Patient-124
No Medical Care and None of His Prescription Medications for 8 days at Sunrise Hospital
Patient--124 was placed in the Sunrise Hospital "Fast Track" room which is an extension of the Emergency Department. It has 20 patients in one room, less than 6 inches apart. One restroom for everyone. Nurses are told not to provide services to patients in order to discharge them quicker.
The most horrible place to be is Sunrise Hospital Fast Track (Extension of the Emergency Department/No Regular Rooms Available) with nurses who don't care about your treatment, peace of mind, privacy, or dignity.
The place houses tightly 20 beds of people less than 6 inches apart from one another, separated by a curtain, no confidentiality.
One restroom for everyone on the floor that gets cleaned once per day.
Breakfast arrives at 7:30 am but served cold at 9:30 am.
Meal protocol for each patient given but not followed by nursing staff (take what you get, eat a plain turkey sandwich or starve are your choices).
Nurses from other floors are mandated to serve in the dungeon called Fast Track but disappear from the Fast Track to their original floor.
Nurses laughing and giggling about patient care/needs.
Patients being ignored by staff or taught to re-hook their own monitors because the nurses are on their phones or gossiping.
Nurses told to not give services to patients to get them out of the floor for discharge.
My stay was 5 days in Fast Track with chest pains, shortness of breath, and high blood pressure --- yet the staff either gave me food to increase my blood pressure (after telling them that I can't have that particular meal), unknown medications without explanation (when asked for an explanation told that you're a difficult person and need to be removed asap), as well as the next staff was told not to treat/respond to patients.
This was my first and last time willfully going to Sunrise Hospital.
They need to have staff that love their work or leave. Treat everyone with respect and dignity.
Note to readers: We heard about these horrible, inhumane, crowded conditions in other patient stories including Patient-29, Patient-105, and Patient-120.

Patient says this was a horrible place, and it was "my first and last time willfully going to Sunrise Hospital."
This photo was posted online by another patient at Sunrise Hospital. It illustrates how close the patients are and how there is no privacy.
Just say NO to Sunrise Hospital
