Patient-79
No Medical Care and None of His Prescription Medications for 8 days at Sunrise Hospital
Patient-79 went to Sunrise Hospital and was never seen by a doctor. Violation of the patient rights to "know my providers and receive informed oversight." Lack of physician involvement felt negligent and eroded the patient's trust in the hospital.
I was admitted to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas expecting standard care, but the admitting doctor never saw or examined me personally, which violated my patient rights to know my providers and receive informed oversight.
Staff listed a physician on my records whom I never met, leading to confusion over my treatment plan and discharge instructions – a common complaint echoed in numerous patient reviews.
This lack of direct physician involvement felt negligent and eroded trust in the hospital’s processes.

What are your rights as a patient
at Sunrise Hospital?
If you are mistreated, abused, harassed or threatened at Sunrise Hospital, read the list of Patient Rights posted on their website, starting with this statement:
Each individual shall be informed of the patient's rights and responsibilities in advance of administering or discontinuing patient care.
The following list (titled Considerate and Respectful Care) is from another section on the list of Patient Rights at Sunrise Hospital, but there is a lot of additional information included on this page.
Considerate and respectful care
- To receive ethical, high-quality, safe and professional care without discrimination.
- To be free from all forms of abuse and harassment.
- To be treated with consideration, respect and recognition of their individuality, including the need for privacy in treatment. This includes the right to request the facility provide a person of one's own gender to be present during certain parts of physical examinations, treatments or procedures performed by a health professional of the opposite sex, except in emergencies, and the right not to remain undressed any longer than is required for accomplishing the medical purpose for which the patient was asked to undress.
(Note: Does Sunrise Hospital ever notify the patients of these rights?)
As noted below, patient stories posted on this website and throughout the Internet show a long-term pattern of abuse of patient rights by Sunrise Hospital.
