Hello! I work at a hospital.
What a great job! Is your hospital a trauma center, children's hospital, geriatric or rehabilitation hospital?
It's a children's hospital. They're a really vulnerable population, so it's really gratifying work.
I'll bet it is! Is your facility also a teaching hospital? A teaching hospital trains medicals students and nurses.
It is! We have a lot of students just out of medical school learning the ropes at our facility. It's great to see the future of medicine in good hands.
I agree! I've heard that specialized hospitals can help reduce health care costs as compared to general hospitals. Do you think that's true?
I do think that's true. Having people with specialties helps to get patients the exact care that they need.
I think that's true! Of course, there will always be a need for general hospitals as well to treat urgent health problems like accident victims and heart attacks.
