Wythe County Community Hospital Stories

Wythe County Community Hospital: "I overheard staff members discussing how a security guard had been caught twice masturbating in the MRI room, and how he still had not been fired. This was very disturbing to hear, as I had a MRI scheduled for that day. Needless to say, I did not get that MRI, and instead pursued a different location. I am shocked and horrified by the irresponsibility of both the hospital administration and the security company for keeping such a person on staff. Since you didn't fire the individual or even inform the public, it seems only right to leave this review until action is taken and a public statement is made. I will be telling everyone I know in Wytheville about this incident, and my church is already aware of it. It is extremely disgusting that this can take place within the hospital, and that the punishment for it is to keep the person on the payroll and cover it up instead. If what I overheard is true, you should all be extremely ashamed of yourselves as medical providers. I cannot believe I almost got a MRI here.
