How convenient for KP Southern California’s bank account that this man’s father was “accidentally” disconnected from his ventilator, only hours after his doctor failed to talk the man’s son into doing so on purpose! You have to ask yourself — is your Kaiser Permanente doctor a one man death panel?
By Dwight Smith
The Pulmonologist caring for my father pulled me aside and asked me to sign a slip giving Kaiser permission to disconnect my father from a ventilator. Horrified, I said, “Ask him yourself, he’s fully conscious.” Terrified, I asked my father to take a quiz: Write the first six letters of the alphabet, which I’d written at the top of a blank page. My dad did so in a shaky but readable hand. I then demanded that the charge nurse place the document into my father’s chart and handed it to her.
The next day when I arrived, my brothers were in a tragic huddle. During the night, transportation aides had taken my father for a CAT scan. During the process, the lanyard keeping his ventilator tube in place had been untied, and the entire two foot length of his air tube “accidentally” got pulled from his throat. In spite of the fact that he was to undergo x-radiation, no Doctor was present, and when one was finally summoned to re-insert his airway, so much time had elapsed that my father had suffered irreversible brain damage.
When a clumsy attempt to sample my father’s arterial blood gasses, which involved digging deep into his arm with a needle elicited no response at all, I realized the time had come to disconnect my father, just as the Pulmonologist had requested. The heavy lanyard securing his airline took some time to undo, and I held him as we pulled the tube from his lungs and watched him die. I realized at that moment that it required deliberate and intentional malice to accidentally “disconnect” a patients airway.
As I left to attend a meeting wherein the Pulmonologist persuaded my three brothers to argue me out of an autopsy, I looked at the bulletin board at the side of his bed. The quiz that proved he was alert and conscious, his last six letters, written in response to my written question, was posted as patient art.
Make no mistake about it – Kaiser doctors kill patients.
Dwight,
I am so sorry for your loss….
Sadly, what I have witnessed is that when a Physician does his/her best to talk a family out of having an autopsy performed, it is usually because they do not want the family to find out what really happened…..
Dear Dwight,
I am also very sorry to hear of your Father’s death at the hands of Kaiser. You and I should talk. I am all too aware of how they intentionally let patients die to save money. They did this to my baby girl. And you are in California, I am sure by now you are all too familiar with MICRA, California’s malpractice cap. This cap allows Kaiser to continue to kill. It is actually much cheaper for them to let the patient die. Kaiser + MICRA = DEATH TRAP. If you would like to contact me, the Kaiserthrive Admin can put you in touch with me. Again, I am so sorry about your Father.

I am so sorry you had to go through that.
Times have changed. It use to be companies did evil behind your back – cloaked in darkness. Kaiser is evil in your face.
Again…I am so sorry for you loss and the frustration and anguish you must be experiencing.
There has to be SOMETHING that can be done I’ve been reading through this website and others for days now and there are so many victims but nothing is bein done….WHY?? Kaiser just keeps payin ppl off! Kaiser killed my granny, the dr has orders for tests and never followed through cuz “he didn’t feel there was a problem” 4 days later she’s havin emergency surgery for it and they found her insides too sick by then to fix her she died that evening! Now they wanted to say bcuz she smoked is why she died! That’s it smokin killed her, she went 17 days with no food, no water, definetly no smoking, but it’s not kaisers fault……..how is this right….what can be done!?!?
Your post makes me sad. I worked for KP for ten years. Pts on ventilators can’t be transferred without the following- and ambubag and a competent staff member who can ventilate the patient. All staff have received this training = basic rescue breathing should have been performed until reintubation could take place. I am so very sorry. With the cap on wrongful death in CA set at $250k I truly believe KP would rather pay this than treat patients.
An “on purpose” was done to my father too(see holycrosshealth.com). The pulmonologist knew that given a choice I would always opt for aggressive treatment over certain death, so they simply didn’t offer a choice.
What indeed can be done if hospitals and state regulatory agencies know all about this sort of thing and are complicit?
Why has the DOJ not looked into this? I have some stories myself, but at this point almost afraid to come forward and definately afraid of Kaiser. Almost looks like they are being protected for some reason.Thinking i was almost next, and now really next.
Sorry for what has happened to your Dad. They killed my wife too in one week by mistake and intensional procedures.
Hello friends,
My girlfriend going through the same issues. Is there anyone I can email or talk to at kaiser who can assist? It seems to me that Kaiser is only focused on the money. Can any someone please Help me before I lose her.

