    When I got in an accident and was on the ground with a broken bone, the EMT asked if I had a preference about which hospital to go to. Like I was going to check out reviews with one working arm, from the pavement.

    The US is a dystopia

      Some people will already have a preference and not need to look up anything. I would have if the accident happened near where I live. Imo it’s not a bad question at all.

          ? Where did I say it was about cost? I don’t live in the usa. The 3 hospitals that I could potentially pick from are public hospitals and their cost for the same procedures would be exactly the same, since they have to stick to a government price list. But between those 3, I still have a preference.

          My closest regional hospital is a steaming pile of shit. I’d gladly go to the slightly further one that is not a steaming pile of shit if asked.
