Review of Hamot Health Systems

Been debating to publish this or not. Sept of 201...

Been debating to publish this or not. Sept of 2010 I suffered a severe double leg injury accident. Drs in my town would not work on me & shipped me to Hamot. The ER team was great, Drs were great and got things scheduled for immediate surgery. Next morning I underwent 8.5 hrs of surgery to repair my legs. I awoke in my room with family. It was explained to me what, ect and I'd be staying in Hamot for at least 2-3 weeks, then transferred over across the street to rehab. The very next day, employees came in room to discharge me!! We tried explaining what we were told, nope--shipping me out to go home. We had to make all sorts of arrangements, order a medical bed to house, build ramps, ect--all in one day!! I was in excruciating pain, had to be literally carried down to car of which rode in back of an SUV for the 2 hour ride home. Come to find out, my chart & 2 rooms down hall got mixed and that guy was supposed to be discharged !!! My home hospital took me right in when I got home as it was impossible to get me in my home. We explained about being discharged--they blew up--why would a man in this condition be shipped back home? Reps from Hamot came down to my hospital & talked with me--although I was still sedated. I stupidly agreed to not file a lawsuit against Hamot and got apologies. That was it. Not real impressed with how things went down but here it is. If I could have given a minus review it would have been. Been bugging me for years.
