NYC Health Hospitals

Am currently at Woodhull hospital. I was showering with hot water and The steam from the shower triggered a fire alarm. Shelter staff called 911 and claimed I was 'irrational' to force a psychiatric evaluation. I am not a danger to myself or others. I am fully oriented. I just started a new job with the Sanitation Department and I need to be discharged so I can report for my shift. NYC Administrative Code § 8-107(7) – The NYC Human Rights Law explicitly prohibits retaliation against anyone who opposed unlawful discriminatory practices or filed a complaint. As i was being interviewed at Psychiatric triage I could not stop looking at the nurses cataracts. We expect medical professionals to be paragons of health. When they show signs of physical decline, it can feel jarring or even hypocritical. It can shake our trust, making us think, "If you can't take care of yourself, how can you take care of me? As she walked back and forth i noticed Genu Varum. I am hopeful with the advancements in technology, we the new scientists and researchers can help people who have given so much. She looked tired, I don’t blame her for being condescending. I tried to make her job as easy as possible by referring her to mychart. But that just seemed to annoy her. By now I have already memorized the Psych questionnaire. Are you in any pain? are you having thoughts of hurting your self or others. The ordeal lasted 5 hours. I was asked i was doing any drugs and I said no and that i was willing to take a Toxicology. One of the nurses said that the blood test could be wrong?? LOL LOL Then she said I could be paranoid? detained in a Psych ward I chose the path of least resistance. Im going to file a Foil request anyway because the whole ordeal was funny and i think it would be a good skit. The only thing that can Save New Yorkers is AGI. More Tech, transcription, revising protocols. 3 Patients soiled themselves while I was there, no one thought to call a Janitor. There was one catatonic by a wall completely covered in soot. I wondered if the risk for cross contamination was greater than allowing patients to keep their shoes on.

Midwife Hanna Lauftin !!!!!! Midwife Hanna Lauftin !!!!!! Woodhull Medical Center truly has something special in this midwife. She is hands down the best midwife I have ever encountered in my life. This woman is beyond capable — I honestly feel like she could deliver every baby in the entire hospital by herself. I wish there were 500 of her. My first encounter with her felt almost like a mystical experience. She brought such peace, confidence, and skill into the room. Everything went smoothly for both mom and baby, and her presence made all the difference. People may have their opinions about the hospital, but this midwife is the absolute best thing about Woodhull. I trust her deeply, appreciate her wholeheartedly, and I already know that when it’s time for my next child, she will be my provider again.

This hospital was recommended to me to treat my pregnancy. Being a new resident and knowing little what to expect about medical care in the US, they didn't disappoint. The staff and the service offered have been all in all excellent. I want to highlight the staff during my delivery, the care and consideration was unmatched. I feel grateful for being in such professional hands, during and after pregnancy.

I went today as a dental emergency patient to ER- I had a very pleasant experience. As someone who worked in the medical field- and is a very good judge of people’s character - all personnel, all front desks, all nurses, and doctors were more than pleasant- I did not feel any discomfort at any point. They were really diligently performing their work, and they really cared- As a Parent- I visited many hospitals, but was never treated with a such a respect and care! I hope this was being read by the Management, Doctors, Nurses and all of the Employees. The Security that also made an extra step to show me the directions. I truly so far had one of the best hospital’s visits, ever! The Management must be having a great Employees training, probably sensitivity and emphasizing- kindness that we miss in this World- especially as patients- we look up to you! Thank you With all my Heart- please don’t change! Peace Reverend Lena

Everyone was very professional, respectful, caring, and above all very attentive to what was needed at the time. Adding to the above facility, rooms, and restrooms are very clean I recommend this place to family members and friends. Also I want to give thanks to all surgeons, physicians, nursing staff, and other staff members for being helpful, attentive, and explained the matters well detailed to be understood. Our experience at Woodhull Hospital was of excellence.
