Patient-62

No Medical Care and None of His Prescription Medications for 8 days at Sunrise Hospital

Patient-62 went to Sunrise Hospital with broken ribs and was told he had a brain tumor. He received very poor care at Sunrise Hospital. The staff was not a team and seemed like they did not even care about the patients and would not respond to phone calls.

My father-in-law was admitted to Sunrise Hospital due to broken ribs.


While he was there, they did an MRI and found a brain tumor.


First and foremost, you have to go through a lot just to enter this hospital. Then they make you walk a very long way due to the security process.


The hospital smells bad. It appeared to be dirty.


None of the staff were a team. None of them knew what the other one was doing.


They seemed like they did not even care for their patients.


My father-in-law had headaches, and he would have to wait all day long for a Tylenol.


If they told you they would be back, it never happened.


In the end, they lost his dentures.


They avoided our calls and requests.


They DON'T CARE.


I DO NOT recommend this hospital.


Note to readers: This patient was told he had a brain tumor. Did he really? Many stories have been told about patients who were given false diagnoses of serious health issues, and the patients learned later that it was not true. It was merely an attempt by the hospital to bill more expenses to the patient or their insurance company. Read the story of Patient-21, a young man who was forced to go through multiple, horrible procedures and surgeries even though Sunrise Hospital knew early on that the patient had colon cancer.


Sunrise Hospital, what should be done about lazy employees

Patient-62 received very poor care at Sunrise Hospital. The staff was not a team and seemed like they did not even care about the patients. They would not respond to the patient's calls for help.


NOTE TO READERS: Many of the complaints about Sunrise Hospital include comments about poor medical care, lack of communication, staff not responding to patients' requests for help, etc. The hospital needs to eliminate under-performing employees (executives, doctors, nurses and other staff).


Just say NO to Sunrise Hospital
