Washington Hospital: "My son was transported via ambulance to Washington Hospital on 3/5/2022, I was allowed to see him about 1 after he was admitted. The room he was placed is is like a jail cell a gurney for a bed no heart monitoring equipment , no buzzer if patient is in distress - nothing less than a jail cell.
They put a mask on his face the mask was in his left eye lid .. when I saw him in pain I ask the nurse why he is not hooked up on a heart monitor I was told because he came in with stomach problems. No pain meds mind you he is in excruciating pain. I advocate for him and a white nurse was annoyed with me for asking questions. Veryrude and obnoxious. These patients come in and are at the mercy of the healthcare system - each individual and family member should and must be treated with dignity respect for human life . They all sit around engaging in personal happy talk to eave other patient are left in pain and unattended to. This must not be in NO hospital in this country we call America. I am appalled and disgusted how I was treated and my son also on countless others who have experienced such behavior or unjust treatment by this Hospital.
This is the Bay area one of the most highest taxed area and much need to be said about patient treatment at this facility. I can go on and on but I stop here for now.
