Misdiagnosed and treated poorly to the degree I was bullied by doctors for advocating for myself to simply get my issue appropriately addressed. Hospital is unsafe in my opinion.

I have had some of the worst experiences in this hospital. I have been misdiagnosed, treated rudely with disrespect, and a lack of sensitivity that is appalling. Many mistakes have been made and the rooms were dirty with used medical supplies on the floor. The Hospitalist was poor, non-communicative, and arrogant. Before leaving, at the end of a week’s stay, he left a list of medications (never discussed with me) that included ones that I didn’t use/need and were not effective. He even substituted a regularly prescribed one. He left the hospital (didn’t answer his cell phone) so that I couldn’t even question his decisions. I told the pharmacy to cancel all but one (4 out of 5). My initial suggested diagnosis was never confirmed. I felt treated like an object. There were some pleasant, efficient nurses, though. I would never revisit this hospital, unless, perhaps, if I had my own approved private affiliated doctor that could oversee my care, making certain that I was treated professionally and safely. Since that is not the case, now, I would avoid Union Memorial, when possible, even in an emergency.
