Review of Maimonides Medical Center

How anyone can give this Hospital/ER anything abov...

How anyone can give this Hospital/ER anything above a 1 star rating is beyond me. I will try and keep this review short because I can write a Thesis. In December of 2016 my girlfriend and I went to them because she was pregnant and bleeding. She wasnt far along in the pregnancy as we had just found out about it 2 weeks prior.

We were stuck in a waiting room for about an hour only to be moved into a much more compact waiting/er room after. When I say compact it was either beds or 6 or 7 seats with other patients waiting. The HIPAA violations alone should shut this place down. When the nurse or doctor would talk to each patient around us there was no privacy and we knew each and everyones diagnosis which included an STI a gentleman was told in front of us. My gf was in pain and promised a tylenol which took just under 7hrs to receive. They ran 2 different blood tests on her which wasnt needed and purposely left the IV in her arm although it had been empty and dried out for hours because they didnt want us to leave without her getting a shot. Even though they knew she had no Insurance and I told them my blood type and she wasnt in danger. The nurse's reply were no one pays their Hospital bills and we didnt have to worry. Nothing but unpleasant, unprofessional, and quite frankly traumatic experiences all around. My girlfriend hasn't been the same since. Shame on the staff and the way this place is set up.
