necessity that he see a dr. His hand is extremely swelled and he cant use it. We had to go 30 miles to a floyd urgent care to be seen. He has staff that was running to his arm to his heart and has a bunch of meds now. He was there 4 hours and they kept taking people after he came in said he wasnt sick and didnt need to see the doctors. He has no spleen and cant fight infection well. So now I might lose him due to the negligence of this er. I will be filing a form complaint with the state and anybody else that will listen. My husband's life wasnt as good as everybody else's today. He wasnt important to them. We will never use this hospital, you'd have better luck at a veterinary clinic.... " - Heather
