Oregon Health & Science University

"Something is going on here similar. It is a really neatly designed building. A friend invited me to tag along to a brief medical appointment and we went up to like the 15th floor. There is even a tram that takes people up the hill. It's located near where a lot of trolleys stop. It is a really nice place to go walking. I overheard a conversation at the Flying Elephants Cafe about people with accents having a harder time finding jobs. I did not eat at the Flying Elephant Cafe so I can't comment on the food or beverages. There is like this propensity for ego mania happening within the walls of this phenomenal building made into a medical facility, that is meant to serve the public and for this reason I am not sure I would feel safe getting treatment here. My body might be targeted for use in the medical school because I am technically homeless sometimes it is more obvious then at other times. However, I do wonder how much favoritism goes on depending on what kind of health insurance a person has. Is OHSU world re-known yet? I was able to charge my iPhone for a bit. The medical students are the good people in society and it was nice seeing them with cheerful attitudes ready to learn about how to treat patients. I get the sense that management is really stressed out here because it is getting ultracompetitive to rise to the top. The setting is ideal overlooking Ross Island."

"They saw to my health needs. I don't like the fact that they cut out my right hip leaving my leg a good 6-9 inches shorter than my left without informing me first. What I thought would be a quick antibiotics fix actually changed my world forever. Sometimes I feel like a guinea pig when I'm at OHSU. And the impact team here can be rather pushy. Some people don't have a life of their own I suppose. I'm on week 3 and it's been a ride. But the food is very very good I think. It's made from scratch and they even have their own bakery. The nurses are very nice and helpful and are happy to help."

"What an amazing group of doctors and nurses here at OHSU. I have never been in a hospital of more compassionate, loving staff. The OB/L&D/NICU department’s are spectacular. I am so grateful we were lucky enough to be here."

"Great place to visit, whether ur a patient, family member, care-giver, medical service provider/staff/physician, or simply just a visitor of the beautiful views and ambience of PDX and it’s Oregonian topography. Excellent medical research center , renowned continual patient-care, on many sides, and an impeccable educational entity for medical health & sciences of the present & the future"

"There are a lot of reasons why this place is so great. I can specifically speak for 10A. The nursing staff is wonderful and kind and eager to help. They are quick to help their patients and do it with a smile. The people make this place! There are also currently nearly 800(!) volunteers total in the hospital that are there specifically to make patients' stay more comfortable. The volunteer program is well organized and that shows by the level of training and scheduling. And the view of Portland is awesome!"
