Hospital are corrupt in America, but Bellevue has to be one of the worst.
It is awful what the staff there is allowed to do to people. They drug people against their will. Remove children from their parents. Keep immigrants for months on end. All to justify their own ignorance and inhumanity.
The staff admitted that they do not properly report incidents out of fear of retribution by higher ups.
Another staff member nonchalantly said, “If you don’t get all of your stuff back, just fill out a form and the hospital will cut you a check.”
I am sorry—what?! When I left, I was handed a paper bag and their clothing, one shoe and a broken phone and told that was all of my property. They have security cameras, it clearly was not what I entered the hospital with. The staff steal the property of patients by putting it into a pool of things and hoping that the patient just doesn’t question and accepts their deprivatity.
Patients who have been abused, molested and tortured are then reduced again to lies told by the staff to make money off of stealing their property.
They knew I was from another state. They took my son away from me and were attempting to immediately put him into the foster care system and up for adoption (human trafficking) while they did not care for me. They did not care for my son and they made money off of exploiting us entirely.
I went there to treat a broken foot. They held me against my will for ten days. They shot me full of benzodiazepines and forced me to sleep for two days. Told me if I did not take the medication they prescribed me, I could not leave. Medication that the longer I take gives me side effects worse than what I was experiencing. They diagnosed me with nothing that I didn’t already know.
The psychological department is full of bias and disgusting white women who do not understand the needs of anyone. They are foolish people with very clear objectives of denying the humanity of people they clearly do not understand. They violated my HIPPA rights by providing information to a woman who stalks me and has attempted countless times to exhaust and abuse me.
If I would have acted out of their idea of good behavior, they would have drugged me again and again forced me to sleep in a padded room on the floor and electroshocked me— I saw it happen to other patients. So incredibly disturbing.
They stole my phone the doctors went through all of my possessions and told me about what I had to use it against me in therapy sessions.
They especially mistreat immigrants. There were people there for months with immigrant status that were given no clear answers and told it was for the best.
Also, they do not separate men and women. I was forced to be subjected to multiple attempts from clearly mentally unwell patients to comments of rape and sexual abuse. For four solid days, I had to tell a Russian man who was out of his mind to stay away from me. He would grab me and scream at me that he wanted to fuck me. He would attempt to follow me to my room in the women’s section. Relentlessly. He was determined to get his will and if I would have slipped at all, he would have waited for that moment and done something horrible to me…
What?
I left that hospital with no child, no property and no care. They didn’t even show me or discuss my foot X-rays.
This is not healthcare it, it is insurance fraud on behalf of the hospital. It is abuse and involuntary psychological experimentation on people for the sickness of those in charge.
Fuck that place. They deserve a class action lawsuit.
