Context, I am very new to the area, and have only lived here 10 months. I do understand with Covid-19 hospitals and clinics are at max capacity. I also understand the shortage of nurses due to the vaccine.

I had an emergency medical illness, after speaking with my regular physician he told me to go immediately to the emergency room. Being new to the area, I went to Rutherford Regional Health System, because it was the closest. When I arrived there was an ER waiting room completely fill the maximum capacity. There triage system was poor if not a complete failure all together. The nurses in the back knew I was there, and in fact brought out lab items to prepare for the doctor. After 6 hours, no doctor, no nurse, not even a ER technician. So of course, I just walked out and went home, hoping my illness would get better on its own. Boy, did my doctor give me a piece of his mind, for not getting emergency treatment.

Needless to say, Rutherford Regional Health System ER was a 100% failure, luckily I didn't actually need immediate help at that second. The scary part, ambulances were bringing patients in, and they were dropped off in the waiting room, not the ER. It's probably safe to say if you were coming in on your own for arm and chest paint, and on the edge of a heart attack. you would most likely die in the ER waiting for service. Two weeks later and I would probably still be sitting there, yes that's dramatic, ignore the dim witted attempt at humor for a very dangerous situation.

Seeing a 2.2 review out of a 105 reviews, is terrible for just a business. Here you have the only regional medical center in a small town, and the hospital, the most important place in the town with a 2.2. Anyone see the problem with that?
