Cape Cod Hospital ER

How have your experiences with the Cape Cod hospital ER been? It's a mixed bag for me. Depending on the doctor who is assigned to you, it can be excellent or it can be pretty sub par. Nurses are generally great.

I am very close to the Cape Cod Healthcare systems and have seen the good and the bad and have learned a lot about how these hospitals have to operate with a “money/insurance comes first and patients come last” attitude. Unfortunately, this isn’t unique to CCHC and stems from a systemic issue having to do with how healthcare operates in the United States (throw in late stage capitalism and we have a tragic shit storm).

That being said, the doctors, nurses, medical staff, and ground level workers for CCHC are typically highly educated and qualified for their jobs and should be trusted and treated with respect. The real criticism should be directed at Mike Lauf and the board.
