Unfortunately, if you’re a patient in one of the big places, you are going to end up paying for all of their services(indirectly) whether you use them or not. You are much better off using facilities that only have what you are going to use—such a an ambulatory surgery center where you are not paying the salaries of pharmacists, food services, etc. The costs aqssociated with such centers are sometimes a quarter of what you might pay in a large facility.
I don’t disagree with that. The problem is most people don’t think rationally like you do.
Those pharmacists at the hospitals are only there to provide services to people who really need them. Thus folks should only go to the hospital if they are in bad enough shape where they must go.
