If you need any sort of help from the er, dont bother going here. The staff is rude and their help is subpar. They dont bother to really do their job and instead they try to get you in and out as quick as possible so they can get paid to do their "job". Especially when it was found out that I was self injuring while in the ER trying to cope with a really bad side effect, they didnt take my razor away. And self injuring is also a way for me to ask for help because Im not very good at vocalizing my needs in regards to getting help. So I kept doing it in secret because apparently thats how vigilant they are at watching their patients. One staff member in particular, an asian man who wears round glasses? Avoid him. He cares nothing about patients. He is rude and arrogant and he will give you an attitude instead of treating you like a human being that needs help. I was told by my psychiatrist that if I ever needed refills on my meds and if the mental health office is not open, to go to the ER to obtain a prescription. I went there after I had gone there for a different problem and then went back because I had forgotten to mention I needed a refill. And this man treated me like I was garbage and told me I had already been discharged and to leave all the while knowing I was going through withdrawal from my medication. So again if you go here? Dont expect any kind of real help. The security guard there also told me to self injure outside instead of notifying staff that I was self harming. So basically, go outside so we dont have to deal with you is the message I was given. So go to a different hospital instead because no one in need of medical help deserves to be treated like a subhuman and less than they are.

@Dr Elvis Alfonso... When will you admit you assaulted me? You turned off my epidural without permission, forced me to push, and verbally, physically, and sexually assaulted me (forced pelvic exam) while I was giving birth to my son at Parrish Medical Center in 2008. Your insistence that turning off the epidural to help with pushing is false. In 2010 while I was giving birth to my daughter at Parrish I demanded that my epidural be kept on during the entire process as is my right. I had no difficulty with pushing. In fact, the birth process went much smoother due to the fact that I wasnt in pain. Not only did you assault me, but you also lied about it on my medical records and to DCF, which led to me losing custody of my son. While it is true that his paternal grandparents have adopted him, the fact remains that your treatment of me during his birth is what led to me not being able to care for him properly. My daughter is old enough now to understand the difference between what happened when she was born and what happened when her brother was born. She knows that the fact that you assaulted me during the birth of my son is why I have been able to raise her but not her brother. It is for them that I will not let this rest. Women have rights during pregnancy and childbirth. We have the right to pain relief. We have the right to not be abused in any way. We have the right to decide if we want interventions or not. Our rights come before the opinions of the doctors and nurses. Indeed, they come before the rights of the unborn child.

Apart from one little troll of a nurse not listening to me when they were having problems drawing blood,they called her,like she was some kind of expert,she did not listen to me and hit a tendon in my arm ,the pain was sharp and severe,she proceeds to announce at the top of her voice that I was a difficult and uncooperative person,as she ran back to her computer,my impression of this gimpy little troll was of a supervisor that forgot that she was once a nurse,hurtful and insensitive little troll,I belive in the power of the word and I do not write nasty things on a whim,but to be publicly humiliated ,she did not close the cubicles curtain and their was about 7 or 8 people able to hear her verbal assault on me,when she tried to get blood I didnt even speak ,except to attempt to tell her about the tendon not being a vein,she did not listen,and I didnt try to pull away or anything,i tensed up with pain,thats not being a difficult person, people like her should not be allowed to work with sick people,I am young and in good health,I can only imagine what she would be like dealing with elderly sick people,I would like to think that the way she treated me was a one off,but I feel thus person should get out of the health care profession,lol thats an oxymoron of the highest,any way everyone else in the hospital were amazing, truly caring,professional, and are some of the best Heathcare professionals I have ever had the pleasure of being diagnosed and treated by,its just a shame the troll dims their bright star,

Recently, a family member was admitted to Flushing hospitals care. The tidbits of racism and lack of assistance only encourage me to continue writing this review. What I found interesting is the fact that the resident attending the patient told me that an examination procedure could not be performed until Tuesday 2/17/2014 due to the holidays. I wasnt aware that doctors observed Presidents day. He looked perplexed when I said that I wanted the least invasive procedure done to the patient. I only say this because usually at sub par hospitals, they employ cost-effective methods. I also say this due to complications that may arise from certain techniques of administering anesthesia in the elderly. Not too sure if Flushing hospital had stellar reviews for their exemplary service and professionalism. Absolutely, positive about the pompous, god complex, condescending behavior from one nurse and some white coat Asian lady, who apparently is too busy to help a family member of a patient to pretend to work fervently at the computer. Personally, I would have gone to North Shore, yea some residents there are arrogant also but the facility is cleaner and simply put, its a better hospital. In conclusions, its sad how some of these individuals chose to have a career in medicine. I remember doctors and nurse, who became doctors and nurses to help and provide to those in need because they cared. Now its all about status to inflate arrogance, job security, and your HMO.

I had to go in for surgery. I was nervous and all the Nurses ,and staff made me feel very Comfortable. My Doctor is awesome. I went to recovery waited for a room but to no avail so I requested to stay in recovery. The best thing I did. If I needed anything they were there. In the morning they helped me get ready to discharge which was the easiest and fastest of anytime. Just so everyone understands this is a Hospital not a Hotel and I am tired of listening to people complaining of everything that is bad in a hospital. Doctors, Nurses, and staff work hard and tireless for whoever needs. So when anyone complains they should think twice. Be nice, understand, and respect those who help and take care of you. Remember treat others as you would like to be treated. RESPECT WELL now I am not happy. My niece went to hospital to have the baby and I called they gave me a hard time and said to call her cell phone... WOW I didnt know she can make and receive calls while in labor or in while maybe pushing Amazing They are so much nicer in other Hospitals like LIJ and Queens Med Center Previously Booth Memorial
