How valuable was EKL to Baton Rouge? It seems like it would have been a good place to work for anyone who was a resident or fresh out of med school. Does anyone agree that shutting it down was the right thing to do?

i had my thyroid removed at EKL a long time ago. Doctors and staff were excellent.

Where I work at is a hospital that has a similar patient population....mostly poor people that either don't have insurance at all or only Medicaid/medicare. It's a teaching hospital and while it isn't the newest or prettiest hospital to work in, and the surrounding area is certainly not an area I would walk around by myself at night....it's a great place to learn as a healthcare worker. You will see a much wider variety of stuff there and have more opportunities to gain experience there than some of the "nicer" hospitals where I live at.


I've worked at some of the much nicer hospitals in my area....I much rather prefer where I work at now over them. Usually places like that(the "not as nice" hospitals).....the employees are normally good at working as a team. The facilities may suck...but you'll stay there cause you have such amazing coworkers.
