The hospital in my town is terrible. More serious conditions are sent to Modesto about 45 miles from here. Quite a few people I know won't go to our hospital. But they do have a nice cafeteria so there's that. 8-)

A bad hospital near me used to be named McKinley, but everyone called it McKillme. When a different hospital group bought them and two other hospitals in the area it was the only one renamed.
