Ive been here 8 days and Im recently widowed with lung disease, COPD, Anemia, Leukemia, and now being tested for cancer in my lung. Staff is UNFRIENDLY at best, I've been forgotten at meal time and alot of these tests require a day fast. One missed meal and I weak, tired, and neglected even forgotten. Now I lay watching those same feelings in my son because he is to scared or cant afford to leave his Mom. You deny a hungry patient and her son who she is finely tuned to car for now I feel robbed violated and in the hands of the serpent. not even the trays i paid for but fasted from could u pass on instead it went in trash. I have insurance. I paid my taxes. Why No compassion. No empathy. One basic need in the richest nation on earth in what is suppose to be the safest place in the city for a person waiting on a potentially fatal prognoses. Now make me watch my only son go hungry for 3 days now. He says he just wants to be here for me and i love him for that. With such power to make a difference but to make it no easier and cause struggle, hunger and difficulty is inethical and immoral. Shame on you! The only reason a patient should be refused anything should be for safety and wellbeing. "We are so limited to what we have on floor becauae we have no one to go down and get more" IS NOT AN ADEQUATE REASON OR EXCUSE to allow a person to starve for lack or money, insurace, or an arm band! This is despicable behavior!
