    the good news is, we stopped at the NEX (Naval Exchange) and stocked up on Moon Pies. you can take…read morethe boy out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park outta the boy ... civility is a sad casualty of the Trump era. this president has made a point of pitting Americans against each other to keep the focus off greedy billionaires (and greedy billionaire pedophiles), and it shows in our relations. a little more than a year into his second term, the Naval Medical Center is an island apart in the mass extinction of thoughtfulness and good manners. against that backdrop, the courteousness of EVERYONE we talked and met with at Naval Medical Center stood out in stark contrast. they were, without exception, kind and helpful. having said that, I can't resist the opportunity for a little, snarky inner service ribbing: the Marine Corps was invented because nobody wanted swabbies armed and dangerous, a lingering prejudice after the mutiny on the Bounty. don't think that's true? look it up. with the increased threat level now that we're poised to nuke Harvard, Canada, Mexico, Columbia, Greenland, Iran, and NATO back to the Stone Age (I think there was something on Fox News about plans to invade Boardwalk and Park Place), sailors with sidearms, etc. are providing security. made me uneasy just to see it ...

    Happy Veterans Day! Thank you for your service. Thanks also to the families and friends who support…read moreour military. We've been visiting the Balboa Hospital facility lately to help my no-longer-driving parents get to their checkup appointments and unexpected emergency room visits. They are doing well, especially because of the professional medical staff. The good: care, concern, and treatment. I may not be the patient, but as an advocate, I appreciate the hospital staff explanations of procedures in common terms so I can repeat it back to my parents, especially because pops doesn't hear so well these days. The pharmacy wait time has gotten better since medication refills are handled at satellite locations elsewhere around town. This pharmacy is open 24/7 for ER patients. The bad: chow options during daytime and lunch hours are food truck(s) at the parking circle, some popup tents at the quad in front of the pharmacy, the hospital cafeteria, Subway, or McDonalds. At night, Subway and McD are the only dinner options...both do recognize mobile app ordering in advance. Hit & miss wait times if you need to need to leave a sample at the Lab, but you can schedule an appointment. The ugly: late morning parking can be atrocious. I get frustrated with having to drop off someone at the circle then driving over to the top floor of the parking structure because there are no open handicapped or regular parking spaces available. If you have an early appointment, account for possible heavy traffic at the sentry gate. Thank you to the medical teams working at NMCSD. I appreciate y'all.

    Dr. Said Hashemi was my Anesthesiologist for a recent major surgery in which I had general and…read morespinal anesthesia. I rate him a 5 because I couldn't have been more pleased with his services. I was very anxious upon meeting him for the first time in the pre-op holding area. He took my hand, stood next to my gurney and patiently listened to my concerns. Then, he kindly and competently explained how the process worked. It was so reassuring. One day post-op, he followed up with me. I was happy to report that I had had no nausea and due to the effects of the spinal, had experienced only minimal pain for the previous 24 hours. Thank you Dr. Hashemi!

    Most people complain about their billing because they have no idea their anesthesia is being…read morecontracted out to a third party, so when they have anesthesia problems they post it over on their provider's listing when they should be posting it here. ASMG has a virtual monopoly on anesthesia care in San Diego. In my experience, there is no accountability when they hurt patients. I've had three total interactions with ASMG and all were negative: one because of billing, the other two because of poor patient care. Billing: in 2002, I had a minor wrist surgery at Scripps Green. ASMG attempted to force me to pay almost $1000 for the care they provided. My insurance said Scripps was supposed to pay. Scripps said my insurance had responsibility for the bill. Barely old enough to enter a bar, I found myself calling all three, repeatedly, trying to get someone to pay it because I, a broke college student living with my mom, wasn't responsible for it under the terms of my coverage. Scripps eventually paid it. In 2008, I had a thyroidectomy at Scripps Green. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Zinser, looked right through me when I met him and I had a gut feeling something was wrong. When I mentioned that I am a natural redhead because the gene mutation has consequences for anesthesia and pain management, he laughed it off. This is a proven scientific fact, and even in 2008, was well known. He allowed me to wake up too soon from the surgery (another physician once told me he probably turned the gas off too soon) with zero pain control because something happened to my IV. He didn't chart what happened, didn't tell me what happened even after it was OBVIOUS I had been conscious during the procedure and after numerous complaints. He was never held responsible for this severe safety lapse that left me with PTSD I still struggle with almost 20 years later. Unbeknownst to me, UCSD also contracts with ASMG so when I had a colonoscopy in 2025, I was, unfortunately, under the care of Dr. Guy, another ASMG anesthesiologist. My IV infiltrated during this very routine 10 minute procedure. Propofol went into my arm. I shared the image of the large, abnormal bruise I developed after this procedure. It wasn't evaluated or charted, nor was I given any post-procedure instructions. I've been in pain for almost a year now with an injury to the radial nerve because of this mistake. Again, a safety issue that went unaddressed and unacknowledged which is why I am posting it publicly here. Both UCSD and Scripps then treated me like a pariah in the course of trying to get care for this injury, forcing me to go to LA to find someone who doesn't have the "ASMG bias." It's clear there's a culture of zero accountability and little care for patients. It's about getting paid.

    On Monday, July 13, 2026, at 2:00 PM, I visited the hospital due to a referral from my stomach…read moresurgeon. The surgeon had recommended an emergency room visit for abdominal pain/vomiting. Upon arrival, I remained quiet and sat alone in the emergency room. This was my first experience at this particular facility, as I had only visited Scripps Green and Scripps Lajolla. During my ER wait, I felt anxious and apprehensive. The atmosphere in the emergency room was unsettling, reminiscent of a crime scene. A security guard wielded a long red stick, threatening to strike a homeless individual who refused to comply. The homeless individuals present responded with aggressive behavior, including yelling and screaming. After approximately one hour, I was summoned back to the hospital. The only available bed was located in the hallway, not in a private room. I endured a two-hour wait before receiving a CT scan. The CT scan technicians were unprofessional and sarcastic, giving rude looks, exhibiting a lack of courtesy and respect. Furthermore, four male nurses or staff members stationed at the entrance to the registration area engaged in inappropriate behavior, cursing and acting in a manner that belied their professional roles. Many of the nurses walked the hallways with egregious attitudes. NEver seen four of the female nurses act this way, I really was asking myself. ..Why am I still here in this ER and not driving myself to Scripps La Jolla, or green hospital. I Simply asked one of the nurses where the nearest restroom was..she gave me a go to hell look and walked right past me, not even answering me. In contrast, my attending physician, Dr. Katherine Ross M.D., was exceptionally pleasant and attentive. I had no complaints about her bedside manner. I am scheduled to undergo surgery at this hospital in the near future, but I have decided to cancel the appointment. I intend to seek care at a safer hospital where I feel secure and where professional medical staff conduct themselves with professionalism and respect. I will thoroughly review my medical bill with my insurance provider to ensure that I am not overcharged. While I appreciate my surgeon's expertise, I will not undergo surgery in an environment that induces fear and discomfort. I strongly advise individuals considering this hospital to exercise caution and explore alternative options. I have great insurance. I am not going to be paying to be treated like a piece of Garbage, to be scared and frightened in a ER. UCSD Hospital, Scripps Lajolla, and Scripps Green are all safer alternatives. Only.
