Now I have a rather checkered medical past and have had occasion to need hospitals up & down the east coast, as well as in a 3rd world country called Louisiana. My experierence today was a shock to my system. I'll explain.
When I entered, the volunteer at the front desk smiled and greeted me pleasantly then personally led me to the main check-in desk. A friendly smiling face took the essential information, then escorted me to a private cubicle for processing. Actual check in took about 15 minutes because of the mounds of paperwork involved in absolving hospitals of any misdeeds. However, I was spoken with as if I was a real person and not just an annoying interuption in said paperwork.
After being processed, the clerk personally escorted me to the radiology lab waiting area & wished me well. After a brief 5 minute wait, a young tech greeted me with his name and shook my hand. He offered information, privacy and again, talked with me as if I was a reasonably intelligent co-inhabitant of the planet. I was impressed.
When the testing was complete, this delightful young man personally walked me out to the lobby and wished that we'd see each other again, but under different circumstances.
I have never had such a positive medical experience and the next time I feel like I need a little love, I'm heading for my little hospital. Thanks to all of you or ya'll as we say here in L A.
