Serious U.S. hospitals are required to publish their prices for medical procedures now, so my friends and I collected around 4 million prices from 30 hospitals in the Philly area and created a search engine where anyone can see how much they may be charged. Let me know what you think!

Serious Penn Medicine is a joke.

784 Upvotes

I get that we are in the middle of a healthcare crisis, but I canā€™t seem to go to Penn Medicine without having a bad experience as a patient. I used to live in a relatively rural area and still managed to feel like my doctors had time, energy, and capacity to see me. Then I moved to Boston and was a patient at Mass General for a while and felt the same- CARED FOR, THE BARE MINIMUM. The air at Penn Med is that everyone is way too busy to even care about you.

Iā€™ve been misdiagnosed by the radiology department, told conflicting information several times by specialists, told ā€œIā€™m not sure what Iā€™m doing hereā€ before a midwife treated me, and now I have a life changing, potentially very serious issue found on a test without any directions for what to do about it. Iā€™m told to follow up with my primary doctor in a month but, oh look, they arenā€™t even available until September and donā€™t even have time to talk to me on how I can manage my symptoms in the meantime, and when I tried to explain why I was concerned about my new issue and think itā€™s an urgent problem I was, surprise, blown off by the medical assistant. Iā€™ve also been on a waitlist for my OBGYN annual exam for over a YEAR.

This is insane. This is not prestige. This is neglect of patient care, and you can sense that everyone feels this way in the waiting rooms, and staff all seem burned out. I canā€™t believe itā€™s this bad and yet theyā€™re seen as the golden standard. It takes MONTHS to get tests and see doctors when things are time sensitive. I canā€™t even get my basic questions answered.

Serious Too many Philly drivers pose a legitimate risk to the safety of our citizens, so when are we actually going to organize?

1.2k Upvotes

Just had a pickup (of course) pass me on Bells Mill Rd for having the audacity to stop at the stop sign and make sure I donā€™t hit any early morning joggers crossing on Forbidden Dr. We need a protest, sit-in, mass streets shutdownā€¦something, anything to get attention on pedestrian and driver safety issues. I canā€™t fucking take this shit anymore.

I am a supporter of the Chinatown community and yes that means I am against t the arena. People say the area is terrible or the mall is dying (the fashion district?) I just donā€™t see an arena fitting there. Also, construction will take years which means businesses like my favorite Vietnamese cafe will suffer and lose business. This will hit the community hard. Similar projects have happened across the United States that saw the loss of those Chinatowns and turned their cities into yuppie central like Seattle. Philly has a chance to do something different and so I say NO ARENA SAVE CHINATOWN!
