46. No apology needed. It sounds like you have every reason to rant.

I'm so very sorry you had such a bad experience.

Was it at the city location of one of the affiliated suburban facilities? My late mother had a very negative experience at the NW affiliate in Huntley, Illinois. NW should be embarrassed to have their name on this building, and I said as much to the Huntley community representative when my mom was discharged. This was during COVID, so during a several day hospitalization, when no visitation was allowed, not once did a doctor call me to discuss the plan of care.
