Really interesting to see the 'insider' viewpoint. Thanks for sharing! I've got to start investing in one of these hospitals! speaking from the other side, i can tell you that it may look like you’re saving a bit here & there. my personal experience is that even for me, working in the same hospital that my father was admitted to last year, there are a lot of miscellaneous items that are difficult to keep track of. for example, before my father was admitted, he was on regular medication prescribed by my colleague & purchased from the hospital’s pharmacy.
