Santiam Hospital Stories

Santiam Memorial Hospital: "They are ill equipped in handling complex situations. The staff was adequate except for a heavyset woman who appears to have some mental health issues. She was not only unprofessional but she also failed to listen and she took her obvious anger out on the patient for no reason as she was trying to pick an argument. We are observing more and more mental health problems among hospital staffing. Miserable people such as this should be screened as their abnormal behavior is detrimental to the patient. She is only a nurse, and we suppose they probably cannot do much better at procuring ethical and professional people in this tiny backwoods facility but this person is clearly not thinking logically. Her name is Georgina Zinn. Her back problems, as well as her personal life must be a wreck." - SKL
