Palomar Medical Center Escondido

They were showing Animal Chanel in the waiting room and those dogs on tv having babies were treated better than I was. Those dogs were made more comfortable than I was. Those dogs weren’t ignored like I was by passing stuff including nurses who looked like they are trained to no make eye contact with you so you don’t ask a question and even when they heard you they kept walking. After 8 hours of freezing ,and so many more details that I will keep to myself for not till I completely heal and can expose this place to public and more, in ER they released me. I have very good insurance and can only imagine how they may treat other people.

They killed my mother.nMy 83 year old mother had a stroke at the Oak Hill Residential Care, 612 Tranquility Glen 92027. They refused to call 911 or feed her any food or water for 5 days hoping that she would fade away and everything would seem normal and very natural. Not knowing what had happened to her my sisters kept informing the facility management that our mom has not been eating or drinking her favorite food nor has she been speaking to them. But they kept assuring my sisters that she is fine and has been eating and drinking as usual or that she had just finished eating just prior to their arrival. This went on for a few days until they spoke to me about her condition. I called the facility doctor who visits the facility once a week and FORCED him to go visit my mom the next day and he reluctantly accepted. I drove from L.A. and was there the next morning. But, by the time I arrived I received a call from my sister. She said the doctor call 911 after visiting mom and they were taken to the Palomar Medical Center.nnAt the Palomar her doctor confirmed that mom has had a stroke and not received any food or drinks for at least the last 5 days. As a result of that she had lost her kidney functions and is not able to see, to hear or to speak.nnShe was on the bed in the emergency room. When I walked in the room, she looked at me and tears ran down from the corner of her eyes. I asked if I could kiss her and she moved her head with difficulty to kiss me. So, she could both hear and see. Then I saw her urine bag and it was filling up. This meant that even though her kidneys may have damaged some but they were functioning. I pointed these signs to the doctors and they said her heart is also damaged and it is like a balloon that was filled with water. It was bigger and its muscles were weak. I told them that she has been living with that condition for the past 30 years. It was nothing new and she has been doing fine with it. Despite all that I pointed out they said that she is going to be sent to hospices after a few days. I disagreed but they sent her to the Escondido nursing where they also did not give her any food or water until she passed.nnShe was a fighter. Oh... She was a fighter. I guess the life of elderly and fragile is worthless anymore. Even the Escondido police did not pickup her case after initially being deprived of any food and water at the Oak Hill Residential Care for five days. I think it is more humane to have just shot her in the head and not let her suffer for 6 days. Oh... mom... Oh... my poor loving mom. My beautiful, loving mom. I cannot hold back my tears every time I think about her. I have to live with the pain of remembering how much my beautiful mom suffered until the day I join her.nnFor more information I may be reached via [email protected].

Phenomenal care!! Thank you Amy Lopez and the rest of the staff for taking amazing care of my wife. She was in and out within thirty minutes and she was comforted by all of the staff, after having a poor experience with an urgent care shortly before. Also, Palomar did an amazing job with my mother who had mrsa. They provided everything necessary to make her stay as low stress as possible. Thank you palomar!

My sister went to the stabilization unit after being admitted. They did a horrible job of diagnosing her. They said that they let her leave because whatever she could be on has to be out of her system. My sister has been missing 4 days now the way she was found and the way she acted after she left shows that she was not ready to leave. They didn't help or give her any medication. I'm disgusted with the level of experience the doctor had while evaluating my sister. You are responsible for human lives if you are not competent enough to perform you job then let someone else do it.

The doctor and the nurse who helped me were great. They were all very nice and catered to my needs. The doctor looked out for me when I had a pretty bad episode with asthma. They were overall nice people and went above and beyond to help me.
