My grandmother was there a long time, suffering of various little things, and sometime cause a bit of a pain-in-the-neck, but hey, its your job.
One day, it was visibly and obvious that her situation is becoming better by the minute, thanks to G-d, and now she was able to get the nurses to answer some questions, while two of her daughters were there and witnessed all...
A nurse comes in and asks the daughters to leave the room, while she needs to give care to patient... 2 minutes later, the nurse rushes out and shouting for help, my grandmother was put back on the respirator.
The story was that the nurse injected her with SOMETHING and my grandmother was put back on the respirator so she shall remain shut down longer, unable to talk. The daughters were horrified!
One day later she died... the respirator was unplugged, by mistake!
"Share Your Experiences of Your Stay At Maimonidies"
Lately, I’ve been hearing scary stories about our local hospital. I’m referring to our ‘heimishe’ hospital "Maimonidies Medical Center" who receives the highest ratings in care, etc. from all those who rate hospitals (I know they pay a lot of money for these ratings).
I also listen to MMC ads where they pride themselves on being the very best, and having the best quality care. When I hear these ads, I get mad at myself for not doing something about it! We should be just the opposite! We should have the best care in the country without paying for false ratings! People think that they're doing a sick person a favor by getting him/her into a local, top rated hospital, just because it's run by heimishe people! WRONG! Why should a heimishe person take his close relative into a hospital that is run by heimishe people, and get a phone call that he is dead, when he went into the hospital for a minor surgery? Ok, mistakes could happen, and I thought I was a single unlucky person, the time came, hashem wanted back his neshama! But I told my friend this story and he told me an even scarier story! I was horrified! Since then I'm hearing stories all the time! A close relative of mine was in maimonides for a week getting treatment for an unknown problem! After a week he was transfered to a different hospital and was out in less than 24 hours! They took an x-ray, found the problem, treated it, and he was back on his feet in no time! I guess the hospital make more money if the patient is in the hospital for a longer time! The longer the better!
Isn't somone ignoring our problems and minding his money? Aren't we being laughed at? Don't we deserve better from our own comunity? How many people could have still been alive if we had not kept our stories a secret?
Anyone out there have any ‘wonderful’ stories or anyone interested in bringing a class-action suit? If you have any stories that you think would interest the public please feel free to add a coment!! You can't keep such stories to yourself and not do anything about it!!!
