Florida Hospital North Pinellas Stories

Florida Hospital North Pinellas: "The long story short is that my partner was treated with abuse, cruelty and negligence during his stay at this horrible hospital. I received conflicting information and outright lies while advocating for him. I have shared my experience with the BBB and on social media so that others may be forewarned that patient profiling occurs here, nurses disobey doctor's orders, and patients who are profiled are not treated with dignity or respect. The incredibly rude director of risk management claims they will improve patient hygiene, communication among the staff and PICC team. Nice if it happens for future patients but I would never recommend this hospital." - Lisa
