Patient-119
No Medical Care and None of His Prescription Medications for 8 days at Sunrise Hospital
Patient--119 went to Sunrise Hospital. She said Sunrise Hospital completely fails at communication. They don't explain anything to patients or caretakers. Zero communication. Zero accountability. Stay away.
Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center completely fails at communication.
They don't explain anything to patients or caretakers, offer no clear directions, and make it nearly impossible to get the help you need.
Someone I know was medically gaslit here --- told their condition wasn't serious and denied a referral to a specialist, with no explanation.
If I had a heart attack today, I wouldn't trust this place to save me or even refer me to someone who could.
Zero communication.
Zero accountability.
Stay away.

Who is Liable for Failure to Communicate a Diagnosis?
A failure to communicate diagnosis occurs when a medical professional does not adequately relay essential diagnostic information to the patient. This can happen at any stage of the healthcare process, from failing to inform a patient of test results to omitting critical updates about a developing condition.
Common examples include:
- Not informing a patient of abnormal lab or imaging results.
- Delaying the delivery of a life-altering diagnosis such as cancer or a chronic illness.
- Communicating test results to the wrong patient.
- Failing to follow up or misinterpreting the need for urgent intervention.
Liability doesn’t stop at the doctor. Other healthcare professionals and institutions may also be responsible:
- Primary care physicians
- Radiologists who fail to report findings
- Nurses or medical assistants who don’t relay results
- Hospitals that lack proper communication protocols
When a diagnosis is documented in the EHR (Electronic Health Records) but never actually communicated to the patient, both the provider and the system may be held responsible for negligence.
