HCMC Red Building

Main HCMC (Hennepin County Medical Center) offers the public a much needed environment of care. From main trauma unit to Pediatric, GI procedures, MRIs, Echo Cardiograms, etc; it is an all encompassing level of care needed for the greater metropolitan area of the Twin Cities/ Minneapolis, St Paul and commuting areas. Similar to Mayo Clinic this facility offers a quiet Spiritual Center to meditate, a Patient Advocate office, numerous art displays which usually side with our multicultural community, and clean bathrooms. This needed hospital is still in operation despite some very poor administrative management from the past. Currently in administrative management of the Hennepin Counties elective Board of Directors. This hospital needs the support of the entire Minnesota Residents; despite continuous federal funding withdrawals this hospital continues to operate not only for Minnesotans but for our entire country! Should this regional hospital close due to lack of funding the entire Midwestern USA will feel the impact.

I was in the ER years ago after the bridge collapse in August 1, 2007, had a real.nice male nurse. Found out I fractured my spine and it never healed right. I July 8, 2021 hurt my back Region ER triage nurses two women treats people like trashy can people. Assuming that I am a drug addict seeker. I wasn't. Went home 🏠 called HCMC ER and got that nice male nurse who said to me Lynn your back giving you problems again, I said yes that true. At least he knows I'm not faking the pain, in order to get high on. I wish I got better cared for at Regions did to me is gaslighting triage female nurse. Doctors aren't bad.

They had an experimental program with hyperbaric chamber. We agreed as long as her health was put first. They lied, actually they lied a lot. Her numbers were to high and yet they tried put her in. We took her out of program and they were not professional at all. All they cared about was their experimental program. Also my granddaughter was a donor, we are for that what we weren’t for is having a meeting with all 7 doctors and some other person with hospital to talk about comfort care and removal from machines, at no time did they tell us she was a organ donor at no time did they tell us lifesource donor organization was in other room. They lead us to believe our wishes would be followed shortly. 20 minutes later a man from lifesource comes in with paper from state showing she was donor and informed us it was a legal binding contract and we have no more say. My daughter was told she had no say so it was a legal contract she x the box on her drivers license. For the next 48 hours they took lots of blood, did testing etc. then when it was time to finally turn off ventilator we were brought down to operating room to watch her slowly stop breathing 49 minutes and then rushed out so they could take organs. Again let me state we are not against organ donation we were blind sided by the cold attitude and uncaring physicians there. The nurses on other hand were wonderful but even they were subject to the doctors and not saying anything for fear of losing their own jobs. I have never meet more cold uncaring people as I have in the 7 physicians who were supposed to have my granddaughter best interest first. Be careful with your love ones there. Don’t leave them alone, they will do things behind your back I believe. If I hadn’t been there they would have risked my granddaughter and brought her down to chamber even with numbers too high to move her.

i went to hcmc a few weeks ago due to being roofied and harmed by someone. as soon as i walked in they didn’t remotely take me serious. i went into the room and after my HART nurse left i was alone for a few hours. my phone was at 5% after they took it to charge all night. i was still in the same clothes, i was in a tiny room by myself and i was starting to get stressed. all i could smell was the abuser on me still. i spammed the nurse button and nobody came. after 30 minutes of spamming the button i had a terrible mental breakdown due to my circumstances. i opened the door to find a huge security guard standing over me and a male doctor saying “you need to go”. yes, instead of getting help for the recent SA victim, you offer zero support. a sweet female nurse came in and sat with me in the waiting room. i was never offered an advocate, i was hardly checked on and i was extremely scared. women should feel comfortable and safe when they’re in the hands of professionals after an experience like that.

Dismissive er staff that seem too lazy to do real testing. Came in with what would turn out to be a broken jaw at a different hospital and no imaging or testing was performed they just looked in my mouth gave me some antibiotics and said " it's probably just a dental infection" and denied imaging or blood work when asked despite an over 4 hr wait. Medical staff can't be working with probably im never paying that bill for wasting my time why pay for a job not done? Doctor also almost forgot my work not and prescription the ONLY thing I did get out of my time and I had to circle back to the ER and jump through hoops to get even that. Laziness is the only word I can describe the er staff. Icu and other departments have good staff but if your in need of emergency services stay away
