Parking is atrocious to put it mildly. I have actually had someone complete their doctor appointment before I could find a place to park. As in any other hospital, there are good doctors and one's you wonder about whether they really have a degree to back up the MD on their hospital ID. For example, a good doctor would actually move their stethoscope to various locations when checking breathing and lung function; a questionable one holds it in one spot, has the patient take a single breath and then claims that the lungs (notice the plural) are fine. I witnessed this behavior from a Family Practice doctor on 12/31/19. He claimed the patients lungs were clear and sent her home. Today, that same patient was admitted to Tripler for a lung infection which could and should have been discovered on the clinic visit and not required rushing to the ER at 4 AM this morning to wait for 6 hours. The ER did what the Family Practice doctor should have done. It's for things like this that Tripler has earned the nickname 'Crippler'.
