I know they get a bad rap, but I have to chime in for Hilo Hospital. They saved my ass once. The pharmacist had to get out of bed at 3AM and get some plasma and he was cheerful about it. Tney were upfront about what they were and weren't capable of, sent me to a doc on the west side who was awesome. They were friendly, cheerful, and went out of their way to comfort my wife.
My kid was sick recently and they had trouble diagnosing him. One of the senior docs said the problem is that because of their reputation, and the fact the Hilo isn't percieved as a sexy place to be, they have trouble attracting the best med school graduates. I'm grateful they are there.
