Suburban Hospital Stories

Suburban Hospital: "I am a retired RN, BSN and have never received such poor care in my life. I am shocked!
I was treated so poorly by each and every physician that I was compelled to leave this review. My husband was also treated with disdain and dismissed outright and told to wait outside even though I was having a great deal of difficulty giving pertinent information due to difficulty breathing.
I was dismissed as having “ simple asthma” prior to sputum cultures returning, which upon receipt showed pneumonia with MRSA.
It goes without saying I will never, ever seek treatment again at Suburban hospital and I have a big mouth so I will continue telling everyone I know not to so the this awful institution.
