Patient-123
No Medical Care and None of His Prescription Medications for 8 days at Sunrise Hospital
Patient-123 was taken by ambulance to Sunrise Hospital. He waited for several hours and never received medical care. The staff left him in a wheelchair in the waiting area and did not tell the family. They had to fly home in order to get medical care. His hometown hospital found that he had sepsis.
The Sunrise Hospital ER (emergency room) was a nightmare!!
My husband was brought in by ambulance from the airport after he became too ill to board the flight.
It was hours before he was seen after triaging him --- without me being allowed into the area.
He was so ill and confused and did not give correct answers to their intake staff.
He was put in a wheelchair and rolled into the waiting room without informing us.
We happened to notice him across the room!!
We waited for hours before being seen.
I am a nurse, and I am appalled by the lack of concern and care we were subjected to. We were told we could take him home and be treated locally.
By the time we flew back to Iowa (a 3-hour flight, plus waiting time at the Las Vegas airport), he was septic from a stone in his bile duct and was sent by ambulance to a GI (gastrointestinal doctor) and Infectious Disease specialists.
Sunrise Hospital was recommended by the ambulance crew, and I am sorry we listened to them!!

Just say NO to Sunrise Hospital
