Thomas Jefferson University Hospital

Anytime I have had to visit this hospital, the staff seems more focused on getting people in and out rather than if they’re actually okay. I was recently slipped something while out, don’t remember falling, having an ambulance called and being admitted to the hospital and I woke up in a hospital bed with blood still all over my face. The doctors and nurses continued to ask me accusatory questions when I woke up, CLEARLY groggy and not the normal hangover-y symptoms (which they should probably be able to recognize?), despite telling them I don’t remember anything, I actually drank less than I usually do when out so I was most likely drugged and said that to all of them multiple times. They said something about lab tests being a hassle but if “that was really the route I wanted to go” that they’d “look into it”. I found this experience really disturbing and I just got off the phone with them to see how to go about getting a detailed account of what happened and while the employee on the phone gave helpful information (second star), their tone was dismissive and irritated which I find is really disrespectful especially considering the circumstances under which I ended up there. The especially dismissive doctor that told me I should basically just let go of the fact that I was almost certainly drugged is Brendan Carr. I’m usually very respectful and understanding of the taxing and necessary careers of doctors and nurses which is why this experience was especially disheartening at best. I get that being a doctor is a well-paying and prestigious position in society but if you don’t actually care about people’s well-being, why are you doing it?