I’ve heard some stories from nurses that gave me nightmares. I am seriously ill and I believe it’s from all the trauma experienced working in that place. I’ve been punished for being ill, accused of things I’d never contemplate, let alone do.I do have two doctors who attest to the trauma I experience but I am a slave because I need my healthcare insurance for my family. I don’t think I’m going to live much longer, and the harassment makes it harder…
My husband was released from Kaiser on July 11, 2014 and died at home on July 12, 2014. He suffered from Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and was on Remodulin Therapy. He was basically a lab rat for Kaiser. The chain of events in his case are too lengthy to go into but I will be pursuing Kaiser’s arbitration process. If it’s anything like their appeal process, I already know it’s a joke.
I have a large box of medical supplies along with approximately $60,000 of the Remodulin medication which Kaiser doesn’t want returned to them. What a waste of taxpayer money!!
The Bible verse, 1 Timothy 6:10, that states “the love of money is the root of all evil” is true and this should be obvious to any person, Bible believing or not, and Kaiser doctors are not an exception to this rule. I have first hand knowledge & information about two Kaiser doctors that refuse to provide medicine that would cure a certain deadly disease in a few weeks, but they instead apparently have a method to save money for Kaiser and themselves by not providing the medicine to older persons and watching them die. I think the only way to prevent crimes like this is to find a law firm to take to court the individual doctors that do this.
I am in the process of writing up my story but Kaiser killed my mother on October 18, 2014. She was a hospice patient at home and was on oxygen 100% of the time. The reason……she received too much radiation about 25 years ago when she had breast cancer. Her lungs starting collapsing and the breathing problems began. Kaiser has yet to admit this is what happened.She took a fall on Oct, 18 and my Dad called 911 since it was not related to her breathing problem. She was thrown into a room and left for 3-4 hours. She was not hooked up to a monitor and due to the fall, they put a cone around her neck in case there were any injuries. The cone was somehow blocking her oxygen tube. My brother tried to get help on several occasions, but there was not one person at the emergency room nursing station. This is Kaiser, Vacaville and they had just become a level II trauma center for Solano County. When my Brother realized she was dying and asking for help, he once again went out into the hallway cussing and shouting. By the time a doctor came in the room, she had passed away. I honestly feel it was because she had a DNR on file. As it turned out, the xrays showed no damage but the trauma of being left alone in a room to die was too much for her heart. Kaiser played God that day with my mother. Even the EMT and attending nurse made comments things shouldn’t have turned out the way they did. I have a friend who is a nurse for Kaiser and she made some calls and was told they were severely short staffed. It is horrible they get away with this.
I also can’t relate to these sad, unforgivable mistates. I lost my wife due to a simple arm surgery. Being surgery was done in an outpatient clinic they released her as she cold remember her name. It was New Years eve and I could hear staff sayin ” we need to get everyone woke up and out of here as we have parties to go to. The Dr. told me everything went well but we pushed the envelope on anesthesia as the pain kept her from going under” instead of postponing they pumped her full of anesthesia. She was never the same. Surgery 12/31/14 and she passed next to me in bed on Jan 2nd in early morning hours. Deaths at Kaiser are rising.I would love love to lobby for no matter what surgery you are kept at least one night. She was also diabetic and when I got here home sugars were over 430. This stored in the meter. It’s my thinking diabetics go first. Not at 11:30am with no food after midnight. Not one call from Kaiser. Hell my urgent care clinic calls the next day even if you stubbed a toe.Something needs to be done. A friends father died o of a heart attack as he laid on a stretcher in the hall.
