Loma Linda University Medical Center - Murrieta — Local services in Murrieta

I’m currently a patient here at Loma Linda Hospital university located in Marietta California. I was a minute to the hospital March 26. I stood for over 10 days. They can’t figure out what’s my issue. I feel like they’re practicing on me gave me oxygen treatments heated oxygen treatments. I came in with pneumonia and respiratory problems. My SPO2 levels was very very low and in those 10 days I was told multiple things one doctor told me that one day. I’m fine the next day I’m not they can’t figure out what’s wrong with me. Then they tell me there’s something dripping on my heart then Ignored the fact when I asked about it during discharge, all they did was sent me home with antibiotics and cough medicine. I was discharged on April 2 of 2025. And then ended up back in the same hospital on Easter day of April 20 of 2025 I was coughing up blood spitting out blood Through my nose out my mouth and now I’m currently still stuck here with no answers. I’ve been here since the 20th and they keep giving me the runaround telling me tomorrow. My results will be in and by the way for precaution we are putting you in isolation Until your results come in and that could take a few days the doctor and nurses is not filling me in with any information, but I could clearly hear them talk about me in the hallway. I could hear something being said, telling One nurse during shift change I seen her G.I. results. I was gonna have to transfer her to a isolation room temporarily for a few days until the results are in so I asked him about my results. They tell me they don’t know anything yet. It’s best to ask the doctor and the doctor won’t know nothing until a few days from now so which is it? Do they know something or don’t know something they are just treating me like an animal here throwing me on anabiotic‘s potassium not knowing what’s wrong with me so let’s just give me antibiotics until then and we’ll make a decision to either throw her out and discharge me because it seems like this hospital just wants me to crop and die. They are misleading, misguiding me on purposely and when I ask a lot of questions, they don’t like it. They go silence, and when my husband tries to correct them on a few things and ask them questions, they destroy us around with what you have to wait to the doctor. We don’t see anything on our end yet, we have to wait for a doctor complete bullshit so now I’m stuck here with making a decision to discharge myself to see a better doctor further away from town in San Diego knowing that there not gonna give me any help or the proper papers of my prognosis or lab results and lab tests that they have done to me so I can give it to someone else for a better opinion so thanks loma linda for being so crappy and uncaring, but you guys like to build my medical card and like using my card to make money, but won’t take care of me this is a place of practitioner, doctors and nurses. I am just being used as a guinea pig, and geting my medical card took advantage of…. This place needs to be under a microscope and shut down four malpractices misguided information falsifying information. I am not a dog and even dogs get taken care of at Yvette. I’m not homeless or a user. I am a working class citizen, born, and raising this country like everyone else I never even left the state of California and he keep telling me you had to leave the state go out of the country. I think I would know if I left the country. I don’t even got a passport to leave the country if I wanted to. I am 32 years old 120 pounds and he can’t figure out nothing wrong with me down to them giving me anesthesia for a G.I. and the anesthesia did not put me to sleep. They gave me three doses which was 375 mg of anesthesia through an IV and still did not knock me out and he still forced a camera through my nose and down my throat while I’m struggling to pull it out...

