The hospital was Northwestern University in Illinois - big major hospital. When I was there, they didn't even bother to weigh me! Pretty much left me in the room all day and then sent in a physciatrist for evaluation. Next day "doogie-howser" who looked all of 18 yrs old told me I'm fine, they're releasing me and follow up with my PCP.

Another true story - when I developed a chalazion on lower lid (another immune disorder) I saw an optometrist/plastic surgeon because it became inflamed and very red, looking infected. She took one look and said, no big deal it's just inflamed. Days later it really hurt, and I went to a different MD affiliated with another hospital and he lanced it, and pus came out and was infected. I filed a complaint against first Dr for improper care and treatment and the final decision was that she gave me proper care.

Sounds like you've been fortunate enough to have excellent medical care and facilities.