Bob- I am so sorry for your loss.. That is just unacceptable. I had a “routine ” tonsillectomy in January of this year and had to have two emergency surgeries after a week apart. After my third one where I lost 2-3 liters of blood they sent me home an hour my third surgery – being a high risk patient with no one else in the recovery room. Till this day I am still having the same problems I was before the surgery and it nearly killed me, There is no follow up and whenever I would try to make an appt I can’t get one for three – four weeks. My husband nearly lost me after a routine procedure and I’m so sorry about your loss. I’ve talked to a lawyer and I think if we had a big group they cany ignore us
They killed my mom recently. Before that they tried their best to convince my dad to get a surgery to remove blockage from his artillery. He actually had stroke some years before this and doctors from non kaiser hospital wrote in the report that any surgery in the artillery was going to be life threatening for him. Kaiser surgeon didn’t know of this report and thus chased my dad around. Funny thing is that after he was shown that report he backed off. But this time we couldn’t save my mom. I tried to get her out of kaiser, but my siblings already contributed to the killing by getting brainwashed by whatever the kaiser doctors told them. She went there for simple pneumonia and ended up with kidney failure. But it started responding to dialysis. Once she was brought home she even started becoming healthy. But then again kaiser’s nurse came to see her and sent her back. After two weeks, she ended up having multi organ failure. We took her to non kaiser hospital and when we told the doctors there what kaiser doctors said they looked at us with HORROR and said everything they did was wrong! But we can’t sue kaiser for it because my siblings all “yes” to their stupidity. Also suing won’t bring back my mom. All those three months, we only heard from kaiser doctors “I don’t know, but this medication may make her feel good”. When I checked online about them I found out most of the medications given to her were life threatening for her. I cried many nights, but my siblings didn’t want to listen.
Just wanted to add that all those three months, my mom was also a lab rat for them. They kept doing tests on her. Didn’t even bother if it was going to hurt her. They kept using the same spot for blood extraction and that spot ended up with a huge black blister. She was given three different antidepressant drugs (two of them bad for kidney) despite her insistence that she was not depressed. Those drugs made her hallucinate like crazy. Kaiser doctors said she was just pretending to be mentally ill. When I checked online about them I came to know they were the culprits. We then told them not to give her those, but they didn’t want to listen to us. In the end, we had to give them threat. Once they were stopped she was back to being mentally stable.
Dwight-
I am sorry for your loss. Kaiser pulled something similiar on my Dad. My Dad had emphysema and got pneumonia. He was unconscious in intensive care but his movements indicated he was struggling to come back. At admission, he was conscious and would not sign an authorization to not be put on a ventilator if it was needed despite a Kaiser doctor pushing him to sign the document. My sister, a Kaiser employee given authority for my father’s care, tried to have the ventilator disconnected after only 3 days (pneumonia is at least a ten day recovery) after my father became unconscious, knowing full well my father would not sign the above document at admission. She was a good little Kaiser robot! When I told doctors I did not agree with her decision, my sister attempted to have me arrested twice! The hospital security staff, however, would not go along with my sister’s blatantly false charges.
My Dad was allowed to live a while longer because of the stink I raised but my sister got Kaiser to block me from any medical information on how he was doing. It was a conflict of interest for my sister, a Kaiser employee, to oversee my Dad’s care. Her loyalty was to Kaiser and saving them money, not to my Dad. This is the degree to which Kaiser employees are brain washed.
Stephenie sorry to hear of your predicament. Some countries post mortality rates by the surgeons name. Our last two presidents voted down this law. I think they should be posted. Sure there will be people that pass that simple can’t be helped. I lost my mom to the director of another hospital who performed an elective surgery on a 95 year old woman. This happened in July 2015. He performed a reverse colostomy. My sister called me saying mom is calling your name so you better get here. Once she saw all four of us kids she simply let go. Something needs to be done. Dr’s stop covering for Dr’s who make bad choices.
How horrible! I worked for them for 8 months and started realizing their system was thrive or die. I resigned in leiu of termination after giving a patient advice to contact a state advocate as she was experiencing malpractice. With kp home health her wounds went from almost healed to deeply involved all the way to the bone.
Recently, in dealing with a kp patient who is living in assisted living at a facility, I discovered he had oral diabetic medications yet no blood sugar checks ordered. He had an unwitnessed fall and reported he hit his head just prior to me discovering this and the kp physician assistant told me not to send him to the hospital. When I asked why there were no ordered for CBG checks, he said “we really don’t believe in checking blood sugars much on the elderly.” Sent the person to the hospital and blood sugars were very escalated in the 400’s. Hence, thrive or die. I informed the daughter and she is trying to get his insurance changed. They have a horrible system if one is ill with anything., so if you just want a doc to talk to and get smile from when you are healthy, sure, but if you want someone with a brain who thinks outside the box and isn’t afraid to go against kp “protocol” (yes, they have protocol for health issues that tells the docs what they will and will not do), go get an independent clinical doctor or any doc outside of the kp system.
