I went there the other day for a CAT scan and I’m quite perturbed, to say the least. Specifically I went to the new (2 years I think) Ellison Ambulatory Care Center and–it stunk. Smelled. Was maloderous. Not with that baked linen over urine smell that one expects hospitals to have. This was far worse. It smelled old and dirty, like a house that hasn’t been cleaned in 100 years. Like plumbing that has been leaking for decades and mold is now growing up the pipes. Like a fraternity house who keep their dirty sock collection by the front door. It was disgusting. Gross. Sick-making. What was it????????
And to compound my disgust, as I lay having the CAT scan done, I could see drip marks of some “material” all over the machine and the laser window was speckled with drips and dust. “What are these?” I asked the tech.
“Oh,’ said she, nonchalantly, “sometimes the liquid we use for contrast explodes.”
“Is it impossible to get off?”
“No, it comes off real easy with warm water.”
Then why the fuck isn’t someone cleaning the machine?????? Is this an indication of the standard of care of UC Davis? In today’s news, UC Irvine was caught cheating on their Transplant Program; is something not right with the UCs generally?
Who do I complain to????????????????
