Patient-24

A man had a seizure and was rushed to Sunrise Hospital. After no medical care for 28 hours, they finally checked his glucose level. It was 457. His daughter took him out of Sunrise Hospital and found proper medical care for him at Mike O'Callaghan Military Medical Center at Nellis Air Force Base.

If your life is depending on the hope of surviving -- DO NOT GO TO SUNRISE HOSPITAL!!!!

My dad experienced a seizure in his sleep and was rushed to Sunrise Hospital. He remained on a gurney for 18 agonizing hours with little to no medical attention in a hallway.

The staff neglected the patients and left them in their own urine and feces. If you ask them to assist in taking patients to the restroom or assisting someone experiencing grand mal seizures, they literally did not have time or a care in the world that these are human lives that required immediate attention and care.

I had to ask someone to please check my dad's glucose and lipase because my husband and I noticed my dad was urinating quite frequently and I was afraid his glucose level was too high.

10 hours later (after a total of 28 hours at Sunrise Hospital), his glucose was checked, and it was 457!!!!

I asked to leave to take him to the Mike 'O'Callaghan Military Medical Center, and they said his medical bills would not be paid by his insurances because "you are leaving against a physician's advice."

They sent my dad home in the same condition he arrived --- untreated. He could have gone into a diabetic coma.

When we brought my dad home we checked his glucose immediately, and it was unreadable. This time we drove him to Mike O'Callaghan Military Medical Center at Nellis Air Force Base. They triaged him the moment we arrived, and they did not send him back out in the waiting room.

The team responded immediately and started treating him for ketoacidosis and pancreatitis.

Thank goodness there are still a few hospitals that have a team of physicians and staff intelligent and compassionate enough to value the human beings that trust in them. 

Sunrise Hospital Medical Center should be shut down indefinitely. The staff is horrendous, incompetent and unprofessional!! You'd get better care at a veterinarian's office --- yes, where they treat animals.

Thank you Mike O'Callaghan Military Medical Center for caring, and perhaps you can show Sunrise Medical Hospital how to truly care about patients.
