AHC administration and management is a huge mess. The money the execs are making + the perks is insane. The contracts they hand out to consultants who work there for a year or 2 and then leave with unbelievable severance packages boggles my mind. How the alta govt lets it go on without giving a crap is beyond me.
Having said that, my limited experiences with actual HC has been pretty good. I sat around an emergency room with a broken wrist for about 4 hours before I saw a doc, but when I didi go in, the admitting desk nurse asked me why i didn't ask for pain drugs, while I waited. my mistake, and if I ever end up in the same situation I will ask for drugs, while I wait. I also realize that other emergencies are going to happen that make my emergency not so urgent.
Once I was in for surgery though, it was great. All of the nurses were super. I don't know how they can stay so happy and positive working there but I figure this is their life calling and not just a job. I would've stayed longer then the 4 or so days i was there if I could've.
