What is the best hospital to go to in Southwest DC?

[Stephanie]

Does anyone know?

[Zuni]

1. Southwest DC is very small

I cannot imagine them having too many hospitals, since most of it is Bolling AFB

[Stephanie]

2. He is at a Best Western hotel there

and he is looking for a good emergency room within cab distance

4. Thank you!

Are you in DC?

[Cuban_Liberal]

5. No, but I've spent a lot of time there.

I'd go to Howard U. E.R., if it were me.

:)

[Stephanie]

7. Okay good, thanks!

[Cuban_Liberal]

8. I went there once, and received excellent care.

[Stephanie]

10. Thanks - he is at I Street and South Capital

Is that close?

[Cuban_Liberal]

13. About a 10-15 minute trip.

He's almost as close to Washington Hospital Center (GWU). DC General is closest to him--- 5 minutes.

14. Great information......

Help is on the way! :yourock: :grouphug:

[Stephanie]

16. He's calling you now

[Stephanie]

17. liberalnurse did you get my PM with the number?

I just tried to call you but you gave me the wrong number I think

[liberalnurse]

18. I got it.......

Thank you so much.....I left a voice mail. I talked to him too. I'm going to talk to the doctor as well. Make sure he is up to the task....This is an unfamiliar service so I am just being a mother-hen.

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. Thanks, liberalnurse....

:toast: You are doing this for a good friend of mine.

[liberalnurse]

19. I did....dyslexic moment.....

I'll PM the correct one this time.

[orthogonal]

11. Go to GWU

GWU treats Cheney.

DC General and Howard, well as a former DC resident, I'd really question the quality of care.

But GWU took good care of me when I needed it.

[Stephanie]

12. Are you in DC?

Do we have any DC DUers?

[kitkatrose]

15. Yeah, I live in DC.

I say HUH, cuz I go to Howard and it seemed like okay care. At least my friend got decent care for her ovarian cyst. It just seems a bit overloaded sometimes.

21. Washington Hospital Center

is renowned for excellence especially for cardiac care. Also, when I hear about a big accident the chopper is always headed there. DO NOT go to DC General. Don't know about Howard or GW.

[Karenina]

23. DC General

has been CLOSED for years...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. Hope he's better soon!

I'd probably go with 1) GWU or 2) Howard, myself...
