Oconee Medical Center: "Waited 5 hours to never be seen. When I told them I was leaving the front desk asked my to sign a waiver of denial for treatment. She said if you fall out in the parking lot we don't want to be liable for you. I didn't sign it since I did try to get treatment. I can not walk at all and fell twice today. My hip and right leg do not work. And my local er could care less. Drive the extra time to get better care elsewhere." - Albert
