4 reviews for Gracie Square Hospital
1. If you want to know what Gracie Square is like, think rural Alabama in the 1940s. The payphones, the only way patients can communicate with family, don't work. The rooms are filthy (old abandoned underwear, cockroaches, blood on the floor, etc). The staff is unfriendly and uncommunicative. My friend, who is HIV positive, was checked in and told they couldn't give him the HIV medication he needs. I thought hospitals like this were closed in the late Fifties and early Sixties. It's a crime!
2. Oh man, this prison--I mean psychiatric hospital--is absolutely horrific. There are absolutely no redeeming qualities. From the unbelievably sub-par care to the actual facility, this should be your last stop if you can't get a bed at more reputable hospitals, like Payne Whitney at New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell, Lenox Hill, or Columbia.
The hospital staff provided NO THERAPY. As in 0%. Patients (and I am totally as hot as I ones at Bellevue, though I'm not exactly shopping for a date in the nut house) just sat around ALL day talking or reading in their rooms or literally just starting at the walls. Some of the patients were indeed quiet ill, and it was surprising everyone was on the same floor. At McLean, for instance, there are separate buildings for diseases like Depression, OCD, and Schizophrenia, and Psychosis, so people can get apt treatment, and therapy all day long. I was in total shock at what a bomb Gracie Square was: so clearly useless, and even made some people feel worse, which they had no problem voicing. It is more like a holding pen so people don't off themselves (though, um, I don't know how sitting around for a week or two in a disgusting environment would eradicate behavioral health illnesses). Also, the nurses should have been patients! Seriously: they were whack. They would actually scream at the patients if the patient could not sleep (and pretty much in every interaction) rather than try to provide aid and comfort.
My arm was broken when I arrived at Gracie Square, courtesy of Brooklyn Hospital, and they failed to set it for ONE WEEK despite my actual begging. The pain was blinding. A doctor examined it by hand and deemed it "swollen," and then sent me for the x-ray I'd asked for every 15 minutes. Too bad it was of my CHEST. I mean, really? Really? I went to Lenox Hill after getting out of that dump and boom: x-ray done, risk broken in five places along the ulna with the carpal completely shattered. I made it through my time at Gracie by ripping a hospital gown and making a sling. I shit you not.
Additionally, I scarcely got to eat while I was here. They didn't know what an MAOI diet was (that's pretty scary, considering it is a psychiatric hospital) and I had to give them a list of "unsafe" foods. They would literally serve me just fruit for dinner. No protein at all. I lost weight even in the relatively short time (one week) I was there. If I'd been there as long as I was at McLean, I truly think I would have developed some serious vitamin deficiencies. No joke.
Also, this place is mad dirty! There were roaches in my bedroom. Roaches. WTF? I get that it's a large building in Manhattan, but that is quite unacceptable and rare for a "hospital." Get an exterminator. Man. Additionally, the blinds faced down so you couldn't even look out the windows and down at the street, and they were covered in dust. It was just revolting. When my folks came to visit me, they couldn't believe what a shithole I was in, and tried to have me transferred, but no dice. At least I got to polish off a 500-page novel.
THERE IS NOTHING GOOD ABOUT THIS PLACE. IT IS HORRIBLE. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES STAY AWAY. HONESTLY. IT'S THAT BAD.
From going crazy so often recently, I admit I did get kind of addicted to those little juices. But they are totally made from concentrate.

Best you got?
Daily in the UK people are denied real health care , people who have spent a lifetime paying for that healthcare, because it costs too much !!
Simple to treat conditions in the USA , often those cured daily!
Ever wondered why so many foreigners, from lands who your UN claim have better healthcare than the USA, come to the USA to make use of the crap system here , with it's incompetent Drs, who cure them of minor conditions thst their home nations superior government controlled health systems have declared untreatable , incurable and terminal?

No, they are not. Check the number of people who were against ObamaCare when it was first introduced and then check the number now. You will see more and more people are favoring it. Why? Because they are learning about all the Repub lies.
Oh, and Obama got re-elected. Either fewer people are against it or fewer people are bothered by it. There are still aspects of ObamaCare that haven't come on line so if the people were against it they wouldn't have voted for Obama.

