Patient-352

This is a stock photo of someone throwing cold water at a woman's face --- to illustrate how the nurse at Sunrise Hospital threw cold water at Patient-352.

Patient--352 went to Sunrise Hospital by ambulance because she was having seizures while watching a show at the Las Vegas Sphere. Sunrise Hospital would NOT allow her sister to be with her. A nurse threw cold water on the patient and told her to quit faking it!! They sedated the patient and released her the next morning (without medical care to determine the cause of the seizures). Shameful treatment!! Read the warnings describing how some people have dizziness, motion sickness and seizures when attending shows at the Las Vegas Sphere.

Just say NO to Sunrise Hospital

WARNING TO READERS

This is a warning about visiting the Las Vegas Sphere!! It can cause dizziness, motion sickness and seizures in some people.

Read the story about Brian Albin who collapsed while attending a show at the Las Vegas Sphere.

What happened to Brian is known as a "photosensitive seizure." This is also likely what happened to the patient on this page (Patient-352) who had seizures when she attended a show at the Las Vegas Sphere.

Dr. Raj Dasgupta was quoted in the article and said:

• Some people have an underlying sensitivity to flashing lights or certain patterns and just don't know it until they are exposed to something extreme.

• A venue with massive, bright wraparound screens and booming sound is about as intense as it gets, so it can trigger this type of reaction.

• The biggest culprits are strobes flashing 3 to 30 times per second, super-bright visuals that fill your entire field of view, and rapid scene changes that don't give your brain a break.

• High-contrast patterns, like black-and-white stripes or grids, can also set off a reaction, especially when combined with those other effects.

He explained further, saying that:

• Anything that stresses or excites the brain makes seizures more likely.

• Skipping sleep, flying across time zones, showing up dehydrated, or loading up on alcohol, caffeine, or other substances is basically giving your brain less buffer.

The Las Vegas Sphere provides a warning to guests, saying:

• Concerts may include elements such as haptics, movement sensations, flashing lights, intense lighting, visual effects, loud noises, falling and flying objects, projectiles, pyrotechnics and atmospheric simulations such as fog, wind, bubbles, mist and scent.

• Such elements may aggravate certain medical or physical conditions, and guests should take into consideration if they have a history of discomfort or physical symptoms when experiencing these elements.

• If you have any concerns and/or are pregnant, you should consult with your physician prior to attending an immersive experience.

There are many articles, comments and reviews online that describe how some people have dizziness, motion sickness and seizures when they attend shows at the Las Vegas Sphere, so it is extremely likely that Sunrise Hospital has seen other patients with these symptoms. However, Sunrise Hospital chose to mistreat, humiliate and sedate this patient instead of providing proper evaluation and medical care.
