This Hospital is horrible. The doctors are mean, rude, and will find any excuse to send you home, even if you are literally on the verge of dying. The nurses will talk to you like you're a gang member in the street and I've had some of the worse experiences of my life here! I walked in here with a horrible headache, and let's just say I somehow ended up needing open brain surgery. Well, 1 turned into 7 as everything kept going wrong. From blood clots, to strokes, to comas, to ending up in the ICU with a fever so high they had to literally put me in what they called an ice room. So many times I almost died and to top it off I was discharged wheelchair bound. How does that happen?! And then, I was just there the last week, admitted, told I had swelling of the brain, given IV meds that basically kept me sedated and today Dr. Goldberg or however you spell his name, comes in and accuses me of being a drug addict and tells me to go home. He tells me that I obviously can walk because I have my legs crossed.. and that if I'm in so much pain in my head then how can I handle having so many "new" tattoos? Um.. ok?! I'm sorry but have we met before? How would you know which tattoo is the most recent? Why would you just assume I can walk because I have my legs crossed? My wheelchair was right next to me and you even stormed out of the room when you saw that I had to have my boyfriend pick me up and put me in the wheelchair because: I. CAN'T. WALK!
I'm sorry sir if you're having a bad day or anything like that but I've never been treated so badly and especially not by a Doctor who supposedly specializes in pain management.
Worst bedside manner ever.
