St Josephs Med Center Of Stockton: "This hospital tried to murder me Oct 1 -14th 2020. After an anonymous caller sent emergency services to my house where police broke my door off. the ambulance report states they found me breathing normally, and when i woke up surrounded by people, i freaked out and tried to run past them to my door, they rput me in gurney and restrained me. took me into hospital because whoever called told them i overdosed on "something". after sitting in gurney in restraints for an hour they decided to sedate and intubate me to protect my airways because they said i was in a coma, even tthough i was brought into ER in restraints, and even though the ambulance report stated i had no issues breathing, and my blood oxygen level was 99% on room air. so they gave me the max amount of fentanyl 300mcg(normal is 50) and maxxed me out on propofol which put me on venthilator in ICU. they proceeded to dose me with fentanyl the next few days with a plethrea of other drugs (precedex, midazolam, the list is long). they called my mom the morning after they maxxed me on fentanyl and propofol asking her what i took. they did a blood test on me when i arrived and the lab results were largely unremarkable, and my final diagnosis when i was released didnt say drug overdose at all because i wasnt overdosed on anything. however my medical recordws showed i overdosed on day 8 and 10 from the drugs they gave me while in ICU. they never followed up after my mom got me out of there on day 14. she took me home and i woke up the next day 50lbs lighter and dirty. they kept me in restraints the whole 14 days as well and didnt bathe me att all. i didnt find out what they did to me until i got my medical records 2 years later because when id ask for them theyd give me a runaround or wrong log in info. instead of letting my mom advocate for me (they called her day 1 i was in there) they wrote i was homeless on my medical records and had a social workers advocating for me... when i asked why they gave me the fentanyl and propofol etc their quality analyst said shed ask claims dept. i called claims dept they never heard from her. she wrote me back sorry i meant LEGAL claims. where their legal claims person told me to not contact the hospital about the situation anymore. so much for transparency. the social worker that spoke with one of my doctors that was taking care of me in ICU wrote that the doctor stated he believed i had been oversedation and my medications were mismanaged. and that my mental state was caused by the medications they were mismanaging . i took them to small claims court because lawyers wouldnt take case due to statute ofl imitation. in court they denied responsibility and their only defense was "its too late for him to sue". horrible hospital " - michael
