After being misdiagnosed I was put into an induced coma for weeks. After a period of time my family was told to prepare my funeral arrangements because I was not going to recover. They made the assumption that it was something in the drugs that I took. Meanwhile, I had taken no drugs. Even after what I would assume they tested for and realized this you would think they would stop treating me for that and figure out what the problem was. I was found unresponsive with foam/blood coming from my mouth. They got the idea of taking drugs from trying to question me while completely unconscious sometimes conscious enough to make noises but could not comprehend what was going on. So when they asked me if I took anything I responded that I took Mydol, for a headache. After they heard "mushrooms" instead, though my mother understood I said Mydol, they took that and ran with it and treated me for mushroom poisoning assuming I ate the wrong type of mushrooms. Meanwhile, that was not the case obviously after weeks of being in a coma they told my family that there was no hope n to begin making final arrangements . I was told a nurse actually went back over all of my information and was the one that figured out what really happened, not the team of doctors checking in on me. There was a fatal dose of ethanol glycol that I had somehow ingested. At this point police were involved and it has seemed someone put that in my drink while out that evening... Once they began treating me for this my toxin levels dropped immediately and within days tube started getting pulled out of every orifice and I was able to become aware again. Later being told that my brain and my body had been severely damaged basically my body in general as well as my brain and thought process we're not going to be the same ever. And that's I would be in a walker for a very very long time. I am still a little slow, but I was able to give my Walker to an elderly man who needed it much more than myself after just a few days. I wasn't tap dancing or running marathons but I was getting around fine. So here I am over 10 years later still alive and with very little complications as opposed to the death sentence I apparently was given. Now please bear in mind I was in a coma and I don't remember very well before or after.. I can only reflect on what I was told by friends family and stuff once I was able to understand and retain the information... One thing I do remember is that once I was coherent and I can feel everything that's when they decided to give me a kidney biopsy not sure why they waited until I could feel every inch of that needle going into my back and into my kidney to do so maybe that's pretty cool but I would have preferred being and that blackout stage for that process to...

Good Morning, I am having little misunderstandings about your mental health clinic at the John Hopkins location at 600 North Wolfe Street Meyer 144. I want to believe that I have been a patient for 10 years and I do not feel that I am not being treated fairly by your staff, the mental health doctors and well as those public safely guards, I feel that I am being mentally abused my information is not at private and I know it is being spread all over your hospital meaning they know who I am. Another thing why are the staff at the front desk are scheduling appointments to see their therapist or doctors 3 months away and they are scheduling the medicine doctors and therapist together and to me that is a big NO, NO. They should be separated all of the time. What I am trying to say you need to have someone to come in check on the staff, as well as your mental health doctors and therapist and I believe something else is going on in that clinic, and I know for the fact that one of your mental health doctors is being abused as well as myself because we are friends her name is Dr. Aviva B. Goldman. I feel that she is being mistreated by the staff and two of your employee, a doctor and I'm not sure but a therapist, Please get my friend out of there she is a very nice person and she truly care about her patients. I don't like coming but I come because of her safety. You will hear from me again if things don't change because it is time for you to get some new people who CARES. Please clear the house because mental health issues is nothing to play with. We are stepping in the future. Take Care and Stay...

I had the sleep study, needed the CPAP machine. Unfortunately the Doctor Who got my sleep study test results initially did not look at my test results or notify me. Several months went by without getting the CPAP. I was then told by my family members to check back because my family stated that I had all the symptoms of severe sleep apnea. Upon checking back I found out that I did have sleep apnea, and needed a CPAP machine. By now it has been over five months I am Trying to obtain it and ended up going back to JHOPC to verify it. The doctor said they would order it and contact me within a week. That been about six weeks now I called the phone number at sleep study, I have left at least eight messages and no one has ever returned my call . I live about an hours drive away from the hospital or I would go up there and find out what’s going on. I work and unfortunately my hours coincide with the opening hours of Johns Hopkins. I would have to miss a day to go there to settle this. I just don’t understand at all. What can one do in a situation like this? I plan on calling the main number and ask them if they have a patient representative or someone like that that can troubleshoot...
