This hospital is horrid. My daughter tried to commit suicide. The Dr told me she wasn't going to watch her all night I was going to. She and the nurses stood at the desk and gossiped and cut up all night. Each time I went in fog ER reason I was treated rudely and abused verbally. Only hospital for miles so they get away with murder.
