Medical Professionals - what hospitals would you send your close family to if emergency?

Which ones do you have high confidence of quality care? Who is the BEST and WHY?

In particular, interested in SE Louisiana, but throw in your respective states, please as OT audience is far and wide.

Recent experience(s) for a relative who has had multiple serious emergencies; the care has been significantly unimpressive:

The following were consistent over multiple experiences:

- Dr. does not introduce self (don't know their name) and provides minimal information, context, explanation. Answers questions as if you have 8th grade education (ie, inadequate answers)

- Mis-diagnosis and failed to do a critical test; or incomplete diagnosis another time

- Lack of communication by staff (no explanation why removed from regular meds, critical ones) while in ER for 10+ hours

- lost count of the number of staff that are involved that appears to lack continuity, communication, end-to-end ownership; no one looking holistically after the patient

- basic needs not met (request for support to take to bath room never shows up, after multiple hours)


Know the system is overwhelmed and suspect post-Covid medical world may still be reeling, but this was unbelievably bad (I am leaving out quite a few other significant examples of poor care).

1st world medical care this was NOT!
