Patient-108
No Medical Care and None of His Prescription Medications for 8 days at Sunrise Hospital
Patient--108 had a stroke and went to Sunrise Hospital. She received very poor medical care and had to go to the ICU. Her husband stayed with her every minute because of the poor care she was receiving. Sunrise Hospital sent the patient home without supplies for the feeding tube, so she went the entire weekend without food or water.
I found this to be the worst hospital I've ever seen.
My wife was sent there for a stroke, and although the doctor finally got around to removing the clot from her brain, the after care especially was a nightmare.
The response time for asking for nurse assistance was either slow or non-existent. Same with the blinking warning lights and buzzers on the monitors, as well as clearing my wife's throat out when she was hacking up phlegm, causing it to go into her lungs, which landed her in the intensive-care unit.
Because of lousy response time, I felt the need to spend the nights in the room as a first-responder having lost confidence in the nurses there (who seemed to all be new at their profession).
I even saw one nurse install my wife's oxygen line into her nose upside-down, causing a drop in her needed oxygen. And the nurses' response to me for hunting them down was that of annoyance.
It was a skeleton crew on watch in the evenings.
I watched as they sat at their desks, ignoring the various monitors beeping warnings from various patients.
I alerted one fellow who was at a computer about the screaming monitor and he said he knew nothing about it, because he's just a student. No response.
We never saw the same doctor more than once.
In the end, they recommended that my wife be sent home under hospice care, and when they shipped her home on a Friday, they didn't even provide food for me to feed her through her feeding tube. So my wife went the entire weekend with no food nor water.
I asked the Harmony Hospice nurse why didn't the hospital provide some food at least over the weekend, and she just shrugged her shoulder.
Very nightmarish experience.
If this is the best stroke hospital that Nevada has to offer, then we're in serious trouble!!

These two photo list the signs of a stroke.
Just say NO to Sunrise Hospital
