Salem Community Hospital: "i was at the hospital today visiting my sister who had just had a baby yesterday. When I first got there found out that she had no eaten all day because no one gave her a menu Nor did anyone show her how to use the phone or order food. Next I tired to feed the baby a bottle nd he was not taking it well so I did the heat test and it was freezing. i walked out to the nurses station to tell them it was not room temperature.. And to ask the nurse if she would eat she said no but thats what we do here...she then got a huge attitude because I asked her to come help my sister a first time Mom. She came in the ro ripped the baby outta my husband's arms. Took of all the babies clothes sat down in a chair and squeezed the babies cheeks pushed the bottle in his mouth got him to eat a couple cc's aand handed the baby to my sister and said idk what your problem is he's eating... Walked out her cellphone." - Tasha
