The few times i had to be in NY hospitals, they were not good experiences at all- a simple operation turned out to be a nightmare- nurses were not very nice on whole- and it was like a manufacturer plant- where it just seemed you were more a paycheck to them than a person
Having said that though- Boston wasn’t much better- even though the surgeon was better- Maine was pretty good but not as experienced as Boston surgeons - but the care afterwards was better in Maine- NY just plain sucked in my cases- One was so bad I had to be readmitted because the surgery was done wrong- antoehr time I also had to be readmitted because of issues related to the procedure where stitches failed- And this was before all this obamacare crap came into being- I imagine it’s even worse now-
And the nurses? Wow- talk about bad bedside manners=- Of course not all of them- some were nice, but many were really pretty horrible-
My mother, who was 92, fell and injured her eye and needed an emergency repair. It was done outpatient, and she was blind in the injured eye, and clearly too weak to go home, and in need of hospital care, she was not kept even overnight.
