Union General Hospital: "After a terrible experience at Memorial Hospital in Chattanooga Tennessee(a10 hour wait in the ER) my wife’s (Diane Marshall) condition with Covid continued to deteriorate. We decided to take her to Union General and feel that decision along with much prayer saved her life. Within 5-10 minutes of arrival in the ER she was taken to a room and given the expert care she needed. When the staff asked if we minded if they treated her with Ivermectin we were surprised yet delighted. Throughout her stay we had no doubt she was receiving the very best care from the very best staff this crazy world has to offer. From ER to discharge she was treated by professionals who genuinely care; People who are willing to give the best care regardless of the bogus advice on Covid care that is being given by the Covid “experts” in Washington.

Union General Hospital: "Union General Hospital is the worst ER experience I have ever had. I was admitted with severe abdominal pain. At no time did they help me with pain management. They performed 2 tests, told me the results came back normal with no further information, and discharged me. The doctor who saw me was hostile and completely uncommunicative and dismissive. I am still in pain with no idea what is going on. Save your money and go to Shreveport or Monroe if you ever have an emergency in Farmerville." - Kristy
