Reply to What’s the point of the airport if the flights are always going to get cancelled? ORH to JFK flight this morning cancelled. by gm33

I’ve had flights from JFK to ORH canceled twice. One time I was alone and they got me into Boston and I had to Uber to Worcester to get my car. The next time- this past May- I was traveling with my 2 kids and one of their friends on a Saturday night and Jet Blue said they couldn’t get all 4 of us on a plane together till Tuesday. No hotel room offered. So it took me till 3am to get a rental car- so many other people in the same boat- and I had to drive to Worcester from JFK after paying nosebleed car rental prices that were more than the flights. Oh- and on top of that they lost one of our bags. I’m so over Worcester airport and unfortunately Logan is horrible on the weekends now due to the Sumner Tunnel construction so it will be Providence for me from here on out!

Reply to Which hospital system is better - UMass or St. Vincent? by MarketMan123

I work at UMASS however I have family/friends that have gone to both. I would say UMASS except for non life threatening ER stuff. Unless you are a level 1 trauma, need a cardiac cath or pedi ER you’re going to wait a very long time at the UMASS ER. That being said, I feel like post pandemic healthcare is still a bit of a mess. My dept in particular is still largely staffed by travelers and while some are fantastic, there are a few who are just there the make the big bucks and don’t care. So many people who were able to got out of healthcare, at least at the bedside level.
