I had a very traumatizing experience and an altering life changing experience. I ultimately lost a loved one due to the negligence of that place. Although all the years I thought this to be quite a top notch place, I realized from this past experience that this is a school. Meaning it is a joke and you are basically an experiment. I won't say everyone experience will be horrible there. Just make sure you have a health proxy, power of attorney everything, if you have some all of a sudden life threatening illness! Make sure that you're family and friends agree that they understand what you're wishes are. And that you have outside patient advocacy because everyone who works for that hospital, best interest is that hospital and not you! The good people there, gets silenced, or underminded, leaving them renderless to providing you the proper care you need. I have witnessed others besides my loved one pass away from coming in there with one thing , then suddenly dying from another. Please make informed choices. Get second opinions. And never feel pressured into making any sudden and drastic measures on behalf of what they might tell you. Please take this in consideration from a mother who lost her child in that place.
This is advice for any where you may go that has your health involved.
