In my life I have been in six hospitals plus many trips to emergency rooms. My 28 hour stay at St Johns was by far the worst of all and nearly cost me my life. First let me say that there are some very good people there; however there are not enough of them to offset the generally poor quality of care of the others. Everyone is busy just coping with the barely organized chaos of the completely over-sized, inefficient and unmanageable facility. The hospital is in general disarray with little leadership or management shown, incompatible equipment from one section to another - and some of that defective. The general atmosphere is of a sullen, distracted and disparaging staff and a general disregard for the patients. If you have any choice at all, stay far, far away.
