TransFemales experience.. I was brought into the mental facility for stating I was "Homocidal and Suicidal" as a ploy to try and get away from my parents, I understand that was a bad idea, however these people will treat you not as a person, they believed nothing I had to say and diagnosed me schizophrenic after a pathetic 6 days of "Treatment" they will put you on ANY random drugs back to back as fast as they can, they took my Klonopin away and I was forced through withdraw and I was also subjected to medications that caused horrible unnerving side-effects, but since I am also a bit of a hypochondriac, they wouldnt believe anything I had to say, I was up until 7AM facing a side-effect to "Haldal" that caused my neck to get stuck and hurt, none of the nurses listened to me, I ended up walking around all night til they finally got the word from the doctor that it was a side-effect to the Haldal, then they finally gave me medication that took the side-effect away.. I also had a HORRIBLE reaction to Abilify, my heart rate dropped to 40-50 BPM and I proceeded to dry-heave and nearly fainted, my blood pressure was tested 80 - 60. The REAL doctor came in and told me Im one of the unlucky few that cannot take this medication and he wrote it off of my perscriptions. However the psychiatrist tried to tell me that he didnt know what he was talking about and that I just had a panic attack and proceeded to get angry at me after I refused to take the medication. Even to the point of discharge, they put me onto Risperdal for like 3 days, then quickly gave me a shot 2 hours before they discharged me, without my consent for it. I ended up being awake for over 40 hours after this happened and faced more horrible side effects confirmed by another doctor I saw after I left this hospital, I called Union to ask how long the shot has to wear off, and I just get bombarded by "ITS YOUR CONDITION, YOU ALWAYS THING SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU." and they REFUSED to answer a simple question, I HIGHLY do NOT reccomend this hospital, unless you want to be treated as a rat and be subjected to torture, I literally think this was the worst experience of my life and I continue to go through with problems of people not letting me transition. 1 -Star, I literally felt like I was going to die a few nights due to horrible medication side-effects, and none of them would listen to my pleads for help, I dont know much about the actual physical field of the Hospital but after that bad reaction, the real doctor was the only friendly one other than 2-3 nurses, even the psychiatrist made a cocky statement to me about how shes been doing this for 4 years as if thats a long time for this kind of field.

My first visit to Union was great but my second visit was a joke so I am giving it 3/5 but maybe I should give it a 2/5 for my second visit. Anyways I was driven to Union by a family member. I am grabbing my chest, holding onto that railing going up to the ER check in area. Finally I manage to get myself to where the receptionist who was dazed out of her mind filing her nails asked "Can I help you?" Um lets see Im clearly grabbing my chest, teeth grinding, and my breathing is labored. Instead of immediately coming over to assist me the lady casually walks over to her chair and says she just needs to ask me a few questions,. Um HELLO can you assist me with a wheelchair or get a nurse or somebody ASAP to help me. If I fall on my face I wont be able to answer your questions. They sit me in wheelchair and then its time for a huge questionnaire. Hey how about checking my vitals at the very least? Anyways so I finally get this room off in the corner because it was an anxiety related incident. From that point forward I felt like a 2nd class citizen at the hospital. The nurses themselves were the only saving grace of my stay. They were extremely polite and warm and got me whatever I needed. But the whole ER receptionist area needs to be dealt with. Damn if someone is having a heart attack I couldnt imagine what the hell would have happened or what that poor patient would be thinking.

HORRIBLE! Urgent care was the worst. I was treated like I was intruding. I was in severe pain and I can tolerate a high level of pain, so you know I was in agony. The nurse assigned to me was named Jessica, who did not lift a finger to help me get from the wheelchair to the stretcher. She had me take a urine specimen in which she told my 14 year old son to take it from the bathroom to the my emergency cubical. She was mean during the question and answer time, leading my son to question whether she was capable of giving me the appropriate care. She didnt seem to want to be there. Since it was !:00 in the morning, my husband had fallen asleep and I heard Jessica and the attending physician making fun of my husband sleeping (he had put in 12 hours of work prior to bringing me to the E.R.). After being given my test results which were uneventful, Jessica quickly left the cubical. She did NOT help me up off the stretcher or even ask if she should do anything to help. I almost fell off the stretcher trying to get off because of the severe pain I was in. I had to put my shoes on by myself and walk out with not as much as offering to get me a wheelchair. Jessica is a poor excuse for a nurse. Union Hospital should stay from employees of this low caliber. I will NEVER again be a patient of this hospital and neither will my family members.

I had a baby here back in 2008 the nurses kept telling me I wasnt in labor ...they yelled at me when I scream from contractions that were so bad I shook at the bone ..I noticed every time I had a contraction the babys heart dropped they told me it wasnt nothing to worry about ...then they told me to use the bathroom I thought I had to poop ..here I almost had my son on the toilet the nurses yelled at me as they helped carry me to the bed until they realized I wasnt over reacting and when I had him the embilical cord was strangling my son to the point he was blue and not breathing ...o might I add I wasnt in the delivery room ...I didnt get one of those until I was cleaned up and after I had the baby...the nurses tried to apologize... I was so pissed off for how I was treated Ill never go there again..and havent since then

The doctor is amazing the nurse too especially I like Abby, Linda one guy named James they are nice but one woman shes nasty I have surgery there so I couldnt get up I had my sister with me I couldnt get up but this nurse she didnt want to help me and she told me to get up by myself and told my sister not to help me. I had 19 stitches so how can you tell me to get up? Shes lucky I was ill so teach her how to treat people like this woman your not supposed to let her be a nurse. Suppose she works in jail.
