I've had both the best and the worst doctors I've ever had at what was at the time called the Bay Clinic, in Pahoa. I knew both its founders, one a true saint of a medical practitioner and the other who eventually robbed the till, packed up her stuff and left the islands in the night.
I have friends whose live's were saved at the Hilo Medical Center, and another whose brain was cut open unnecessarily and had to be rushed off island to fix the botched job that almost cost him his life.
I know a woman whose life was shattered by an OBGYN in Waimea who otherwise delivered hundreds of babies and every one of their mothers sings her praise.
I am sure, positive, there are both the best, and the worst, in all medical facilities. I also think medicine, as a science, is in its infancy. And, in reality, we're all guinea pigs being practiced upon..
