No. They do not give everybody heparin shots 3 times a day.
So I would take this rant with a bit of salt.
I think it differs among hospitals and hospital chains.
This is all a bit broad brush. For another example I have yet to be in a US hospital room that did not have a big bank of windows that allowed the patient to see the sun. Sometimes in fact you saw a bit too much sun.
And they usually have a garden area where you can go for sunshine and fresh air.
Is this guy right about things like this happening in some hospitals? Probably. Is he right about it happening in every hospital? Nah.
The one point he makes that I totally agree with is never leave your loved one alone in a hospital.
It differs even the year in which you went to the hospital. The one in our neighborhood was great in 2011.
Then by 2016 they almost let my daughter die in birth because the doctor didn’t want to miss her mother’s birthday party.
Then by 2022 they would just ignore the patients; I pulled off all my monitors, walked out of the room and went home.
The next week patients were complaining that a man had died on a stretcher in the hallway. Eventually they got around to removing him before he started smelling.
There is a big difference between a for profit and a not for profit hospital. You get much better care in a not for profit facility.
