Reply to You wake up in a Pittsburgh hospital. Which hospital do you hope it is? Which one do you hope it isn't? by ExtremelyQualified
Not Mercy for me. When they did have labor & delivery they almost killed me. I was 8 and a half months pregnant. 2 weeks before I was hospitalized they said they heard my babies heartbeat. Unfortunately, It was mine. My daughter had been passed away inside of me for 2 weeks and my blood was septic. And on her autopsy everything was unremarkable. So to this day I don’t know how she died.

UPMC McKeesport has some fantastic nurses, however. All of their staff were pretty great, every time I've been there. Always got the feeling they were the most "real" or something, like the distance between McKeesport and Downtown meant that they weren't all drinking the Corporate Kool-Aid.
That ER triage on a Friday/Saturday night is WILD, though. Long time ago, went in with a ruptured appendix, and had a woman who spoke only in profanity on one side of me, and a guy who was on PCP (restrained to the bed, naturally) on the other. By the time we were shuffled our separate ways, I'm pretty sure they had decided to marry each other in order to spite a third party.

My mom had an emergency neuro issue. My dad BEGGED the ambulance to take her to Presby because he knew they had a good neuro dept. They wanted to take her to St. Margarets, because it was closer. They finally agreed, and thank god they did. She just happened to have a super rare thing happen to her, and there is like ONE expert in the entire country on this super rare thing, and he just happens to work at Presby and happened to be working there that night when my mom came in. If she had gone to any other hospital or was seen by any other doc, she probably wouldn't be here right now.

Despite my pessimism about the state of healthcare training and delivery in the US, the UPMC Presby-Monte-Magee system is very strong. I’d pick Magee - if you’re admitted to Presby that’s an independent poor prognostic sign (it’s a quaternary referral center - only the sickest end up there).

UPMC Presby, Shadyside, Magee all good with diff strengths. West Penn is best AHN has to offer.
Penn Highlands affiliates might kill you. The transfers from these hospitals always had one foot in the grave before they arrived.

The Classico line of pasta sauces is owned by Kraft Heinz. Heinz has been making pasta sauces in the US for many years, just not under the Heinz brand.

The doctors at Mercy botched a colostomy and killed my uncle. So that place is on my do not go list.

Reply to comment by ProtectorMonty in Can you get a State/Real id at AAA? by ProtectorMonty
Only certain centers do real id in person while you wait (ie walk out.with.a real id). I'm pretty sure the ones in AAA don't.
You can look up real id locations online.

But I agree with the above - bridgeville is super fast.

I'm happy you enjoy your Comcast service and that it doesn't cause an issue for you.
Most of the rest of us like synchronous up/down bandwidth, benefit from actually having it, and not having to pay Comcast a premium to get it.

Thank you very much, my aunt said AAA renewed state id's so they could probably issue me one. What all do I need for a state id out of curiosity? I know birth certificate and social security card but anything else?