Our daughter Kally was born at Loma Linda Hospital Murrieta. She was a healthy baby girl. Shortly after her arrival one of the nurses preformed the newborn exam. She did not mention anything concerning with Kally at that time. Moments later Dr. Agrawal came in. He did a brief examination on Kally. He determined that she has skin covering her anus and that it could just be a piece of skin that needs to be opened up or she could have an intestinal blockage somewhere that would require multiple surgeries and months in the hospital. He determined she needed X-rays done immediately and from this point on she needs be NPO, meaning I would not be able to breastfeed my newborn baby.  X-Ray came in and did multiple X rays on my newborn. My husband had to try and hold her down as she was screaming.  After X rays were done Dr. Argawal came back in and said he looked at the images and it further confirmed his suspicions that Kally has a blockage somewhere in her intestines. He said we would need to be sent to Loma Linda Children’s Hospital immediately.  That’s when Kally was sent to the NICU. We had to watch them put a tube down her throat to suck out any fluid that may be in there or would go in to her stomach. They also administered an IV since she wouldn’t be able to eat. They kept her at the NICU in Murrieta until the ambulance arrived. That’s when Kally had her first bowl movement! We asked Dr. Agrawal if this is all still necessary because she was having normal bowl movements. He said it was necessary still.The two ambulance care team arrived and saw that she had a normal bowl movement. They examined Kally’s anus and reviewed her x rays and questioning Dr. Agrawal’s judgment as well, asking if this was all necessary. Again, he said it was necessary. I was discharged approximately 4 hours after my delivery so I could go to the hospital with my newborn. Once we got the children’s several surgeons came in to the NICU where they examined Kally. They saw that she had a perfectly normal anus. They witnessed her having multiple normal bowl movements ans well. All of the surgeons were in disbelief why we were there. They determined the skin on her anus was just a small skin tag that would poke out when she would cry. They decided to keep her over night to monitor her because no one was sure what to do woth a perfectly normal baby in a preemie NICU. We were in the preemie NICU for reasons we still do not have answers too. While she was in their care the staff treated her as a premature baby. They kept wanting to check her diapers and weighing them multiple times telling us that she was declining, as they do with premature babies. Kally was a preemie. She was eventually cleared to have the tube that was completely unnecessary removed from her mouth and iv from her arm. We had multiple nurses and doctors tell us that they did not have a protocol for this type of misdiagnosis. We spoke to one of the charge nurses that had apologized to us profusely. The social worker came up to us and said he was in the morning meeting with the doctors reviewing our case and the doctors were completely confused and in disbelief as to why we were sent to this hospital in the first place. Every healthcare worker we encountered during our stay was confused as to why we were sent to children’s hospital and why we were in the preemie NICU. We did not get the proper care that is necessary after delivery for myself or for my newborn baby. Dr. Agrawal’s approach was severely aggressive. Had he taken a more conservative approach and gave a more thorough examination, his assessments would have shown Kally completely healthy and her ability to use her properly functioning bowls and anus. His mistake, his negligence, caused detrimental emotional distress for myself and my husband. Loma Linda Hospital and staff failed our family the day...

⚠️ URGENT WARNING: My Horrible Experience at Loma Linda University Medical Center Murrieta ⚠️ Location: 28062 Baxter Rd, Murrieta, CA 92563
Dates: Friday, August 15 – Tuesday, August 19, 2025
Patient: My mother, who was admitted due to severe swelling and pain in her right leg and foot.

I’m writing this to share a disturbing and unacceptable experience my mother and I endured at Loma Linda University Medical Center Murrieta. If you're considering taking a loved one here — DON’T.

🔹 What Happened: On Friday, August 15, I brought my mother to the ER due to a swollen, painful right foot. After hours of waiting, she finally received X-rays, a blood draw, a Norco for pain, and IV antibiotics. Around 1 PM, they informed us that her WBC (white blood cell) count was high and she would be admitted. She was briefly placed in a hallway bed and then finally in Room S2 around 2:30 AM. The initial diagnosis was cellulitis — yet for five days, they only gave Norco pills and antibiotics with no urgency or effort to find the real cause of her pain.

🔹 What Went Wrong: No Ultrasound: Even though it was ordered early on, it was randomly canceled and no one could explain why. Only after I pushed for answers was it re-ordered days later. Constant Pain Ignored: My mom cried nightly from the pain. She kept being given Norco pills but no meaningful treatment or investigation into what was causing the pain. No Steroid Shot: When I requested the steroid shot she normally receives for gout flare-ups, the nurse practitioner dismissed the request and offered no alternatives. MRI Ordered on Day 5?! After days of doing little, they suddenly wanted to run an MRI — with no clear explanation, and way too late. Dismissive, Cold Staff: Some of the staff showed zero compassion or professionalism. It felt like they saw my mother as a dollar sign — not a human being in pain. Unnecessary Delays & Excuses: Everything was slow, disorganized, and unclear. Every answer felt like a stall tactic. Visiting Hour Issues: I had to fight just to stay with my mother to help her get clean and comfortable for the night. Once I got approved to stay overnight, one nurse still tried to report me.

🔹 A Few Good People Yes — there were a few kind and caring nurses who truly seemed to understand our concerns. I thank them sincerely. But they were outnumbered by indifferent staff who lacked empathy and professionalism.

❗ My Final Straw: On Tuesday, I spoke to multiple nurses and told them we were done. I demanded discharge. They suddenly mentioned new "findings" and tried to order more tests. It felt like they were buying time and billing more without results. I had enough. I left with my mother and refused to sign any discharge paperwork. I will not support or validate how we were treated.

💔 Summary: My mom was treated as if she was a dollar sign to the nurse practitioner not a patient. We left with more questions than answers, and days of unnecessary pain and trauma. If I hadn’t stayed and advocated for her care, I fear something worse could have happened.
