On February 7, 2024, I was airlifted from Valley View in Fort Mohave to Sunrise Medical Center. At that time I was sedated, on a ventilator and critical. When I was intubated, they removed my dentures at Valley View. Upon arriving at Sunrise, the air ambulance told me that Sunrise signed for my belongings, which were two cell phones, one charger and my dentures.
As soon as I was brought out of sedation, I awoke to find Debra, my friend, had been asking where my dentures were for a few days already, knowing I do not go without them. She has contacted on my behalf the Security, The Lost and Found, The Charge Nurse, the Director of Nursing, Patient Advocacy, (Tyrone Walker). I myself have also contacted each one of these people for myself. The last place Mr. Walker contacted was laundry to make sure they were not in the bedding and tossed out. My Walker seemed nice at first assuring he could find them, but after several days he claimed that they couldn't find any of my belongings and that they weren't responsible for them and hung up on me.
I am on SSI and do not have coverage for new dentures (Estimate about $3000.00), but cannot eat, talk or go into public without my teeth.
Claimed loss: One set of dentures, two cell phones and one charger.
Desired outcome: I need my dentures replaced at a minimum.
