This is based on what happened in the ER and might not apply to the rest of the hospital.

I was taken by ambulance because I was having anaphylaxis from amoxicillin. The doctors and attendants knew I had taken amoxicillin and I was clearly exhibiting signs and symptoms of allergic shock, and I could barely breathe. They would not bring me a paper and pen to better communicate when I asked for them, and they gave me an irrelevant drug via IV against my will (I said no), for which I was charged.

As someone who has had training in immunology and pathology myself, I can tell you that this should have been a clear-cut diagnosis and treatment. I am very forgiving of medical staff, they're only human, but the way in which I was treated was also inordinately unethical, and apparently this is a pattern of behavior at this ER.

I was kept for about six hours until I could breathe better, then discharged. As I was leaving, I saw the radiologist outside (who was very nice), and I spoke with her about my mistreatment, although I was still having a little trouble breathing. She agreed that the doctor should have looked into anaphylaxis as soon as I was admitted, as it was clearly the problem.

It is extremely important that you ask to be taken to a different emergency room if you are informed in the ambulance that you will be taken here.
