Most of the people who work here are smart, compassionate and super nice BUT there are not enough of them. It is impossible to get proper care when one nurse has between four and six patients. The call button is a joke. Maybe after 20 minutes someone will see you. By that time you could be dead. Imagine 4,5,or 6 patients calling for help at the same time and only one patient can be taken care of. The rest are screwed (or maybe lying in feces, or have fallen on the floor and can't get up.) Some of the machinery the techs use (blood pressure, pulse ox) are so old they don't even work. The fix, to me appears simple, ask a nurse how many patients she/he should have in order to do their job efficiently and then do so. Ask a tech the same question, listen and do what they ask. All the answers will be for the betterment of the patient.
It appears that hospital administration doesn't listen, and is overpaid and arrogant since a lack of good care is apparent. The fault certainly does not lie with the nurses, doctors or techs. It lies with Hospital Administrative Policy.

Oh, the food was EXCELLENT. The Italian Wedding soup was out of this world. Maybe the Chefs in the Kitchen should run the hospital.
