So, a couple of things… Kaiser is a membership hospital, if you aren’t a member, you don’t get in and as of 1/1/2019, I wasn’t a member anymore. :(
There is this thing called “Continuity of Care” but that only applies for services I had under the old hospital that aren’t available under the new one.
Because the new hospital DOES have a cardiac department, continuity of care didn’t apply.
Lastly, the Hippocratic Oath is largely a myth. ;)
“According to a 1989 survey, barely half of U.S. medical schools used any form of the Hippocratic Oath and only 2% used the original. In a 2011 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, about 80% of practicing physicians reported participating in an oath ceremony, but only a quarter felt that the oath significantly affected how they practiced.”
