City Hospitals

City hospitals all seem the same regardless how they dress them up through the tour. We went for the thousand dollar tour and they show you the 42" plasmas, the large rooms and luxuries but when we showed up with your wife screaming on what seems like a lazy Thursday and then they shove in a shared room which doubled as the supply closet, we knew it would be a long night. Apparently at any city hospital no matter how big or small, you have to expect to see everything and get nothing.
It's amazing how overcrowded and understaffed these city hospitals are and how wide ranging the level or lack of care and attentiveness the nurses show. Some of them really seem to care while other ones are completely condescending and rude. The later in the night it gets the less helpful they become, but the issue might not be the nurses but the fact each one has to handle 10 patients and their crazy husbands.
But they seem jaded, overworked and annoyed, It's funny how every dad-to-be paces the halls hoping to be able to help his wife any relief.

A typical conversation goes like this
