If you want to visit an incompetently run NYC hospital, look no further than Elmhurst Hospital where the motto is what can I do to make your visit as unpleasant as possible. This hospital is basically Medicaid central. In other words, if you have private medical insurance you ought to go elsewhere unless you like waiting in long lines and being treated like garbage. This hospital basically caters to folks who lie and cheat to obtain Medicaid, aka, the best free health insurance on Earth. Although the staff for the most part is hard working, the administration is culturally insensitive and governs like an ostrich with it's head in the sand. Although the hospital claims to be in the service of the public, it's basically an employment agency for folks in service for themselves.
Pros: Pretty front lobby.
Cons: Patient population, First in line staff, Governance
