Review of Florida Medical Center

Hello. I am a current patient in the Florida Medi...

Hello. I am a current patient in the Florida Medical Center. I was admitted on Monday, January 25 via the Emergency Room. The ER staff was very efficient and my diagnoses was quickly found and I was treated and admitted to a very NICE room in the Hospital.

During my stay here I met the most efficient, dedicated staff I have ever experienced, whether as an inpatient or an outpatient.

There is, horwever, one big problem, and because I am trying to stay calm despite the chaos, I choose to use some humor in all of this to maintain my equilibrium.

Well you all know about the Affordable Care Act and how the government is trying to keep healthcare costs down. Well, believe it or not, I am anxiously awaiting transfer to a Rehabilitation Center since Friday for continuity of care. The hospital Dr., appropriately discharged me on Thursday, January 28th. Today is Frbruary 1 and I am still hanging out in the hospital, waiting to be transferred somewhere. You see, the room is very nice and I have privacy, but who is going to give me rehabilitation to restore my health so that I can return to work? And since I am an Independent Contractor, who the h--- is going to pay me for loss time at work because of the negligence of the hospital staff to send off the appropriate documents to the insurance company? Is this situation a one time oversite or is this a method used to hype up the cost of the patient's Hospital) stay?

Believe me, if I were a slacker it would be my pleasuee to hang out here with these pleasant, hard-working, dedicated people, but I have to get well and return to work so I do NOT end up in the system. I have a life, Bills to pay and people to help. Will someone please GET ME OUT OF HERE before I develop bedsores, adhesions and hospital-acquired infections that can be deadly?

Before going on this website I dialed "0" with an effort to get the phone # for an Hospitalist. When I CALLED the # I was given Brad, who took all my information then told me I would have to pay to use his service. That's when I finally decided I NEED to get out of here; and I am not leaving AMA because.....if I get sick afterwards, that could be used against me. I feel like a well-fed caged animal, but I NEED to go to the rehab and go on with My life. HELP ME PLEASE!