I am also very sorry for your loss. My dad was improperly transferred from Kaiser Oakland to a nursing home in San Pablo and I was not notified. In fact, Kaiser was specifically informed that he’s a veteran and that he wanted to go to a VA facility. He died 5 days later
I am so sorry for your loss, my Father passed away march 21,2016.
KP killed my Father too, he had a blood clot in his leg and when it was
discovered, the doctor sent him over to emergency and my parents paid the fee of 75.00 and the emergency room doctor came in and sent him home approx
2 weeks later he had passed away.
I have Kaiser medical insurance. Back in the early 80’s I went through horrific medical problems because Kaiser refused to admit me into the hospital when my UC Ulcerative Colitis got the best of me, and perforated my colon. I lost 70 pounds, and looked like a war orphan. I nearly died because of the hospitalization delay but I was young and survived, and have no colon now. It’s not easy living part of your life in a bathroom every day. After reading the many previous comments at this website, it is apparent that there is a push in this country to give up on elderly people early on before the doctors have all the medical facts of the case. My mother recently died of a brain tumor—maybe? The doctors wasted so much time with misdiagnoses (3 months, 13 days) that they decided it was too late and talked the family into killing her in a so-called comfort care facility. She was diagnosed with a reaction to a diabetic medicine, a stroke, and then a metastatic brain tumor which they never proved to be the case. She actually died of thirst (renal failure due to lack of fluids). She also was not given her pain medicine as promised once per hour in the comfort care facility (torture care). She was given pain medicine when we complained, and when they felt like it. In between time they sent her to a stroke rehabilitation facility where her medical condition continued to decline, and the staff said or did nothing when she stopped eating, and most important stopped drinking fluids. They did not treat her for a bad infection called Thrush. After we insisted she be removed to ER in the main hospital, and finally to the ICU, they then decided with little proof that she had metastatic brain cancer. And they decided that she shouldn’t be treated because it was too late. Because of their incompetence with the first diagnosis, and second diagnosis, and abuse in the stroke rehab. hospital, they wasted three months of valuable time. These misdiagnoses happened about four percent of time in the era before CT, and MRI scanners. There’s no excuse today. They failed to do further tests that would have shown the tumor early on. The thing that alarmed me the most was at every turn before they even knew what was wrong with her, they insisted that it was not worth treating her because of her age of eighty four. The doctors tried four times to convince us that we should let her die. Back in the eighties hospitals cared equally for all patients without age discrimination. Even though there is no official “Death Panels”, they do exist in all hospitals that except Medicare, hidden behind false ideas that the elderly aren’t worth saving. This is wrong and inhumane. This needs to end.
My case is about my wife’s wrongful death, but I cannot write now too much because I am litigating.
In reading all your cases is the same story, Kaiser gets away with murder. It must be a law that should stop their actions. I don’t think this should continue because it is inhuman and plain murder.We are in the 21st century and a human life deserve respect
My daughter was killed by Kaiser..They treated her for the common cold when her white blood cell count was too high..She fell dead within 24 hours
Not to mention she was only 22 and happy
Please email me information about the firm that is willing to represent you against Kaiser.
My dear brother has been in and out of Kaiser for many years. In the early years it seemed most doctors wanted to treat patients and make them well. In the last 20 years we have had so many run ins with Kaiser, with medical staff even submitting lying statments like:
He can only walk with help on a walker” and “he is unable to communicate.” My brother has been sent to other hospitals with these messages, I believe to convince the admitting doctors to do very little, and let him go because of a poor quality of life. In fact my brother never stops talking, as a local Sonoma County Hospital doctor was amazed to find out. AND he has never even used a walker. The same time as the walker incident my brother was sent by ambulance to Kaiser at 9:00 in the morning. By noon on my lunch break they were just hooking him up to monitoring equipment, and by 5:00 he was in a diabetic coma.
Maybe people in different areas need to get together and see about forming a patient watch group????
I went Palmdale Kaiser Medical Center I did give my Special Olympics form on June 2016 to My Doctor Kaiser refuse sign My Special Olympics Form
I went Palmdale Kaiser Medical Center I did give my Special Olympics form on June 2016 to My Doctor Kaiser refuse sign My Special Olympics Form.
Kaiser Permanente is killing my elderly neighbor right now. Less than 2 weeks from when she was walking and eating (and diagnosed with a hip fracture after her last Dial a Ride trip) she is now lying in a Kaiser bed, unable to wake up. What about a hip fracture causes you to wake up from surgery, spend a couple days visiting your family, and then fall deeply asleep? I’m thinking it is too much narcotic pain medication. Now they say if she flunks the swallow test she goes to hospice.
