I hold ECMC personally responsible for the neglect that they showed my brother, Robert Pete Gonzalez Jr, after his passing on 6/18/2018 when they knowingly left his body lay on a table after his autopsy for several days. His body was unable to be property prepared for an open casket viewing for his family robbing us all of our finally chance to gaze upon his face one last time. Their reasoning for this is because they say their facility has no refrigerated area to hold someone of my brother's body size. There are other hospitals within the area that are equipped with a refrigerated system large enough for this situation but the lack of professional and personal care for the deceased was not in their best interest it seems. Thanks to ECMC I will not get the chance to say goodbye to my only brother face to face. Their mission statement states, To provide every patient with the highest quality of care delivered with compassion. Where is the care and compassion in this?
