St Dominic-Jackson Memorial Hospital: "My husband had an appointment at St.Dominic Rane Center on today. We arrived at 2:00pm. They sent us down to the ER at 3:30pm because of his high bp and we are still sitting in the ER as if 7:58pm. We have not seen a doctor yet. I understand other things go on and emergencies happen but unless you are not being transported by ambulance for a gunshot or heart attack you can forget it. Bring your dinner instead and prepare to stay." - Lisa
