In the past 5 years I have had several experiences at for profit hospital as well as the Veterans Administration Hospital. At the for profit hospital I felt like a prisoner who had to follow orders; at the VA (New Haven, CT) I felt like I had a voice and the docs/nurses actually wanted to help. Also at the VA the staff was extremely helpful and attentive, at the profit hospital staff was definitely overworked understaffed and had little time for compassion.
