Carolinas Medical Center versus Presbyterian Hospital »
For better or worse, we recently had the opportunity to visit Carolinas Medical Center when my wife went in for a brief operation. We went in on a Friday morning, and by lunch time, she was being wheeled in for the procedure. A couple of hours later, she was out and in her very own room. By Sunday, she was headed home. Overall, it was a good experience (more details below).
Contrast this to the three day surprise visit to Presbyterian Hospital, and I'd have to say that we were pleasantly surprised.
Firstly, let me say that we fully understand that in one case (CMC), we had an appointment, while in the other we did not. I know that makes a difference. But there are other differences as well, that cannot be solely blamed on the conditions under which the patient was admitted.
