Business ProfileforSarasota Memorial Hospital

I fractured my hip on the day that hurricane ****** made landfall on the west coast of ******** specifically ****** *******. I was taken to Sarasota Memorial Hospital, at approximately 2:00 a.m. in the morning. This is where the story becomes very distorted, as I was told that I had reparative surgery on my hip. I was then transferred at that morning to ************* Hospital about an hour and a half north of my location. I was transported in a van type ambulance, no one seated in the back of the vehicle with me, and while I was hollering out to the drivers where they were taking me, I did not receive a response. It was an horrific experience. Not only was it a horrible experience, nobody informed me nor my husband about why I was being transferred or even when I was transferred to Tampa Hospital from Sarasota Memorial Hospital. After arriving at ***** Hospital, and being there about 2 days, I was then transferred back to Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Please understand that none of these incidents the transportation, the operation, the reasoning why I was transferred back and forth, the lack of communication with my husband and immediate family; none of the aforementioned occurred. When I got back to Sarasota Memorial Hospital, I was visited by my surgeon/doctor Dr ******** and a doctor ********** the latter allegedly on the board of Sarasota Memorial Hospital. My doctor ******* was in total shock when he learned that his patient, me, was was transferred without his knowledge or without reasoning. Dr ********** for his part, was totally apologetic as to what happened to me, and actually use the quote, quotes you must have fallen through the cracks, end of quote. No further explanation was offered by Dr ********** I am now at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, October 18th 2024, and now the staff is insisting that my stay ends today, that my ******** coverage has expired, and I can't even understand what the heck they are talking about. ******** does not expire.