KAISER is slowly killing my father by giving him all kinds of drugs that are making his conditions worst. On New Year’s Eve, he was still fine, talking and singing then all of a sudden this week he was placed in a ventilator and dialysis that is ongoing. You don’t do this to an 81-year-old man. If there is nothing they can do anymore with my father’s condition then he should be sent home to die in peace and not suffer from all the drugs they were giving him. The doctors have no sympathy at all. They came in and told us that there is no more hope and that my father is not going to get out of the hospital alive in front of my sister and father. How insensitive!!!! My father started crying when he heard this. This is torture! My father is still conscious and can understand even though he can’t speak because he is in an incubator. He keeps on shaking and I can’t stand seeing him this way because I can’t do anything to help him. I can’t let them get away with my father’s murder so they can do it to more families. Something must be done!!!
looking for an attorney…did you ever find one to fight Kaiser?
I’m dying now! for two years I have experienced severe headaches, as I have CNS LUPUS Vasculitis. When I was with another healthcare, I was always…or at the best of my health. Since Kaiser, I’ve been hanging by a thread. They are looking for an infection that doesn’t exist. My lungs are now affected by lupus, and they want to put me on prednisone, even when medical records say: PATIENT HAS PSYCHOTIC EPSIDOES…DO NOT GIVE PREDNISONE. It was ordered…and I picked it up…only to show that I’m being compliant. I put in a request for a 2nd opinion outside of network, telling Kaiser that I had already made an appointment. I followed up the next day to discover, that the notes on my request for 2nd opinion said: Pt refuses Kaisers offer to make appointment for out of network doctor; which is the STUPIDEST thing ever…why on earth would I call and deny my own request?? Please…if anyone knows of a lawyer…I really want to live a little bit longer to go to Chilie and see my girlfriend and maybe to Japan with my husband so he can show me where he served in the military. That’s all I want!
I just shudder reading of all these terrible losses. Kaiser, Southern CA recently killed my brother. I have been dragged through the Kaiser complaint process (dismissive, no responsibility or even a concept of culpability) the medicare complaint process through LIVANTA (a complete sham of unqualified reviewers and/or reviewers incentivized to NOT find Kaiser and their doctors culpable) Attorneys (not interested due to MICRA)recent complaint filed with CA Med Board (waiting) and I will file a complaint with JCAHO).
If anyone in CA wants to reach out to me, please contact me at
llstory45@yahoo.com. I am overwhelmed with rage that these doctors are licensed to kill without consequences.
Hello, and my Sympathy to everyone. kaiser Killed My Mother July, 15-2018.
I know the feeling all to well. My Mother “walking-talking” and doing fine, went to kaiser because of her shoulder hurting. I was told She would be going to KPAC of San Leandro, Ca. for therapy. Almost 3 years later and they are calling us on a regular basis asking for one of us to sign a DNR. My sister said repeatedly “No DNR”. My Mother is Fully in Her Right Mind. She knows everyone that comes to see her. They called me several times asking me about her not having a DNR on file. She actually had Dementia and they used Haldol and Seroquel which it’s against the law to use Haldol on Dementia patients and she was allergic to Seroquel. My Mothers kaiser membership was up-to-date, but that’s all she had. She applied for Medi-Cal but Medi-Cal kept giving her the run-around. So in essence, kaiser wasn’t getting paid the astronomical bills that were compiling. I asked them many times why “She walked when she got here, and shes Bed Ridden now. Only a few years later and I’m making Funeral Arrangements ??? How does going to kaiser KPAC for “Shoulder Therapy” become my Mothers Death Bed. “YES” I do Believe kaiser doctors Killed My Mom. There is “No Doubt” in my mind. This just happened July 15 2018. (kaiser does not hold human life Sacred).
