I’ve lived in this city my whole life so have a fairly large circle. I believe I could accurately reflect the majority of hospital users’ experiences. It is hell and war to get admitted. Once you are admitted, the care is pretty darn good.
Piker, I am sorry anyone has to go through what your friend did.
