Nothing has changed other than the name.all Clevel...

Nothing has changed other than the name.all Cleveland Clinic did was to buy a bankrupt hospital and put thier name on it!
Suggestion; DIRECTLY send your concerns and complaints to Gregory Rosencrance the director and president of Cleveland Clinic IRMH.....GOOD LUCK!!

Updated; They ve gotten better in 2yrs. They went from a 2.3 star rating to a 2.4 rating. And still nowhere near Cleveland clinic s protocol and patient care.
On 29 July 2020 I went in for a simple routine kidney biopsy At 7am. When I was being prepped For the procedure I told them I needed a sedative, they didn t give me one. Then they Wheeled me in to the CAT scan room for the procedure, at 7 AM they Placed me Face down head propped up feet propped up on a hard CAT scan table. I was a little nervous about the procedure because of all the warnings and cautious about it.(look it up if you re not familiar) well they start a procedure by checking out my kidneys and seeing where they were at ,so when they stick the needle in to take the biopsy they would know exactly where to put it. While they were doing that I complained about laying on a hard metal bar across my umbilical hernia it was uncomfortable! One of the MAs or Technician told me it was plastic but they didn t do anything to make me comfortable. this was about 8 o clock. The doctor came in and they started the procedure and my blood pressure went up to 175 so they gave me some blood pressure medicines to bring it back down. it went back down to 150 so they started it again and it shut up to 200 when they stuck the needle in and they almost got the biopsy but they quit the procedure.... told me they would have to do it some other time when I got up from the table I was in excruciating pain from my umbilical hernia because they inverted my intestines bulging out of my navel and I had to go to the emergency room! Where I spent the rest of the day till 6 o clock that night without anything to eat Or drink since 8 o clock the night before. While in the emergency room waiting for them to bring my blood pressure down fix my inverted hernia and do whatever else I do for over nine hours?
I was in room 22 and across the hallway was room 21 a Coronavirus room with a patient in it being tested THIS IS WHERE IT GETS SCARY! A Xray tech in full hazmat gear wheels in the x-ray machine, and after she was done. She come out of the room shuts the door and TAKES OF HER GLOVES AND PAPER SMOK and THROW IT in the TRASH CAN right outside my room With my door open????? I worked a flight and ground safety and I know OSHA rules this was definitely unprofessional and a safety violation!
And I will be writing all this up and making a report so I guess if anybody cares like the CEO of the hospital take note . Look up my name on 29 July for a 7 o clock kidney biopsy procedure and all the records are right there be waiting to hear from you!

I hope because I haven t been tested since then. I don t catch anything because then the media and State health department will get involved!!!!!

I thought this was supposed to be Cleveland clinic, Not the old Revived bankrupt IRMH?
