Took my mother to the hospital because she was having symptoms like a heart attack. At the ER check in the attendant was more concerned with billing information than allowing my mother to be seen by nurse. Once allowed to see the nurse my mother was rushed into the ER and contacted to the EKG 20min later the results showed she wasn't having a heart attack. At that point the hospital staff disappeared. No one came back to my mother to explain their findings of why a 70 plus young woman was having symptoms of a stroke. 4 hours later we wanted to leave as it was obvious my mother was no longer a concern to the staff. It took calling patients relations to get the results of the tests (so we could follow up with our own doctors) and get discharged . I usually don't write about my experiences but in this case i'm compelled to share. The total lack of compassion for patients who are in distress was to much for me to bare. The fact that it was happening to my mother. Well Methodist hospital you got my attention. As a person who believes health care is a calling and not a paycheck. I'm holding Methodist hospital suspect. Why do you open your doors every day. Is it for the honor and sacred duty of health care or more likely for the money. If it's for the money your service sucks. If you're in need of medical attention and you want answers to your medical questions Methodist hospital isn't for you. Park slope we can do better for our community we should demand better or we should find others who can serve the community better . something to think about don't wait till you're in need before critiquing the services in your community. It could mean the difference between life and death.
