Dr. Boghem gave my son wrong medication for bowel obstruction. She did not write orders on chart; told my son's wife conflicting stories. Dr. Chopra rarely visited. Dr. Cheng wanted to operate without written orders. Dr. Boghem decided against surgery but forgot to tell Dr. Cheng. None of the doctors talked to each other and apparently did not read radiology reports. My son lost 15 pounds in 12 days from vomiting and being unable to eat or drink. He had so many narcotics that now he is addicted to pain meds. Apparently nobody is in charge; nobody knows what to do and laws are being broken. The substandard care provided is in violation of California Health & Safety Codes and also contrary to mission statement of Universal Health Services, Inc. (parent company and a King of Prussia, PA-based company). None of the doctors are "on staff" and are just floaters with no commitment to the patient or to the facility. I filed a complaint with Joint Commission and am trying to call attention to this terrible place so my son can get quality care. He is deteriorating and needs good medical care right away.
