South Sunflower County Hospital: "I brought my daughter to this hospital at 1 am in the morning for severe pains in her head, ear and face. I have been here 4 hours and still haven't been called to the back to see a doctor. This is so sad because this is a place where you should be able to come to for help when you're sick but instead you will probably die from the wait.....Sad" - Jennifer
