Maimonides Medical Center Stories

Maimonides Medical Center: "RE: Dr. Borgen Cardiologists Maimonides Hospital.
This incompetent, poor excuse for a Doctor should NOT BE ALLOWED to perform Angiograms, be allowed to practice medicine, and should be banned from the medical profession. He nearly killed my husband, and when I asked what happened he states “I don’t know”. My husband went in for a simple Angiogram procedure and both of us were assured by him and several nurses that this was a safe, 1/2 hr to 45 minute procedure. He guaranteed both my husband and I that no complications will result from this procedure after speaking to him at length regarding my concerns. The procedure was performed at Maimonides Hospital (a despicable hospital that should close their doors), and because of his incompetency, my husband had a severe stoke and now has severe brain damage. PLEASE HEED MY WARNING AND STAY CLEAR OF THIS MAN WHO DESTROYED MY HUSBAND’S LIFE and the lives of his family members. My husband cannot feed himself, go to the bathroom or even dial a phone because of this Dr.
The anger and hatred I have for this man is beyond any persons comprehension and I know there’s a place in Hell for him. How do you sleep at night Borgen after you destroyed someones life? Are you enjoying your? I hope and pray you rot in Hell!" - S.
