T J Samson Community Hospital: "Does not advocate for patients, does not listen to patients request and or health care needs. Does not have any bed side manner nor professionalism. Lacks human decency and compassion. Would be better suited for retirement. Tj samson needs to bring this rural community health care for the 21st century and provide continuing education rather than mortality rate increases." - Tracy
