The number of things you claim suck in NJ on a daily basis while continuing to live here is actually pretty remarkable.
No different then everyone else in this state. Turn on NJ 101.5 and everything I say is regurgitated all day long. The more I read about Murphy, the more I get ticked off. If you pay as much attention as I do, you would be mad also.

Inner city hospitals tend to score lower because their patients tend to have more co-morbidities and don’t take care of themselves, or have more drunks and homeless people who fall.
I will second this. Morristown is by the far the nicest hospital I have been too. Even though I have one closer to my house, this one has been my go to. Also a little inside information, this is the hospital of choice, for one of the Presidents of United States

I like NJ 101.5 but unfortunately I feel like their news may as well be a COVID spokesboard for "BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!" Then Bill Spadea comes on. But its like 50-60% of the air time is ads. Very little content in the morning, and I've talked to NJ 101.5 before.. I called in about commute times. They loved me. Said I was more refreshing than a cup of coffee.. all good.
Another question, do you think people tip the valet parkers at Monmouth County Mecidal Center in Long Branch? Or no, they don't tip. Which would you say it is?

Well can't blame them, the government handed them a lot of money to spew "Be afraid of Covid". Bill Spadea is great, and a bunch of fresh air. Really enjoyed his NJ TV show too until it was cancelled.
I do agree, it is nauseating between the commercials, breaks for weather and traffic. It's 2023, we really don't the radio for that information anymore.
Back in the mid-90s we used to do prank phone calls into that radio station. This was before the internet, so you could really get away with telling some wild stories on the radio.
I went to the ER at RWJ in New Brunswick this past summer with stroke symptoms and days of not being able to move one side of my body. I waited 7 hours for my first Test, a CT Scan and 18 hours for an MRI. The doctors were good but the wait was atrocious. I went to the Post-ER Neurology department at Holy Name and they were terrible. They dismissed me and said 'you are too young, this will pass!'.
Holy Name has given me the best care and if I end up having what I think it is, then they have a clinic that handles MS care.
But overall, I just find Holy Name and their associated out patient services to be far better than RWJ.
I've only heard good things about Morristown. Probably one of the best general hospitals in the state. Saint Clare's hospitals had great nursing staff and ER but the main floor doctors were not as good. University Hospital in Newark had awful nursing staff and I wasn't impressed. However, University had a lot of specialist doctors.

On the other hand, my brother-in-law died in November from an infection he picked up at the hospital in Morristown. That was not the only factor. He had bladder cancer surgery, then for some reason we still are not sure of he could not pass urine, so they inserted tubes into his kidneys to drain the urine that way, and he started chemo. After two treatments, he became very sick from what was determined to be an infection that one only gets in hospitals, his immune system was down from the chemo, and he couldn't fight the infection. In the end his heart gave out (he'd been treated for A-fib before), so it wasn't the infection alone that killed him, but he had to have gotten it at Morristown hospital when they did the kidney tubes.
Unfortunately, these infections are floating around most hospitals these days.
I have been in two hospitals in my life. Valley in Ridgewood to be born and then give birth 33 years later, and St. Michael's in Newark for an aborted attempt at removing my thyroid. Two very different neighborhoods, but I was OK at either one.

+1 Iatrogenic infections are indeed a problem--to varying degrees--at all hospitals, and they are the result of insufficient management of the patient's condition by his/her physicians.

I had friends Uncle who had a similar thing happen at Morristown. He went in for some type of leg surgery, wound up catching an infection at the Hospital which turned into being there for a month. He was relatively young (~50) so he pushed his way through it.
