American Medical Association [AMA]

My name is Dennis Zadnik and live in Havertown, Pa., with my life partner Anne Killeen, who witnessed most of treatment in my statements. I am a disabled 67yrs old, Senior Citizen. Starting On Aug 27, 2019 I spent 5 days @ Fitz Mercy Hospital for Heart Surgery. A week before surgery, I gave the Surgeon (Dr Deon Vigilance) a letter from my Psychiatrist, , stating that I had PTSD, Sever ADHD, and other Problems. While in Surgery/Recovery and under Anesthesia, I was Physically Assaulted by someone with a ""Stun-Gun/Taser"" and causing me to almost Bite off a part of My Tongue. I took Pictures of the Stun-gun marks and tongue Bite Mark, while I was in Hospital. I had NO such Marks on me before the day of the Surgery, but Happened in Surgery/Recovery before I was taken to ICU where Anne was waiting. She told me how I was Tied down, both hands and feet. She knows more since I have Little or No Memory of first 36 hours. That was the beginning of my 5 Days I Spent in the Hospital. In ICU, and no one ever emptied the trash next to my bed. Have pictures. For the next 4+ days, the treatment I received from the staff was Deplorable, Emotionally Distressful, and Mentally/Psychologically Abusive. After ICU I was placed in a Room at the very end of hall #559 on which someone placed a Large Sign stating "WARNING CONTACT PRECAUTIONS" to further Isolate Me, have picture. And I was NOT #552, which someone put on the Hospital Record for that time period. This Room #559 was used as a Storage Room. It had Dumpsters in it, which I have Pictures. After leaving the Hospital I went thru my Release Papers which had a Diagnosis. It Stated that I had a Urinary Infection, Strep Throat, and Whopping Cough. A "MISDIAGNOSIS" of which I had None of the Conditions Listed. -- All the Mistreatment and Abuse, and Assaults I received has made my PTSD Night terrors, Depression, ADHD much much worse. Let alone thinking WHAT Physically Happened to Me in OR, Recovery, ICU. ---A patient SHOULD FEEL SAFE when they go in for Surgery. I "NEVER"felt SAFE after I woke up from Surgery. I WILL "NEVER" GO BACK TO THAT HOSPITAL. Or the DOCTORS OR STAFF. After WHAT THEY PUT ME THRU.---

==== I know by researching online that Hospitals have used Tasers/Stun Guns for Aggressive, Out of Control Patients in ER or Patient Rooms, , BUT To Use Such a Disabling Force on a Patient undergoing Heart By-pass Surgery while under Anesthesia, , , !? And Then to Coverup what They Did by putting me in Isolation.

==== No One, I Mean NO ONE should have to go thru what I went thru. Unless Your in some Third World Country.

==== I do NOT do any kind of illegal Drugs. Or Drink any Liquor. I am a Law Abiding Citizen. And a Roman Catholic.

==== I informed both the Surgeon, before entering the OR and Anesthetist in OR, , That I have a HIGH Tolerance to the Medication that they maybe going to use to Sedate me. And that I would NOT be responsible for my actions, I was Ignored. And What Happened ? I have NO Idea, and received NO Answers from Doctor or Staff about any of the marks on my body, and my Tongue. All I got was "" I Don't Know"" ""You'll have to ask the Doctor"" or Just Crickets. The Only time I saw the Doctor was the day after surgery for about 2(two) min and 2(two)min on day before I was Discharged.

=== I was NOT told when I was Discharged, , That I had a Apical Pneumothorax in Lower Left Lung, which I learned about when I read my Medical Records from that time frame, 4 weeks later. --- When I was around 30yrs old I had a Total Pneumothorax on Right Side 3(three) times. And have had a partial Pheumothorax in the Bottom of right lung for yrs.

==== I was put in Isolation in ICU until I was Discharged. With NO Consideration of My Mental Problems such as PTSD and Sever ADHD. Only received 1-2 doses of Adderal last 3 days.

==== My Headaches have increased, Stiff Neck, more Short Term Memory Loss, Dizzy Spells, Irritability, Fatigue, Depression. Some may be due to Medication Change. But many of these conditions and More, I had prior to going into Hospital.

==== What Ever happened to " DO NO HARM " or " The Master (Hospital) Must Answer for the Servant ( Doctors and their Staff)

==== Patients Rights were Thrown Out the Window. Then the Cover-up Began after the Anesthesia wore off.

==== Adding Insult to Injury, , I have received a letter from James Green, Regional VP and Chief Development Officer, Trinity Health, , stating that they Deliver Exceptional and Excellent Health Care to their Patients. And ASKING for a Donation...REALLY !
