Sunrise Children's Hospital

I was bitten by a brown recluse on my neck when I was sleeping. At first, I didn't know what it was. It look like a pimple at first. Then as day goes by, it got worse. After the 4th days, my skin started to blister. Thats when I look up on line on what it was. I tried all the remedy that people had mention. I've keep my wound, clean. \t\nwash it with anti-bacteria soap very often. Now my wound was on it way, to healing already. But, my wife was concern about me and keep telling me to go check it out. Oh the way, I tear up my house to look for the spider and found it on my 3rd day after my bite. I am a very clear person and my house is organize. It was the only spider in the house behind the drawer. I caught the spider and put it in a glass container. So I headed to the hospital, after my wife got home from work so she could watch the kids. As I got to the hospital the entrance was lock, and the sign said to go through the emergency entrance. I went in with my container. Talk to the reception, nicely. I am here to ask question about my spider bite. He really could answer me, and told me that the doctor will have to see and give diagnose. so I said ok. Then they ask me for my insurance which I have. so I give it to them. After he got all my information, I notice that the doctor was standing behind him listening and walk away. At first, I didn't know it was the doctor who was gonna diagnose me. After they go all my information, then she came back and I ask her all the questions, that is bothering me. She said it ok and ask me if I got a Tetanus shot. I told her,""NO"". This to me took less than 5 mins. Took my blood pressure and send me to a room to wait. I waited for 10 mins. Then a nurse came in, gave me a shot and prescribe 2 medicine to take. ok. I know my insurance is 80/20. Then I went up to the counter to pay. I was told the bill would be $202 for me and the whole amount is $1020. I was to my shock. I'm like what? I ask again. then I ask for a print out and was to that the computer was down. The lady that collect the money, keep telling me about all the charges for the room, etc. I told her, but came just for information if anything else that I have to do. It less than 30mins here. she didn't care. I didn't want to make a scene so I charge it and left. I thought That was the end of it. Today I receive a bill for $504, plus $186 from some other place. I feel like I've been con buy the hospital. I call the hospital to talk to them and told them off. So, don't go to Sunrise. There take you for every penny and tell you at the end. I am unemploy with 4 young kids. My insurance is under my wife.

If I could rate less than one star I would. This place is an unorganized deathtrap. The lack of communication is ridiculous and many mistakes are made. My Son now has a profound, irreversible brain injury due to the lack of obvious action by the nurses and Doctor on duty. Beware....

Sunrise hospital does not insure the safty of the public. They have a parking garage where several employees and visitors have gotten there cars broken into and stolen. They have had nurses jumped and beat up in the parking lots. They have no cameras to secure there parking lots. Security allows people to loiter and break into your vehicle. Word of warning.....dont go there alone. Our emergency room visit was the worst most unprofessional visit we could have experienced. I was sick to my stomach and waited in the er waiting room for 5 hours and asked for a basin to use and the nurse just screamed at me....i do not recommend this to anyone...not alone the safty of us being there. we lost all of our stuff and all we got was we didnt see anything. What do they pay these guys for??????
