[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 550350, member: 6705"] I mentioned that my personal doctor was awesome. Now, he didn't take medicaid when the kids were on it, or they'd be going to him, too. It's a 35-minute drive in light traffic from home. Normally, though, it's more like an hour. We lucked out with the kids, though - they have a practice with NPs and GPs. The VA hospital where my 92-y/o grandpa goes, in CO, is AWESOME. The one here? Not. They were recently investigated for a dentist who did not wash hands between patients. Seriously. He was allowed to retire, full pension, [I]before[/I] the investigation was complete. I waited for husband in a waiting room 16 months ago, for 4 hours because they didn't know I was there - and another hour after I finally just walked BACK INTO THE ER, UNCHALLENGED, they were shocked that husband was still there. NO ONE KNEW. The man was having problems BREATHING the day after [I]rotator cuff surgery[/I]. FWIW, the nurse who figured it out went OFF. We got out of there pretty quick after that. But still.
