Iberia General Hospital And Medical Center: "Worse hospital I been in. Took my sister there having a heart attack. They wasted a lot of time doing nothing for her. Her heart doctor who works there showed up hours later. Maybe if they knew it was that bad faster she would still be alive. No she stayed there all night next day sent her to a different hospital. Very upset you did not handle her attack heart as life or death. Well it was death no reason for it. Hospital is useless. They have no clue about what to do for a heart attack. She was too young to die. Iberia General fail her. " - Pissed
