HELP STOP PATIENT ABUSE AT NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL IN YOUNGSTOWN OHIO BECAUSE I WAS HIT AT THE HOSPITAL BY A NURSE SO YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT PEOPLE WHO CANT REPORT THINGS GO THROUGH
Why is this important?
I will explain my story of what had happened to me on 11/11/2016 by a nurse named nancy with short straight blonde hair probably in here 50's they would not give me her lastname but i have pictures and video Hi, my name is April Walp and I'm writing to inform you about an incident at Northside Medical Center in Youngstown. My son took me to the emergency room there because I'm suffering from a large red bump on my left breast. I suffer from a lot of health problems every day, including severe epilepsy and social anxiety. I was sitting in a wheelchair in the emergency waiting room while my son was signing me in and I had a very bad seizure. When I was coming out of the seizure, I couldn't move or speak but I could still see and hear what was going on around me. One of the nurses said to me “April, get up, we're not picking you up”. I still couldn't do anything because I was so weak from the seizure. She then grabbed me and I felt myself being dragged. When they put me on the bed my head flopped over to one side and this nurse smacked me on the side of the head with the bottom part of her hand and left a bruise in the corner of my eye. My shoulder is also red, scratched and lightly bruised.
Not only did this nurse put her hands on me, but she also pushed my son out of the room. As soon as he tried to come in the room, the nurse pushed him back out. He started taking video on his phone at this point. When the nurses saw him recording, they said they didn't want to be recorded and they tried telling him that he wasn't allowed to but he told them that he was allowed by law to take video. After that they called security on him and they also tried getting him to stop recording.
I made a complaint about all of this while I was there with the nurse manager and the lady who was the head of the hospital there. I also complained to my insurance company about it I would show pictures to show what they did and pictures of the red bump on my breast to show I had a legitimate reason for going to the hospital but i don't see anywhere I post that .
The nurse who did all this was Nancy. She's in her late 40s or 50s and has short straight blonde hair. This is wrong for them to treat people like this and it scares me to think what might be happening to other people who are sick and maybe not even able to report it. I think this hospital should be held accountable and this woman should lose her job and be criminally prosecuted.
