Why no names of hospitals? I know of one particular hospital that is responsible for many deaths. Sharing the name of that hospital might actually be a mitzvah.
My wife has a dying appendix 18 years ago. Severe acute pain for many weeks. Overcrowded hospital kept her in triage alone for five hours. Eventually drive to NJ where they had trouble diagnosing the exact problem but did emergency surgery and took out her appendix which was going gangrene. If she had stayed in the first hospital, we joke that we’d still be waiting (this was 18 years ago). In reality, of course, she would have died.

I know two others who died at the same hospital. One possibly preventable, and one almost certainly preventable.
