Patient-82
No Medical Care and None of His Prescription Medications for 8 days at Sunrise Hospital
Patient-82 was brought to Sunrise Hospital in an ambulance, with a bowel obstruction. They put her in the waiting area for several hours. When she told them she wanted to leave, they put her in a bed "in a hallway among dozens of other people." She eventually left Sunrise Hospital and went to a better hospital in Las Vegas.
Horrible Experience!!!
I understand that all the hospitals were overcrowded, but the lack of medical assistance was unacceptable.
I was brought in by ambulance for a bowel obstruction. Was processed and sent to the general waiting room to wait for a bed. Spent hours waiting.
When I told them I wanted to leave, then I got a bed. I was in a bed lying in a hallway among dozens of other people in the hallway.
Laid there for an hour with no one checking my vitals, etc.
I went to the nurse's station and told them I wanted to be discharged.
I left (without any of the paperwork that I brought with me because they refused to give me copies of my tests) and went to a different hospital in Las Vegas.
They were crowded as well, but I was constantly monitored by a medical professional until I was able to be placed in a room.
Vast difference of medical care.
WILL NEVER GO TO SUNRISE AGAIN.

This is a stock photo of a patient signing an AMA form so they can leave the hospital.
Protect yourself. Just say NO if you are being mistreated or harassed at Sunrise Hospital. REMEMBER, you can leave and go to a better hospital.
Just say NO to Sunrise Hospital
