When I was there in 2013 for a severe medical emergency, I had excellent emergency care. I am only alive today because of the doctors and nurses who were on duty that day. Thank you.

One thing I've found in life is that ratings are mostly bull. I've found this on cruise ratings (raters said the ship was "old and tired" which I found to be the opposite), hotel ratings (wildly different than my experience) and places like Yelp, which I've found to be totally unreliable on several occasions. Haven't we all at one time or another been pressured by a salesman or manager to give the business the full five stars in our ratings? It's no different for hospitals. Rely on your own experience or from trusted friends, and even then, your experience may be quite different. I had my gall bladder removed from the local hospital in mid-2023, and it was a very complicated problem with severe blockages, and my experience was great. Nurse care was outstanding, my surgeon was competent and had a good bedside manner, and the hospital itself was clean and neat. Your experience may be different.

Hospital ratings are based on comparisons. If a five star hospital has a 1% complication rate, a three star has 5%, and your hospital has a 10% complication rate it is doing poorly. But keep in mind that still means 90% of people did not have a complication and will be here talking about their excellent experience.
It is those kinds of differences across many criteria that got the local hospital its 1 one star rating. Most patients do well but too many, compared to other hospitals do not get quality care.

I am a very reasonable person and didn’t expect them to know what was making me gravely ill, but the incompetent idiots have no excuse for not recognizing my red blood cell count was critically low, my blood oxygen was practically nonexistent, and I was on my death bed. There is no excuse for anyplace calling themselves a hospital to be so grossly negligent. There isn’t a low enough rating I could give that place. If I didn’t get to a real hospital in Gainesville in short order I was a dead man. |
