Patient-49

Patient-49 is a male patient who was in a bad car accident. Sunrise Hospital gave him very little medical care and no pain medication and left him naked and exposed for several hours.

My family member was in a car accident early this morning, and this is the worst hospital experience I have ever had.

He was in a very bad car collision, and they took him to one of the trauma rooms in the ER. They did not give him any pain meds and did not wipe his dried blood from his body from his very severe car accident. He's clearly NOT OKAY --- he has gashes, cuts, bruises, stitches, like everything.

He was left naked, no gown, the same exact way as when he came from the accident which was at 5-6 a.m. We arrived at the ER to be with him around 10-11 a.m., and he wasn't cleaned up or anything.

The nurses are saying they're too busy to wipe him or check on him.

Mind you, I wasn't being disrespectful at all from the start. When I arrived, I even asked nicely if I can go into this trauma room, and they looked at me if I were crazy from asking a simple question.

When we told his first nurse this isn't okay to leave him like this and we tried to get a new nurse, no one seemed to know who is taking care of him as their patient. I actually had to say so "no one is taking care of him."

Finally, a nurse named James tried to step in and help as much as he could.

The first nurse, a woman named Madelyn, was so disrespectful and clearly was just sitting, doing nothing, not helping him.

I've been in different ERs for less severe incidents than this, and I had better care. This hospital is a disappointment.

I am a nursing student. This just showed me that if these are the people in charge of our lives, I'm scared for my life and the future for others. Especially, if this is the care they provide.

And, my family member is still in there waiting for a room in the ICU because they're booked!

Plus, they left trash on the floors and trash on the trays. I had to throw away their biohazards since clearly this hospital can't do it, and I have to try my best to care for my family member (since the staff isn't taking care of him).

I will file a complaint because this is unacceptable. Reading the reviews, this poor care of patients at Sunrise Hospital is very common.
