I had symptoms of (possibly) a very serious condition that required a diagnostic test. For 2 days I was made to wait to have it performed, only to get no response from the technician as to when it would happen, until evening when it was cancelled for unstated reasons. I wasn't informed that I'd need to fast for it until they simply didn't serve me breakfast or lunch, so for one day I went without food for almost 24 hours. I'd have been starved another day had I not simply left the place due to their neglect. I still don't know what I had or have, and some symptoms persist. The only things tested for where things I brought up as possible causes. Otherwise, they just storaged me and pumped me with drugs that they had no way of knowing whether or not I needed because they hadn't diagnosed me with anything. They didn't try to figure out what was wrong. 3 doctors from infectious diseases only showed up when I expressed my frustration and threatened legal action. By then I had already agreed to leave "against doctors recommendation", dressed and was ready for discharge. Healthcare in Queens New York is inferior to that of most third world countries. Just pure apathy.
