Sarasota Memorial Hospital - Venice: "I was at SMH Venice from 230 Sat to Monday 03/02/0006 The first Day I was treated ok but after my wife on Sunday at 230 and the things changed- They moved me to other side of 5th floor.-Before this room change I was treated like a Human I could walk around room ,use the Bathroom with the Door close. At Room 5009 they locked the rails on the Bed up, put pads on rails-when I had to go to the bathroom a Nurse sat 2 feet away- I had a big bowel movement and was using wet wipes when WAM I was slammed into wall and pinned there while Nurse/LPN wiped and then RAPED me using her fingers or something else- my shoulder is still bruised and my ANUS still throbs, I notified my 2 SMH Doctors nothing, called patient advocate nothing, customer care nothing Elder Abuse over 65 noting, went Venice Police but from the shit attitude of the Desk Officer nothing will happen. I would rather die than go to a SMH Facility Going to tell everyone I meet about this and put up signs WARNING ABOUT SMH. THEY SUCK" - William
