Review of Hôpital Saint Antoine APHP

I regretfully join the negative opinions, but you have to tell the truth. Seven months pregnant, my wife fell heavily in the street and was sent to nearby Saint-Antoine with multiple abrasions, bruises and a severe ankle sprain. Reception in the emergency room was quick, as was the radio to check for fractures ...
And then nothing. She was abandoned for 2-3 hours on a stretcher in the hallway and without painkillers. No exam to check the health of the baby that she did not feel any more move whereas the nurses admitted themselves that that could be worrying. Refusal of ultrasound. Refusal to contact the maternity unit following the pregnancy. Basically, this young mother had to fend for herself by being injured. But the worst part is that afterwards a young intern came to regretfully tell her that they could do nothing more, gave her a prescription and asked her to free the stretcher and go home. My wife was in shock. No matter how much she reminded the staff that she could not walk (severe sprain, bruises), that she had no vehicle or relatives to pick her up, we just told her that she could not stay. And better still, we refused to accompany her at least to the entrance of the hospital, we asked her to go there by herself, walking and using the wall.
It was when she saw her dragging herself around the reception desk that one of the secretaries was scandalized, called a nurse, and the steps were taken to reach a taxi and bring her back to her home. However, I had to leave my work to come and collect it at the bottom of our building.
I am a caregiver myself, but I find the way in which an injured young woman was treated, who moreover could very well have had a miscarriage, without anyone moving!
