Another (dis)satisfied patient...
Did anyone watch Channel 8's (WFLA, Tampa, FL) 6:00 news this evening? A woman, Gina Bernard, went into Northside Hospital back in (if I remember correctly) April. When she left a month later, it was without her $6,000 insulin pump that she had gone in with.
After numerous calls to Northside, Ms. Bernard finally contacted 8 On Your Side's Stacie Schaible. When Ms. Schaible first contacted Northside, she was told that there was no insulin pump with Ms. Bernard when she entered the hospital. Long story short, after much prodding and insistance, the hospital finally found the "non-existent" pump.
As soon as I am able to get a link from WFLA's site, I'll post it here. (And if anyone else runs across the link, please feel free to post it and let me know.)
I'm not the world's biggest Tom Clancey fan, but I don't dislike him. I am a big fan of one of his quotes, though, which is: "The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense." (From http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/t/tom_clancy.html) About the amount of problems at N.side Hospital, all I can add is, You can't make this stuff up.
