As a leading health insurance broker for almost 30...

As a leading health insurance broker for almost 30 years in the Birmingham market I have experience with all the hospitals in Jefferson County. I watched the system at this hospital fail every day for almost three weeks with a family member. This system is broken. As a matter of fact, many of the care givers in the building agree. I feel compelled to help others benefit from what we observed. You have a choice in hospitals: For the love of your family members, go somewhere else. I don't say this out of anger or grief, I say this out of basic common sense. People should know our story. It would take too long to explain everything that went wrong. Nothing short of bizarre at times, downright scary at other times. There are care givers in the building that are absolutely excellent at their job. They are at the mercy of system that fails the patients they care about.
