Review of UCLA Olive View Medical Center...

A mistake was made by a doctor and the pharmacy at the hospital that almost killed me and left me going through 4 surgeries and almost completely bankrupted me.

The hospital was investigating it but the main administration and legal was unwilling to meet with me to discuss their mistakes properly and offer a suitable outcome. The best I got was a note their legal department sent along with a doctor telling me they wont meet me after dragging everything out for months.

On top of all of this, an unknown doctor has been harassing me via telephone from the hospital lines and the investigation has had very little result. It took them months to look up the call logs. Also many of the relevant pharmacy records seem to have "disappeared".

The legal team even tried to lie to me and said they found nothing right after their investigation team admitted they found evidence of the calls. Once confronted with that knowledge the admitted they did have some evidence of the calls.The county has also been unresponsive to my claims.

All in all if this hospital makes a mistake don't expect anyone to help you afterwards. They will sweep it under the rug,

*Disclaimer; The doctors and nursing staff here are amazing. They really supported me through months of recovery and went above and beyond. The surgical staff are shared with UCLA. The actions of one bad doctor, pharmacy and irresponsible hospital administration shouldn't reflect on all the other amazing staff there.
