Morristown Hamblen Hospital Association: "My father died there Wednesday April 18 2018 he came in with problems breathing one week prior and he was in ICU afterwards given morphine and Xanax everyone knows that’s a great combo for breathing difficulties healthy young people die from that but that’s not it as a only son next of kin they would let my cousins and anyone just come hang out for hours without a time restrictions and I felt awkward watching them laughing and joking while my father was dying so I left for a break hoping they would finally leave and only person left was my father he died without me getting to be there and to be honest the doctors never even told me how bad he was I honestly thought he would get to come home some point. I just thought since by law I’m next of kin I would be told to say my good byes or something maybe he stick around much as you can something but nope. Worse place ever people now drive by to Jefferson memorial and I see why just go somewhere else unless your bleeding to death and can’t wait. Sorry Hosptial admin but this is true his name is Roger Dale Cope 11/16/1958 look it up if don’t believe me" - Roger
