Ohsu Hospital And Clinics: "I was sent to OHSU following a motorcycle accidenton 6/1/23. I sat on a gurney in a hallway for several hours, spoke briefly with one overworked intern, they drew blood, then I was discharged. There was no physical examination, no diagnostic work up, no observation, the blood test was for alcohol even though there was no alcohol involved and the accident was over eight hours earlier. They missed a tibial plateau fracture that should have had immediate surgery, and a significant neck sprain. They billed me over $20,000 for "activation of a tramua team" among other services that were simply not there. When I filed a grievance for the last of the bills, and submitted the subsequent MRI showing clearly the knee fracture, the letter I got back stated that the fracture must have happened in the 10 days between the ER visit and the MRI This was of course physically impossible as I couldn't really walk and was recovering from the other injuries from the motorcycle accident. Now I am looking at significant arthritis in my neck and knee because of this poor care. " - David

Ohsu Hospital And Clinics: "Underwent a surgery at OHSU and contracted an infection there. Because of the infection the second surgery was performed and most powerful antibiotics prescribed. However, the infection is not mentioned anywhere on my record. The rationale for the second surgery and antibiotic treatment is merely omitted. This is because the number of infections contracted during a surgery is one of the characteristics on which most of the hospital's ratings are dependent. This is how OHSU manipulates its ratings.
