Henry Ford Hospital

Detroit





Tina of Sterling Heights, MI July 6, 2009

I took an overdose of pain medication and then vomitted up the pills and stupidly called 911. I have a detailed complaint that I am sending to various executive staff at these facilities as well as State of Michigan agencies including our Attorney General. I was held against my will in the ER, stripped and forced to sit almost naked on a gurney in a public hallway, they forcible took my cell phone away from me so I could not call anyone and refused to call anyone for me, I was threatened physically by a nurse and forced into treatment against my will and without informed consent.

After I was transported to the psychiatric facility I was lied to by the psychiatrist and he said I had to be committed and at that time I honestly believed what I did was a crime and I had no rights. I was coerced into signing the voluntary committment form and later found out that I in fact had rights but never at any time did anyone offer or explain my rights to me. I was strip searched and that was extremely violating to me since I have been physically and sexually assaulted in the past. I demanded a copy of the form I signed and discovered it was in fact voluntary and complained about it.

I was told that they would take me in front of a judge and they would make sure I didn't get out anytime soon. I was also told by a ward employee that since I was there due to a suicide attempt I deserved to be locked up and that I should be lucky it was not involuntary because they could make things much worse for me. There were multiple people who threatened me with my freedom and they forced me to take drugs and coerced me into signing a consent form for the drugs. I was never given my right to informed consent on anything or my right to be a part of my treatment decisions.

After I was committed they gave me a pamphlet from the State of Michigan that briefly describes my rights but anytime I asked about them they threatened me - even their patient rights advisor has ignored my complaints. The conditions in this psych facility were very bad.

Edward of Detroit, MI March 13, 2009


I had surgery on my left kidney (May 20, 2008)to remove a tumor, and in the process the entire muscle in my back on the right side was damaged.The surgery was performed robotically and I agreed to allow Dr.Rogers to show my surgery(via closed circuit)to a conference of doctors to promote the robot. During several consultations Dr.Rogers informed me of scar tissue that may or may not cause a problem. Furthermore, if this tissue was a problem,he would stop the surgery,awaken me and schedule the surgery for another day. The surgery would then be performed entering my body from a different angle and not through the stomach.

However, once on the table and no one to protest or complain, Dr.Rogers change his train of thought and went ahead with the surgery.I was in surgery for over seven (7) hours and thats where all the damage occured.

I couldn't walk for two(2)days,I was disabled for four(4) months and I still am unable to go back to work full time,my sex life has suffered.I have exhausted all my savings,my home is in foreclosure,my health insurance is about to expire.

Kimberly of Detroit, MI December 8, 2008


I was pregnant with my first child, went to a scheduled appt on Monday Dec1 for Ultra sound to determine sex of my baby, nurses noticed a concern, referred me to Henry Ford Hospital for surgery to stitch up my cervix that was opened, 3 suggested surgery 1 said not necessary gave suppository.

instead, came back to Henry Ford Thur night with pain and bleeding, cervix was dialated to 4, unable to stop contractions, my baby boy was born Friday morning 2:41AM with pre-mature complications no doctor could explain!

My son died at 4:06AM

I was five months pregnant with my first child and the emotional and physical distress that this entire medical process has caused is NOT ACCEPTABLE! The emotional stress alone with irreversible results of knowing that my son should not have died has me in unimaginable outrage and Henry Ford Hospital is going to answer for it!
