Hoboken University Medical Center Takes Your Belongings Away From You

Hello! The only time I have been in the Hoboken Medical Center was when I was born and it was a Catholic hospital called St. Marys.

A friend of the family, an older gentleman, admitted himself for having trouble breathing on Tuesday and he is still there suffering and they will not let him out. He said they took all of his belongings away from him including his inhaler and went through his wallet, taking numbers down off his bank card and credit card and was told he would get it back when released.

In his own words on FB:

I had to PLEAD for nitroglycerin and aspirin even though it's on my formulary This is a FUCKING NIGHTMARE. THEY ARE ACTUALLY KILLING ME!

This hospital stay has been an absolute fucking nightmare. I've have met 4 competent people here,and one of them was a maintenance guy. My attending Doctor did not answer pages,phone calls or texts from the ER staff ( and it wasn't about me). When he did finally show up ( He told me when we spoke on the phone that he would be there by 8 AM. He shows up at 5:30, spent 5 minutes with me and didn't do a fucking thing. I will NEVER go to this shit hole of a hospital ever again. The healthcare in Hudson County hospitals sucks. ( BTW the attending physician who ignored all the texts,calls and pages managed to talk to me about the Knicks for the 5 minutes he was here.Unfuckingbelieveable

I went online and I see a lot of bad reviews. Funny they changed the name of the hospital to sound more swanky or contemporary for the yuppies and their families but the service sounds like an average ghetto county hospital.
