I feel really bad to must to comment in here today. Because the most of the doctors and nurses of that hospital plus clinic they do their best to help us patients plus to try to make them the most confortable possible. On June 2013 I had an apendicitis surgery and I was admited to the hospital all the nurses were amazingly good to me. Very into their jobs. Cheking on me periodically plus being extra nice trying to make me confortable asking me if a needed anything. There was a nurse named Julia apparently from Portuguese backgrond, since the begining she was not very nice to me. She was treating me in a very rude manner since the begining when I did ask for a pill to sleep when I told her that I have fibromyalgia for that I need the pill to sleep Julia just was lauging of me and she did not gave me the pill to sleep for that I keep bothering her to get that pill and I never got it the next day she told the nurses that I was a pain in the ass the all night but she did not explained to them the reason I was a pain in the ass. The last day of my stay at that place the doctor told me in the morning that he needed to know that my nausea was away in order to discharge me. He said wait until 6pm. At 6 pm I ask the nurses to call the dr to ask them if I can go home or not because they were changing shifts nobody listen to me. Finally a nurse told me I had to stay one more night because the doctor left and he did not discharged me. Julia(nurse in charge of checking on me the night before was arriving and she got upset because I was to spend another night at the hospital and maybe she had to take care of me that night) she took vomit from another patiente in a jar and emptied it all around the toilett on the floor when she saw me getting up to go to the restroom. I steped over the vomit that was smelling like hell and she left laughing. I tought that she did that to make me leave the hospital that night. Imagine me still with nausea trying to make a big effort to make the nausea from the surgery away and she doing that to me. I almost vomited again. When another nurse call the doctor he came and trying to cover Julia for what she did to me he just discharge me but before that incident no doctor showed up to discharge me even if I called them many times. That is insane how a bad nurse can make the life of a disabled patient miserable in that hospital but I am most surprised how supervisors help that bad nurses to cover it. That night I did asked to talk to a supervisor and she/he never showed up Firstable they should not discharged me because I was still with nausea from the surgery and second I feel bad because the good and fine job that the Phillipino and latino nurses do there with us and that bad apples spoiled all thet good job. By the way I am latina and I feel shame for them regarding treating patients. Of course they have a due date to complaint but sick people is busy recovering without time for complaints. I strongly believe in karma. one way or another life is going to make them pay.

I was taking a shower and a splash of water hit my right open eye, the following day I had a spot in it and I was not able to see trough it, I went to my doctor very concern because I am a diabetic, my doctor immediately sent me to the San Francisco General Hospital. when I got to the hospital the only thing wrong with my eye was that I had the spot and I was not able to see trough it, and that was all!!.. This young doctor took me in to his office and started to puck my eye with Q’ tips, but the time I came out of his office my eye was all red, it hurt very badly and it felt like it was going to pop out of my face, this was on a Friday, they told me to go back to the hospital on Monday at 8 a. m. because they were going to operate on my eye, On Saturday the pain was so bad I decided to put some ice in a plastic bag and put it on my eye, I left the ice on it for about twenty minutes, when I took the ice away the spot and the inflammation was gone and I was able to see perfectly but red because of all the blood on my eye, because of what that doctor did to me. On Monday I went to the hospital as scheduled and the first thing that I did was tell that doctor that the spot was gone and that I was able to see perfectly, but they took me in any way and put me under anesthesia, when I awoke I was so sick, vomiting and with diarrhea, it feel like I had hepatitis and a lady doctor told me that they had not done the operation because it look like my eye was healing on his own, but by then it was all red, it hurt badly again and I was not able to see out of it, they made me wait a month but my vision never came back, they operated, they put a bubble on my eye, the bubble went away but my vision never came back, I lost my eye, all I see is cloudiness and light reflections. This people made me half way blind and for this they charged all together about 40.000.oo dollars to Medicare. I want for the San Francisco General Hospital to return the money that they scam from Medicare. My San Francisco General Hospital card Number is: MRN 00614926. My friend Ron and I live together, he knows that I had no more problems with my eye when I went to the Hospital. I was happy and commented with him that I was able to see and that I no longer had any problems. I think that these doctors have some type of quota that they have to fill with the hospital and probably they get some type of commission, so if you have insurance best be very careful, because they are thief’s and they will do anything to scam money from your insurance, do not trust these people and may the good lord put them in hell where they belong. Thank you so much!!.. Fabio A. Pabon.

Giving this hospital a one star rating is being very generous. This is a prime example of what happens when a system gets too big. My doctor had been prescribing MScontin for pain management of my severely arthritic hip. Before the replacement surgery I made a list of all medications I was taking at home. So far, so good right WRONG. I received none of the prescribed meds my primary M.D. had written. That in itself would have been tolerable except for the MScontin, which is a time released morphine, I had been taking the MScontin for approximately 8 months, so I was dependant. None of the nurses took the time to listen to me as now Im going into withdrawal. It.was the worst situation EVER. Nausea,vomiting,headache and flu like symptoms occurred. Not to mention I ate nothing for 3days. The nursing staff didnt give a damm, I think they thought I was a druggie looking to get high. They actually told me all my symptoms were because of my surgery, one even told me my home prescriptions were not the problem, that I needed TUMS and anti nausea meds. Let me tell you going through t h e hip surgery was bad enough and now Im going through withdrawal on top of it. I got to the point of just wanting to die. There was a steady stream of nurses,social workers,and others coming in and out for 3days. I finally had to email my primary doctor to let him know that these people were killing me. Finally a pain management expert came to see me and IMMEDIATELY knew the problem. I told him I had wished he had a come sooner, but this was the first he was told about it. Within a few hours I started started feeling normal again. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO SFGH FOR ANYTHING EVER,ONLY CLINIC APPOINTMENTS. There are a lot of other hospitals in this city,PLEASE USE THEM STAY AWAY FROM SFGH.NEVER AGAIN,NEVER AGAIN,NEVER AGAIN.
