I’ve
been
here
twice
as
a
patient
and
my
mom
has
been
here
three
times.
This
review
is
based
on
my
recent
experience
with
my
mom
here
only.
We
have
had
comparatively
“better”
experiences
in
the
past
and
we
have
certainly
met
some
good
people
working
here
who
are
sincerely
trying
to
do
the
right
thing
in
the
context
of
an
utterly
broken
system,
but
I’m
not
writing
about
those
or
them
right
now.
I’m
writing
only
to
say
please
be
careful
when
you
go
to
this
hospital
(and
others).
Do
NOT
leave
your
loved
one
here
if
you
can
help
it.
My
advice
would
be
not
to
leave
them
regardless
of
what
any
nurses
or
other
staff
tell
you.
On
June
2,
2022,
I
waited
for
5.5
hours
with
my
mom
in
one
of
the
ER
rooms.
I
asked
two
of
the
nurses
if
it
would
be
okay
for
me
to
leave,
to
resolve
a
work-related
issue
that
arose
at
the
same
time
as
our
medical
emergency,
and
come
back.
I
was
told
“take
your
time”
and
that
I
could
come
back
any
time
to
be
with
my
mom.
I
specifically
double
checked
on
this
very
critical
point
due
to
past
experiences.
I
was
also
told
I
would
be
called
before
she
was
transferred
from
the
ER.
When
I
returned
two
hours
later,
much
to
my
chagrin,
she
was
in
isolation
on
another
floor,
as
a
“COVID
rule
out”
patient.
She
was
hooked
up
to
artificial
oxygen
(although
she
has
no
breathing
problems
just
normal
hospital-induced
anxiety),
and
I
was
not
permitted
to
enter
her
room
while
they
waited
for
“PCR
test
results”
which
I
was
told
would
take
between
48-72
hours.
The
results
came
back
within
24
hours
which
is
still
an
unacceptable
time
of
separation,
given
my
mom’s
various
urgent
needs,
many
of
which
can
only
get
fulfilled
at
home.
(39
daily
tasks)
After
that,
I
was
only
permitted
to
see
her
for
one
hour
per
day.
She
was
tied
down
in
her
bed
for
ten
days.
There
was
no
warning
given
in
advance
that
my
mom
would
be
separated
from
me
and
treated
this
way.
Unfortunately
I
am
sure
our
experience
was
better
than
many
others
as
my
mom
got
out
alive.
I
am
my
mother's
POA
and
Mt.
Sinai
has
the
POA
papers.
Please
exercise
caution
when
going
here,
only
do
so
as
a
last
resort,
and
I
hope
you
read
between
the
lines.
