For the love of God, don't go to this hospital. Bringing my mom here after a heart attack was the worst decision of my life. Instead of performing life saving surgery on her, they let her languish in bed on medications for about a month until they found (a very survivable type of) cancer in her body. My mother had two 100% blocked arteries, and one that was 75% blocked, as well as a leaky mitral valve and nobody wanted to help her, citing a bureaucratic mess.

Unfortunately, this caused the team of cardiologists and the oncologists to fight and even MISDIAGNOSE her cancer. She was told she had lung cancer, and it turned out that she had a very survivable neuroendocrine tumor. Neither team wanted to operate on her, citing the other team's being "combative" as the reason. This was another almost 2 months of languishing in the hospital until her Primary Care Physician even told her, "You have to get out of this place. They are not helping you."

Result? My mom stayed in a hospital getting absolutely zero help, and being put on a ventilator 6 times. When we finally transferred her to Mount Sinai, where she got excellent care, it was too late. She got pneumonia and passed away this Monday at 6:21 pm after a long, suffering road that could have been completely avoided.

I miss my mother more than life itself. At 56 years old, nobody should have to die if your medical staff is competent enough to take care of you. Rest in peace mom; at least you are not suffering anymore. My only solace is that she can no longer feel pain. I hope one day we meet again, my sweet best friend.
