Report
Well we spent Christmas eve in the er. Sister needed echo. They told her it was a holiday and there was no one in call and that it would be Sunday/Monday before she could get echo. I work in Healthcare and we don't have holidays. I didn't know sickness could be scheduled. It has to be scheduled at CRHS

The unprofessionalism of this place is ridiculous, went to the ER with nausea, no appetite, and pain in my appendix, sat in there for 3 hours to be sent home due an "upset stomach". Went home a suffered for 3 more days before i had a terrible attack of pure sweat, and lightheadedness, so came to Loris hospital and within 1 hour and 30 minutes they had me in the back prepping for surgery. Staff was much more friendly as well. Not the first bad experience weve had before. Worst hospital to go to.

I had to take my Father who was very ill to this Hospital and they have been the best caring for him. Everyone was so sweet and caring and so professional. Thank you to the ER staff, thank you to the 6th. floor CCU staff.

DO NOT GO TO THIS HOSPITAL FOR ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. GO TO NOVANT OR NEW HANOVER!! My mom went into the hospital unresponsive. They had 3 different people jabbing her at the same time ti get an IV in. Literally the needle was down to the kilt and they were spinning it in circles. Everyone was rude and snappy, wouldn't answer her questions at all. Didn't allow her to eat for 4 days even after the surgeon said she could. Her first meal was a greasy cheeseburger and fries for a gallbladder problem. I could keep Nami g horrible mistakes the staff made but I would be here all day. Save yourself and go somewhere
