My
experience
at
this
hospital
was
less
Then
pleasant.
I
came
in
hoping
that
it
was
just
minor
chest
pains
that
i
was
having.
Called
the
ambulance
and
told
them
that
i
wanted
to
go
to
New
York
Presbyterian
Hospital(
considering
that
i
was
6
months
pregnant)
they
stated
that
they
didnt
want
to
risk
it
because
I
was
complaining
of
severe
chest
pains
and
it
was
too
far
of
a
commute.
So
the
EMT
Workers
were
helpful
in
assisting
me
in
the
ER.
Upon
arrival,
on
Wednesday
December
28,
2023,
I
had
to
wait
about
30-40
minutes
just
to
get
checked
in
and
looked
at.
The
nurse
checked
my
vital
signs
and
everything
was
sky
high.
My
pressure
kept
going
up
from
195
to
202
and
from
202
to
219.
The
nurse
kept
saying
that
the
machine
was
broken
because
it
was
giving
different
numbers.
(
come
to
find
out,
I
was
suffering
from
severe
Preclampsia)
once
the
doctor
saw
me
they
rushed
me
to
a
room
on
a
stretcher
and/or
bed
and
started
checking
my
vital
signs
again
and
said
that
they
werent
sure
what
it
was
that
was
causing
my
pressure
to
go
up
More
but
that
they
were
going
to
monitor
me
through
medication
(
tylenol,
ibuprofen,
Iv
drip).
Some
of
the
nurses
like:
Norma,
Silvany,
Sue
Lee,
Rhona,
and
two
others
and
Dr.
Balasz
were
truly
amazing
and
showed
grace
and
empathy
towards
me
during
that
rough
transition)
But
then
nurses
like
Emily,
anesthesiologist
Gugh,
Doreen
Brown
and
Dr.
Paris
Thomas
were
mean
mannered
and
lacked
a
moral
compass
and
proper
etiquette
(
beware
of
those
names).
I
ended
up
staying
there
for
10
Days
and
was
discharged
on
January
6,
2024.
I
had
fallen
right
after
having
the
C-
section
and
my
legs
were
completely
numb
and
I
told
them
that
I
didn't
want
to
deliver
at
this
hospital,
I
made
that
crystal
clear
a
few
times.
My
plan
was
to
stay
there
until
I
was
32
weeks
and
be
transferred
to
my
designated
hospital
at
New
York
Presbyterian
in
Manhattan.
But
I
felt
that
they
purposely
kept
my
pressure
high
only
to
force
me
to
have
the
baby
there
because
they
stated
that
I
would’ve
died.
(
which
was
a
lie
because
after
my
incision
ripped
a
week
after
leaving
st.
Barnabas
I
went
to
New
York
Presbyterian
and
told
that
they
could've
used
different
techniques
and
that
an
emergency
C-section
should've
been
the
last
resort)my
baby
girl
came
out
very
small
and
after
i
finally
woke
up
from
the
anesthesia.
For
two
days
i
wasn't
able
to
move
around
because
my
throat
was
sore
and
my
body
was
numb.
So
i
saw
her
on
Wednesday
and
her
face
was
covered
up
and
she
had
a
UV
light
in
her
incubator.
I
was
suffering
even
after
having
her
and
the
mid
wife
was
more
concerned
about
kicking
me
out
the
hospital
versus
understanding
that
I
underwent
a
life
altering
procedure
and
that
i
was
still
susceptible
to
possibly
having
a
blood
clot,
seizure
or
dying.
The
room
I
was
in
I
complained
numerous
times
that
I
couldn't
breathe
and
that
i
needed
my
asthma
pump.
They
kept
me
in
that
room
up
until
Friday.
(
i
had
to
keep
complaining
about
the
air
and
that
the
room
was
stuffy)
I
had
panic
attacks
and
asthma
attack’s
because
of
it.
Then
when
i
went
to
see
my
baby
she
had
a
scratch
in
her
eye
and
on
her
nose
and
when
i
asked
about
it
in
the
NICU,
no
one
knew
how
she
had
it.
(
she
is
only
a
few
days
old).
I
Never,
Ever
wanted
my
baby
to
be
born
there
and
the
services
i
received
there
wasnt
the
best
at
all.
Aot
of
my
concerns
were
brushed
off
or
ended
in
someone
having
an
attitude
about
it.
Versus
my
experience
now
in
New
York
Presbyterian,
they
were
welcoming
and
friendly
from
the
moment
I
entered
into
the
facility.
I
appreciate
the
good
doctors
and
nurses
who
made
my
stay
manageable
while
at
St.
barnabas,
Because
of
them
I
am
alive
and
ok
and
so
is
my
baby.
But
alot
needs
to
be
re-
evaluated
with
this
hospital.
It
has
potential
to
be
better
with
the
right
people.
These
types
of
jobs
you
must
love
what
you
do
and
have
compassion
and
empathy
while
providing
those
services
for
people
who
are
depending
on
you
for
proper
care.
