GOTTLIEB MEMORIAL "HOSPITAL" IS FULLY NOT RECEOMMENDED!!! DO NOT GO THERE (OR DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES THERE) IF YOU WANT TO STAY ALIVE!!! DO NOT GO THERE ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE AN ELDERLY PERSON!!! Experienced conflicting reports from nurse, psychiatrist, and patient - each person's report to patent's family is different. Uneven nursing care - some great, others terrible. Doctor tells family that previous diagnoses is wrong, medications making patient more ill. Trial and error administration of meds made patient feel like a lab rat that doctor is doing testing on. Gottlieb Memorial Animal "Hospital" is ABSOLUTELY, HIGHLY NOT RECEOMMENDED!!! In mid November 2010, My Beloved, Dear, Caring Grandmother, grandma Wanda Nida passed away in this uncaring "hospital." They put her on ventilator way too long, we wanted to take her down on oxygen mask but staff & doctors did not recommend saying it's too dangerous. I wish we did, if she was to die, fine, at least we could have had final conversation with her. Because of tube she was on on for 10 days she was unable to say anything & her organism weakened (immune system had to collapse after 11 days of being tied to bed and without water, even an elephent would die; Wanda was more thirsy than walking thru Sahara Desert, she was all dried up) thus leading to septic shock and multiple organ failure. It's not death that I am against, we all must die (thank goodness, only justice left in the world, all must face it sooner or later: another only justice is the passage of time), b but the memory of her being uncomfortable on intrusive ventilator tubes. I wish I can go back in time to November 10 when she was pretty much OK & simply wait for the doctor to give order to take tube out. Nurse Ewa said she was getting better, true, so i thought hey let's wait 2 more days why not, let's make her really better, by 7th day if she can can talk, normally reply, we'll surely take the darn tube out no matter what. Dr. Maher Najjar (who also works at 2525 S Michigan Ave Chicago, IL 60616). This internist, pulmonary doctor of "15 years of experience" is no doctor, he never replied to any calls, nothing, never recommended anything. If you are on ventilator tube it's possible ventilator pneumonia germ will cause pneumonia & at this age is not recommended!Only few nurses were good, rest were pathetic. My grandmother was saved in ER (november 6) & I am greateful to doctor David there, he saved her! But the ICU where she was moved later on, wow, the staff is absolute zero, garbage. Dr. Maher Najjar, her pulmonary doctor, I have no words for him & his associates, wow, he should be animal doctor, even animals would prefer to die rather be treated by him. Im heartbroken. My life will no longer be the same. If u have emergency go to any nearest hospital, if this is it, fine, but when u get better, never stay there hour longer when u dont have to. Very rude people, even called security when I called. When my grandmother was about to die, they called doctor Ivanov who treats critical patients, but why was she called when it was too late, to show off hospital is doing its business right? Her primary physician Meera Madappallil (also works at 2425 W 22nd in oak brook) did it only after I complained my grandmother to highter authorities is not getting proper treatment for kidneys! I could go on forever with this story. Out of 10 days in her hospital, I faxed something 9 times to remind the doctors, nurses to better look over her. They even accused me of being doctor. They even said same crap to security headed by some super asshole named Mark Cannon who threw me out of "hospital" and repeated that crap to me. This was ordered by ICU's head nurse Sheryl who a minute before sarcastically told me on Saturday November 13 2010, to go to church and pray for grandma because she is dying. I had no idea dental technician is MD in their stupid empty minds! If it was God's will for my grandmother to go, ok, I guess, but not this way, not this way to remember her final days. It's so hard to cope, not only for me but my mother & uncle who lives outside USA. Grandma was happy to see me last day she was conscious but I know it was not easy for her with those freaking tubes. Everything about this hospital IS NO GOOD, NOW THEY WANT 180 000$ FOR WHAT? THAT''S BAD JOKE, LOL! STAY AWAY! TELL OTHERS, STAY HEALTHIER SOMEWHERE ELSE! THIS GOTTLIEB MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SHOULD NOT EVEN TREAT ANIMALS! I GAVE IT ONE STAR, IT SHOULD BE BELOW ZERO, ABSOLUTE ZERO ON KELVIN SCALE. THEY EVEN CANT AFFORD GOWN, WHEN SHE DIED SHE WAS STASHED INTO BODY BAG NAKED, WHAT SHAMEFUL HOSPITAL & STAFF WITHOUT ANY UNDERSTANDING!!! ON A CALVIN SCALE OF -273, THESE ARE NOTHING BUT FACTS! SCUM AT GOTTLIEB MEMORIAL "HOSPITAL" DRIED HER TO DEATH, THUS SHE IS SANTA MARTYR WANDA NIDA!!! http://encyclopediasupreme.org/Babcia/BabciaMamaSzpital_11112010.jpg more on pathetic gottlieb & its "doctors" from terrorstan: vitals.com/doctors/Dr_Maher_Najjar vitals.com/doctors/Dr_Meera_Madappallil citysearch.com/profile/33901778/melrose_park_il/gottlieb_adult_day_care_ctr.html
