Baptist Health Medical Center-Little Rock: "Wait time is extremely too long.. I’ve been called back at least 3 times all to still not check in a room or see a doctor.. mind you I already didn’t feel good and had passed out earlier at work so me walking around wasn’t the best idea.. ended up leaving because I just couldn’t stand all the people around me sick and me waiting it had already been 3 hours by then " - Darneshia

White County Medical Center: "I went for an ER visit this past weekend. I was having signs of a stroke and with me being a medical professional, I had waited long enough before going to the ER. I told the receptionist Felicia that I needed emergent help right away and she said to her buddy/ coworker, “EVERYBODY IN HERE IS EMERGENT.” And they both did this gut busting laugh that made me feel so low for seeking help. I witnessed them make fun of pretty much everybody that checked in, very disheartening because not only am I a practitioner but I’m also a medical business owner. Situations like this makes people ashamed to seek help or make them feel small or down. My feelings were very hurt by this matter. I went to work and was telling a coworker about it and she pushed me to report it but I have not yet. This is a very hard and challenging reality that innocent patients seeking help has to deal with. I know we are short staffed everywhere but know who your front line staff is. A lot of patients just walked out." - Anonymous
