University of California San Francisco Parnassus Campus — Attraction in San Francisco

These two UCSF doctors, Dr Manish Aghi and Dr Alexander Lin were negligent and did not follow standard safety practices during my surgery. They saturated my hair in copious amounts of antibiotic saline solution for 4 hours during my surgery instead of leaving my hair secure inside the provided sterile surgical cap. Neurosurgeons are not suppose to saturate a patient's hair with antibiotic saline solution instead of using a sterile surgical cap. While preventing infection is a top priority in neurosurgery, saturating hair with an antibiotic solution is not a safe practice or standard acceptable neurosurgical protocol. Surgical caps are a critical part of maintaining a sterile field, which prevents surgical site infections. They used ‘copious’ amounts antibiotic saline solution on a my hair instead of keeping my hair protected inside the provided sterile surgical cap. The surgeon and plastic surgeon saturated all 36 inches of my healthy hair in antibiotic saline solution for 4 hours during surgery. Prolonged exposure to the saline solution caused my hair's outer cuticle layer to lift exposing the inner hair cortex to damage. They applied a second copious amount of saline solution to my hair and this caused severe breakage and severe inner cortex damage to all 3 feet of my hair. It's shocking that two supposedly educated doctors could be so stupid and negligent with a patient causing them to be traumatized due to their reckless actions. They completely destroyed all 36 inches of my healthy hair and there is no fix for this kind of severe damage. I'm extremely traumatized by what they did and have had to seek therapy. I have undergone several surgeries on my head and brainstem area and never once was my hair ever damaged. These two doctors should be held accountable for the ongoing trauma and emotional distress their negligent and reckless actions have caused. Daily when I wake up I am traumatized all over again when I see and have to deal with such severe unfixable damage to my hair as a result of their careless actions. Prior to going to UCSF I had 36 inches of very healthy hair I was very proud of and they completely destroyed it. These doctors need to be heavily fined for being so...

what is going on here by now 2016? the place is behind the times. the research seems at a junction. more fancy construction of edifices to make us believe this place is all that the reputation is supposed to be. i have questions about the research. also the campus here is so serious. i do not even see anyone reading the materials that the biomedical library keeps on the shelves. i was going regularly since i was 17. it was within walking distance to my house. i was not ever invited to a high school party and did not notice. but i was not considered smart or much of anything. i am a homeless woman who likes to learn at libraries and i can't stay at jobs too long because i am shafted into entry level jobs constantly. i guess i never developed that phony confidence it might take to be a physician. i wanted to be on the medical researcher track since 7th grade. i would rather be influencing millions upon millions than only those within my own practice. i have to go to my dentist office like a complete failure in my adult life, only to have the teeth scraper trying to encourage me into going to UCSF's teeth scraping program. soon the jobs of physicians are largely going to obsolete. i take solace in that they would no longer be able to do no harm. if only i or someone else intervened sooner. this school is a sham

to Jamie L, I wish i could have invited you to recouperate over at my house over the hill from ucsf. or warned you and my other friends not to go here. i think they experiment on people...

For Mount Zion Locations This review is specific to this location. My 4 year old was in the cafeteria and he hit his eye on a thick sharp plastic covering type of thing in the food line. His immediately began crying and his eyelid eyebrow area was split open and bleeding. Of all of the employees with and without scrubs none helped or pointed me in the right direction as I am not sure if mount Zion is a specialty location or an actual hospital as I was only there for a sleep study for my son and the campus is already a giant confusing maze, so I was unsure if there was an ER. When I asked the supervisor of the ER for an incident report, I was denied one. He said "I don't do that. That's medical." Meanwhile, fire alarms were going off and there was a need to evacuate. I later called the customer support number and the woman I spoke to said she would take my incident report over the phone and that someone would reach out shortly. Fast forward to today a woman named Jill reached out and told me that she could not find an incident report and when I explained all of this she implied that there was no incident and that if there were I should "take responsibility as a parent" for my child hitting his eye as if I was the reason why he did it. When I asked to speak to her supervisor, she said that " I am a temporary employee, so I can't transfer you, but I can have her...
