Cape Cod Hospital Stories

Cape Cod Hospital: "If you want to be treated nicely I wouldn’t come here. 90 percent of the doctors and nurses bully you or don’t take you seriously. I’ve witnessed them ignore 3 code blues one time and watched someone die in the room near mine. All because no one came. I don’t feel safe coming here for any reason, or sending my loved ones here." - Kati
