If there was the option of no stars, that is what this hospital would get. I was admitted to this hospital for treatment for a chronic condition that requires about 2 or 3 weeks of hospital stay. I have been admitted into other hospitals for the same condition several other times, including Silver Lake, St. Vincent, Good Samaritan, Huntington Hospital, to name a few. The treatment that I got here was inexcusable. This is definitely the worst hospital in all of California and probably the United States. I was in the hospital for 3 days (remember I said that my condition usually requires 2 or 3 weeks of treatment) and I was still vomiting, not able to eat anything, still on IV fluids and in extreme pain, and they WANTED TO DISCHARGE ME!! I got a friend who is a lawyer involved who threatened to sue them for malpractice and immediately the discharge stopped, but the care went into the toilet. I needed pain medication and I was not provided the medication in a timely manner, my IV's were not replaced and the nurses never came to check up on me, even when i pressed the call button. I requested to be transferred to a different hospital through my insurance and was granted the transfer to Silver Lake Medical Center. Hollywood Presbyterian should be investigated for its healthcare practices and put out of business.
