The Hospital: Life, Death, and Dollars in a Small American Town | Brian Alexander

pick

Story of healthcare told in a compelling way, personal stories that highlight the challenges faced and how solutions are not implemented for a variety of reasons. It is ultimately depressing to see so many people refusing solutions that would help them and their fellow citizens.

I picked this up as person living in a town with similar demographics with a mid-size independent hospital. The hospital is also our biggest employer, and there is ALWAYS drama about its runnings.

This nonfiction account was at its best when following the members of the community that used the hospital‘s services. I also enjoyed learning more about the operation of local, independent hospitals in general. I could‘ve done without the infighting ⬇️

Megabooks ⬆️ and account of the boardroom and C-suite drama. About ⅔ of the was through, I began to skip those parts, and I don‘t think it diminished my reading. At 15 hours, I think you‘d have to be very interested in this particular corner of town life to persevere, but if you are, then I do recommend this. A bit of a niche read. #audiobook 4y

Cinfhen It sounds really interesting but I‘m not sure I‘m interested in those small nuances...I‘m gonna add this to my #BorrowNotBuy list 4y

Megabooks @Cinfhen yeah, it‘s a book that takes commitment to the subject matter. 4y

Reviewsbylola This sounds absolutely fascinating! 4y

Megabooks @Reviewsbylola it‘s actually set in Ohio, but up between Toledo and ft Wayne. It‘s long, but I really enjoyed it. 4y
