Licking Memorial Hospital: "Today on October 12th 2017 I came in for an important xray on my back, that was ordered from my primary doctor. When I wAs called I was handed a gown and told to go into the public bathroom to change.I asked "do you have any where move sanitary?" I was told "no". I told her I physically in able to do that without sitting. I also said I wasn't going to lay my clothing on the floor. I am actually sick. She told me " if I don't like it then go some where else". I asked her " why can't I use The empty room?" she Said " I going to put a patient in there" I said "I am a patient aren't I?" she said again " if you don't like it go some where else". I said " there is no way you can expect me to do that, there is no way you would "no way am I doing that. Sit on the public toilet to take my cloths off and leaving them on the floor. So yes I will go elsewhere for my xray. She also said " do you want a survey?" I said "yes" . so she sped up around me to the reception area and said " give her a survey!". The ladies at the reception area asked if I was ok. And kept apologizing. " - Deanna
