I’ll second how misguided that view of hospital care is. There is ALWAYS a treating team, always an admitting consultant/attending
Then where exactly does the oft-cited kafkaesque nightmare of being "lost in the US hospital system" come from (with patients put in the wrong wards and forgotten for sometimes months; given inappropriate medications that doesn't end up recorded; tested repeatedly for the same problems because the test results were "lost"; etc.)?