Of course, the strange thing is people in the UK enjoy greater longevity. If people are living longer in a country that has hospitals with soiled linens and they're contracting post-op infections and being kicked out on freezing nights and still living longer than their US counterparts that doesn't make a case for US medical superiority.
Perhaps you might want to re-think your argument??

There are, as I have already explained to you, many reasons for life expectancy.
Healthcare plays a part if you suffer a life threatening illness.
Likely though that illness is caused by your lifestyle.
Longer working hours reduce life expectancy.
Time commuting reduced life expectancy, 30 mins commute time or more reduced life expectancy.
Diet......
Lifestyle not healthcare.
You know this, but continue to ignore it, why?
People in lesser countries eat cheap food, cereals, pulses etc( beans on toast in the UK) because they can barely afford meat!!
Why do so many British people travel to the USA to be cured of illness that the NHS has declared to be untreatable, incurable and terminal?
You may want to rethink your argument.

You clearly cannot read.
At least a dozen cases linked on this thread.
But we know, you people ignore reality in favor of dogma.

So the fact that people live longer in countries with government health care has nothing to do with government health care?
See, this is precisely the reason the Repubs were disqualified from the ObamaCare debates/legislation. Things like, because poor people can't afford to eat good food they live longer. Or, because some dude has a lot of money and doesn't want to wait in line like everyone else and decides to go to the US that proves their country doesn't have good medical.
People with terminal illnesses go to witch doctors! Many try anything and everything. Have you never heard of prominent people going to Mexico or Haiti or trying some bat wings and lizard tongue?
I believe it was you who asked about my personal experience with government medical. Well, here's the story.
I fractured my spine in a car accident. In other words I broke my back. I also suffered 6 broken ribs, a broken shoulder, a broken arm and busted sinuses and jaw. I had electrical wires hooked up to my heart to keep it going and a tube in my throat so I could breathe. And a spinal fusion to repair my vertebrae.
After 6 weeks in hospital and another 6 weeks in a rehab hospital I walked out the door.
No charge. Not one cent out of my pocket. I didn't even see a bill. They even gave me a bottle of pain pills when I left to hold me over until I could get to a pharmacy. Again, absolutely no charge. No mention of a bill or money.
Contrast that to being questioned about ones private medical plan. Doctors calling insurance companies to check on coverage. Discussions regarding deductions. More discussions pertaining to just what treatment you can afford. And maybe telling a family member their husband or wife just can't afford the best treatment.
You figure out which one is best.
Oh, and a follow up with a nurse coming to my home to check on me and do a quick interview over a coffee on the back patio. No charge. The only complaint I have is when she asked if there was something that might speed my recovery and I said a date would do wonders she declined. So, government health care isn't perfect.

Very nice.
Ben parkinson was blown up in Afghanistan, patched up by army doctors and flown out.
After being stabilized further in Germany, the most severely injured British soldier to survive in Afghanistan was returned to an NHS hospital.
One of his Drs , a jihadist, called his mates and allowed them into the ward where a legless paralysed soldier laid helpless as they dragged him out of his bed and kicked him around the ward.

When I attended an NHS hospital for a minor injury to be attended to( it has been fixed by army staff in Germany), they fucked it up severely, resulting in my dismissal from my job.
Later their work nearly killed me as I sat bleeding in an NHS a+e unit for 16 hours.
I eventually had to self administer before I died.
The number of babies born on roadsides is ever increasing because people are ejected from the hospital if they are not 10cm dialated!
A woman , post miscarriage was ejected from an NHS hospital recently, on a freezing night, in her pyjamas soaked in blood!
A Caesarian section delivery was made, they forgot to use anaesthetic on the patient.
I could sit and list the fuck ups all day , never moving beyond people I know.
It would of course be pointless, fanatical liberal totalitarians have decided they want it, whatever the harm it does, they want it, the rest of us have to suffer it!

Yes, lower standard of vetting to prevent criminals from bring hired.

Never seen a waiting list.
Never heard of a bed shortage.
Never seen soiled bed linen re used for a new patient.
