Where I live the hospitals do not have good reputations, in fact the 2nd biggest had a rep amongst locals that if you go in you may never come out. The lack of education & even modernday illiteracy (yes we're in N America) of the locals means that in many ways there is leeway for less adept care than if we were in an area with better educated individuals.

Personally I find generally the care is medicore to subpar (I'm well educated even at my age, come from a medical family too) as I've found a few times that standards of practice anywhere else in the world - or even in hospitals in the same region - aren't done properly.

My father is in the hospital so I am on top of staff making sure of his care. I am not interfering but at same time I'm not sitting on my ass doing nothing & hoping for the best.

Soo makes me wonder in today's day & age when even a high school failure can use google to research medical care - say for example IV lines, when should they be changed - what people would do.
