Make your nominations here.

My vote - Carteret General. Only go there if you have nothing to live for.

Hahahahahah...

If I had to pick one, that would be it. I had to go there when I had a terrible stomach bug while on thanksgiving vacation (thanks family member for coming along with your baby which clearly has a horrible stomach virus and threw up all over everybody).

Their blood glucose testing equipment said I was about to die (blood sugars are 26 mg/dl theirs said, whereas mine said they were 128 mg/dl, which is the difference between coma and "normal" for a diabetic). I got put in one of those nifty side rooms with the 3 beds separated by curtains (uh, with a super contagious stomach bug shouldn't I be kept away from the elderly and the not-so-sick?). They didn't run an IV to treat the dehydration (this would've helped with the nausea a bit, as dehydration doesn't settle well with most diabetics). They took way too damn long to get me a tiny little serving of juice so I could verify that I wasn't going to throw up again (like 1-2 hours after they said they'd get me the juice).

Haha, there was also an old man there with a terrible issue with this cough that sounded like he had an upper respiratory infection or something. The doc was like "Yup, he keeps coming here and I can't find anything wrong with him whatsoever!" I mean, get a second opinion or something, or send him to a specialist. Anybody who sounds like they've got a fairly severe respiratory problem that they've had for two years probably shouldn't just be given a script for some cold remedies and sent on their way.

I really think that my odds of surviving would have to be < 50% for me to consider returning to CGH, ever.

lol...My mom is retiring from there next week. I too have heard bad things about that place.

My vote goes to NCSU's student health. Maybe it's not a "hospital", but it is the students' first stop when they need a doctor.

Well, it could be.

The hospitals here treat you, though. Still possible for somebody to have a bad experience. I've only been to western wake (to have myself treated, personally), and Duke Hospital as well (though that was for treatment and not for an emergency). Duke Hospital is fucking amazing.

I heard the hospital in Tarboro used to be pretty bad, but it's UHS now, so maybe not.

^ Damn, how do you know about that place? It used to be called Halifax Memorial Hospital, you know. And the joke was that if you went there, they'd be having a memorial for you.

[Edited on June 24, 2009 at 12:30 PM. Reason : I guess it's not a joke, though. ]

^ Yeah, but he listed that one. And nobody there could remember why they included "Memorial" in the title--true story.

I had to spend about four hours in that dump from 3:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. when a friend fell off my deck at Lake Gaston a couple of years ago.
