Patient-229
No Medical Care and None of His Prescription Medications for 8 days at Sunrise Hospital
Patient-229 went to Sunrise Hospital. Worst hospital experience of my life. Long waits, including a 24-hour wait in the Emergency Room hallway to get a room. Patient received very little care from the staff. Her family had to provide most of the care. No food or water for 3 days and then they decided they would do an MRI instead of an endoscopy. The MRI never happened. The whole thing was a nightmare.
The worst hospital experience of my life!!
My grandmother was admitted to the Emergency Room (ER) on Tuesday evening. She waited in an ER bed in the hallway for over 24 hours before they had a room available for her.
There is very little nursing staff in the ER, and I had to be by her side for the entire time to ensure she received her meds on time and that her wet bed sheets were changed.
Initially the doctors wanted to do an endoscopy, so she wasn't allowed to eat or drink.
It took 3 days of waiting for the tests, so 3 days of fasting --- and then they decided she was too old to do these invasive tests and would do an MRI instead.
After 4 days of not having an MRI done and getting no information from the doctor, I was able to get a new doctor who found out that radiology was rejecting the MRI because they deemed her needs could be cared for in out-patient.
The whole thing was a nightmare!!!
Thank God for Dr. King who finally told us what was going on and got us a discharge and put a continuing care plan together.

REMINDER: You can choose to leave a hospital. Just ask for the AMA form (AMA means "against medical advice.") Comments posted on review websites have stated that Sunrise Hospital will try to force you to stay using scare tactics such as telling you that insurance won't pay if you leave. If you are not getting proper medical care or are being harmed or threatened, YOU CAN LEAVE SUNRISE HOSPITAL and go to a better hospital.
