My mom came by ambulance here at 3 am last spring because she passed out from abdominal pain. She was in the ER and a surgeon came down and said the best place for her to be was UMC due to chronic liver and lung issues she has and started the process to transfer her. (In the meantime an OBGYN saw her and said he was 60% sure it was an issue with her reproductive system given the area of the pain). The CEO and some Chief Doctor intervened, saying they have excellent doctors at Summerlin and she did not need to be transferred. They determined she has internal bleeding and they call an OBGYN specialist in from...UMC!! Then, an Internist Doc shows up and says he wants to do a procedure...my mom knows she is ineligible for the procedure he is recommending because it would blow up her lungs and heart and she questions him about it and HE DID NOT REALIZE SHE HAD THIS CHRONIC LUNG ISSUE because apparently he cannot read a medical chart outside a patient's room. He then says she needs a heart, liver, and lung transplant due to her chronic issues as they are causing the bleed. My mom sees doctors at UCSD for her lung and liver issues and at this point we get them involved because this is the first time we hear that she needs the liver, heart and lung transplant so naturally we are upset. This guy tells me I should not be upset and "need to be strong" (mind you I was woken up in the middle of the night with a phone call that my mom was on the way to the ER and it was now 7 p.m....I was going on 3 hours of sleep in a 48 hour period and my mom was ill and they did not know why). I told that guy to shuffle off to buffalo. The next day her doctors are notified and THEY WANT HER TO LEAVE THIS HOSPITAL BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED THIS PLACE WOULD HARM HER MORE THAN HELP HER. This took time due to paperwork and in the mean time another doctor tried to stop the bleeding via a procedure and butchered her neck and then realized he needed another tool they had to order from a third-party outside the hospital so he stopped the procedure. Another day goes by and she is transferred to UCSD. Turns out she had a congenital birth defect on an ovary that was fixed by a minor procedure...The egos of people at this hospital jeopardized my mom's health...if you have chronic conditions be careful here.
