Rick Brownlee Review of Georgetown Univ. Medical Cente...
I have only a very few memories of this supposedly...
I have only a very few memories of this supposedly "Prestigious" Teaching Hospital.
I was transferred here by Ambulance from Shady Grove Hospital because they were NOT EQUIPPED to handle an Emergency Hip Replacement Surgery to fix my Fractured Hip from a Trip & Fall.
I had the Sad Misfortune of having to be treated on a Weekend Night. These times are heavily Reserved for "Students" & "Would-Be Doctors". Believe Me....I payed for it BIG TIME!!
The last thing I can remember (even with my PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY) was having my bed wheeled around a corner in their ER Department. What happened next was Beyond the Unimaginable.
Before they could even begin the Surgery, I had not 1 but 2 Cardiac Arrests!! BYE BYE LIGHTS OUT!!
After awhile I opened my eyes to Tubes, Lines & Wires EVERYWHERE! I had 2 Tubes (Breathing & Eating) going down my Throat so I couldn't talk. I recognized my Mom thru all the Fog & Bright Lights. She said to me, "If you value your Life, you'd better get up outta here NOW! I heard the Students say they wanted to TRY IT AGAIN!!!" I wrote on a piece of paper to PLEASE TRANSFER ME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND MEDICAL CENTER IN BALTIMORE since they knew me better.
Georgetown did not hesitate & ordered for me to be transported there by MedStar Helicopter because of my Dilemma (Recent Open Heart Surgery, Dialysis Patient, Fractured Hip & now 2 Cardiac Arrests).
I did send an Email to thank the "Real" Staff for then taking over & moving the Students & Would-Be's to the side.
That was my 1st time there & hopefully my Last Time!
Thanks for the Fast Transfer & ALL the Rapid Response for my Code Blue's!!!
