Review of Weiss memorial hospital

I was utterly appalled and disgusted by my treatment at Weiss Memorial this past week and weekend. I was admitted after having a seizure but was not told anything helpful after I became coherent again. Like another review said, the attending physicians kept passing the buck and left me to be a liaison amongst them. Really????

I told doctors, nurses, and dietitians I saw during my stay MULTIPLE TIMES that I have severe food allergies, the most potent being legumes (peanuts, soy, beans, etc). I cannot even be in the same room or I ll go into anaphylaxis shock. On my third day, what did they bring me for lunch? Beans. Beans!!!

I spent my entire stay terrified that I was going to die in there and passed time by trying to just sleep even though I wasn t tired. I still do not know what the doctors discussed as they never relayed it to me. It wasn t until I got a malpractice lawyer involved and my care team that knows the correct dosage of my medication that I was discharged. I had to fight them tooth and nail to get the smallest amount of information. And now I m home with a poor ability of understanding what happened.

Thanks Weiss. You ll be hearing from my attorneys for sure!

And take a look at these gnarly IV spots. I was prodded 6 times but not because they couldn t find a vein. You tell me if these look like whomever placed them knew what they were doing.
