If you drive to the outer limits of the national standard of medical care, and continue for another 30 miles or so, you will find this gem of a place that's better ranked with a negative number--1 star is three stars too many.
My 8 day old grandson was admitted for acutely low oxygen levels on the Friday evening of a holiday weekend. A medical student was sent in to explain the results of a cardiac echo, the residents seem to believe bloodwork is an "invasive" test. The diagnostic capabilities of this crowd is limited. Come with an obvious diagnosis or get ready to be ignored/discharged.
So, without any bloodwork after 2.5 days in house, my then 10 day old grandson was discharged to home with an oxygen tank, wrench, no pulse oximeter, no home visit, no parental formal training in the use of continuous oxygen, no firm medical diagnosis, and no clinical endpoints, with directions to "take the baby to the ER if he turns blue". While the residents were not especially knowledgeable, two of them did share their future career goals at the bedside.

My advice to patients: use Wikipedia, YouTube and Craig's list for medical care and supplies before you come here.
My advice to Plaintiffs Attorneys: this one is a negligence smorgasbord. A veritable Home Town Buffet of negligence. Cmon down!
