When it comes to posting comments on Facebook I usually do very little of negative interaction because I do not accept anything that is negative.

My mother was programmed to have surgery done. We have never been to the facility before. It was a hassle to know exactly where to go so we stop by the receptionist for information around the hospital. Just by looking at the receptionist, she looked rude.

    I've been asked by upper management to discuss this issue with you further. This oversight to Kevin's attention has caused a real problem with Invista and they have a negative view of SMC's performance.
