After the the care I received from this hospital and its staff, I wouldn't even send my mother here...and she's been dead for 20 years.
You can be half dead by the time the nurses ever get around to answering your call. You get admitted for a surgery, but they put it off long enough for you to get an infection and not be eligible for the surgery, them keep you in bed for 2 weeks until your body atrophied then they decide to send you home with no aftercare and you can no longer walk.
Albany med and its sister hospital, Saratoga Hospital are the places to be....if you want to be unalive.
