Reply to comment by Ok_Journalist3388 in what's your preferred hospital to go to? by MsDemiBurch

I'd love to go to a hospital in NY but my insurance would not allow that sadly and I've never been to JCMC but sounds like maybe the doctors aren't great there as far as what I heard. I been to christ the most here and the experience is similar but the doctors & nurses are very nice there, which I'd just keep going there but it's way too overcrowded which makes me very nervous while being immune compromised.

Maybe things have changed in the past few years, but Christ was always chronically understaffed. I had to take my kid there for a severe flu, and while the nurses gave him an IV to hydrate him, he was there for two days and nights and we saw a doctor for maybe a grand total of fifteen minutes. They had one pediatrician who was stretched between pediatrics, maternity, and the ER. Which meant if he was delivering a baby, the emergency room would have to wait and vice versa.

Makes sense. It sucks cause if they had maybe bigger hospital and more staff they would be amazing
