I could tell that they took pride in their office's appearance. It was very well organized and well taken care of. Maybe they were just having a bad day, but they could have been nicer. I wouldn't feel comfortable sending my friends and family there. After many years of medical care that was more than adequate, I was fired as a patient for being "short" with the administrative staff. However; the administrative staff almost cost me my career by not following up on an essential request by the State of Washington. (My employer) I do not feel that I need an alias in this situation. I would prefer to die than to be admitted to Stevens Hospital, now under the veil of Swedish Hospital. Having been admitted to the Swedish/Edmonds hospital, I can honestly say that nothing has changed. It is still the same pathetic hospital with the same dreadful doctors as always. I hope that the original Swedish Hospital in Seattle is as awesome as it was many years ago. I am now being cared for by the UWMC and can honestly say that they are among the best in the world.
