UTMB is so large, it can't get out of its own way. Their doctors don't know each other, don't communicate, patient has to do it all. Won't help with anything. It's so expensive you can only afford it if you have top-of-the-line health insurance.

Had emergency triple bypass surgery there last November, which went fine but the evening cardiac recovery nurses were a couple of amateurs, running around like headless chickens. One fell on my chest and laughed about it. They stretched a hose in my neck to the point of breaking. Told my wife to get me out there. Complained but ignored.

Went in for more heart problems this past week. Only saw a beginning intern and only after I said I was going home. Did three echocardiograms, which were inconclusive so went home with no followup since UTMB won't do anything without prior payment. Still have the same problem, but I now have a big bill to go with it.
