1 /5 Clarilin Padilla: Horrible Experience – Negligence and Mistreatment at Hialeah Hospital
If I could give this hospital zero stars, I would. My sister went to Hialeah Hospital in a severely compromised state—she was extremely dehydrated, unable to walk, struggling to breathe, and experiencing severe cramps, vomiting, and dizziness. Instead of prioritizing her urgent medical needs, the staff immediately began questioning her about drug use, forcing her to take a urine test despite her clear symptoms of dehydration and stomach flu.
They then falsely accused her of cannabis abuse, even though she had not used cannabis in over three weeks. Rather than focusing on treating her obvious dehydration, they left her in a hallway for an extended period because the hospital rooms supposedly had no air conditioning—an absolutely unacceptable and unsafe environment for a medical facility. Despite her deteriorating condition, they refused to administer IV fluids for an unnecessarily long time, leaving her barely conscious and unable to hold a conversation. She repeatedly begged for medical attention before they finally gave her an IV, which immediately improved her condition—proving that dehydration was the real issue all along.
This hospital is an absolute disgrace. Their negligence, lack of compassion, and failure to provide immediate care to a patient in distress are appalling. The fact that they prioritized false accusations over proper treatment is unacceptable. I will be escalating this matter to corporate because no one should have to endure this kind of mistreatment when seeking medical help. Avoid this hospital at all costs.
