Hospitals

I have direct working experience in fourteen hospitals. Seven in Indiana: Bloomington Hospital, and six hospitals in Indianapolis, Indiana--Wishard Memorial Hospital, University Hospital, Riley Children's Hospital, Methodist Hospital, Community Hospital East, and St. Vincent Hospital. Five Texas hospitals: three in Dallas--Parkland Memorial Hospital, Dallas VA Hospital and Mesquite Community Hospital, one in Athens and another in Palestine. Two in Washington State: Bellingham's St. Luke's Community Hospital and St. Joseph Hospital.

I am not a fan of US Hospitals. They deliver an inconsistent product at exorbitant costs. They are operated to maximize profit not patient experience or patient health, even when classified non-profit for tax purposes.

I could tell horror stories about some of these fourteen, especially small hospitals in Texas.