It is Purely “About The Money” with kaiser. It’s really sad to see what our Medical field has come to. Don’t Be Mistaken, there is a pill for
Everything. Just Ask kaiser. kaiser = Death Pill
Sadly, the cases of man slaughter commuted by the Kaiser doctors does has no end. They are killing my father as I write this post. Their murderous plot started more than 20 years ago. He was diagnosed with gastric cancer. Following his surgery, the surgeon tried to talk us out of seeking chemotherapy and radiation. He stated he has 6 months to live, and it would be inhumane to put him through all that and the follow up care. With him being still in his 50’s then, we chose to do everything possible so not to have those “what if…” regrets. He made it through, and that was more than 20 years ago. But, in the process of chemotherapy the line delivering the poison got plugged without immediate attention from the care staff. The toxic meds infiltrated into the surrounding tissues and cause permanent nerve damage in his right arm, which left him with a lifelong of pain, Rather than addressing the cause, they put him on a life long supply of Percocet, which turned him into a pill addict and robbed him of his productivity and quality of life. He was then on and off in the hospital for series of infections. At one point his primary care doctor put him on a cholesterol medication that caused painful muscle cramps that had potential for death. When we found out he did not high cholesterol in the first place, his doctor just said sorry and that unknown to him he was part of a drug study for the cholesterol medication. He lived a modified and limited life for the 20 some years that past, until about 2 yrs ago.
He developed abdominal pain. Kaiser docs would just give him antibiotics and send him home without diagnosis. My mother actually advised the docs to check his gallbladder. After more imaging, they noticed what they called a stone and removed his gallbladder. As his symptoms were getting worse and pain not ending, they claimed part of the stone is still there. So, after 2 more failed surgical attempts, they considered pancreatic cancer. Now, this is almost a year after his initial symptoms and failed diagnosis. They wanted to do a Whipple surgery immediately. We forced Kaiser to allow second opinion from UCSF and Stanford. Both agreed it would be a tough case due to his altered anatomy & scar formation from his previous surgery and radiation more than 20 years before. We insisted that Kaiser should refer the surgery to Stanford (experienced surgeon who treated Steve Jobs), but Oakland surgeons insisted they can do it, despite our resistance. On the day of the surgery, they opened up my dad, they found it too hard for them to do, and sowed him back. In response to our rage, and to recording the surgeon saying he can’t do this case, Kaiser agreed to let the Stanford team do it. They performed the most complicated surgery with little complications, and send him back to Kaiser. He was doing great until a lung infection. The Kaiser docs put him on antibiotics and suctioned his lungs and left (close Christmas eve). He gradually left control of his right limbs right after, and complained of pain behind his right eye. The Kaiser doc that took over was ready to send him home with a bottle of antibiotics. In response to his eye pain, the nurse said “just have him follow up with an eye doctor after he goes home”. After we insisted that symptoms on one side only is really abnormal and pushed for studies, they found lesions in his brain and spinal cord. They immediately called it metastasis, and wanted to send him to comfort care. Again, after we insisted that you can’t make cancer diagnosis on X-rays alone, we got ONE doctor to side with us (an Infectious Diseases specialist) who also thought this may not be cancer, and put him on heavy antibiotics. Well, the lesions disappeared and it turned out that the Kaiser doc that was draining his lungs spread the infection to his central nervous system. The infection resolved then. But he started having hard time swallowing and kept getting lung infections again. He started to rapidly become malnourished, and was turning into skin and bones. Instead of trying to figure out the reason for his dysphagia, they just kept giving him apetite stimulators, but the issue was not appetite; it was swallowing. After testing they found that food gets stuck in his throat and goes into his lungs. Even then, they kept giving apatite stimulators and did not mention the option of a feeding tube until it was too late. They still don’t know if there is any cancer in him. But what we know is that they purposely put him in a position to starve to death. No one under contact care of physicians should ever die of malnutrition and starvation. Today, the doctors and the Kaiser corporate investors got their long wish. They started him on morphing sedation to let his body shut down, and for him to die. Take ALL of your loved ones out of the Kaiser system. Especially the young people. Let them know that their not for profit entity with billions in cash reserves is being called out as what it really is: a death camp run by corporate moguls and desperatey greedy staff of providers. Kaiser Permante of Vacaville is directly responsible for my father’s eminent death, in this case of corporate man slaughter.
Some people tell Kaiser Horror Stories, but some people swear by Kaiser.
My teacher’s son died after a minor procedure.
My Grandfather swore by Kaiser and lived to an old age.
Is the HMO really bad or is it an easy target for criticism?
Kaiser Fontana killed my 11yr old daughter in 2008…due to misdiagnosing her…this hospital is a joke and forget trying to sue them….they are protected somehow someway! I would rather die then ever go to a kaiser hospital!!!!!!
People are swear by Kaiser are people who were blessed with good health, and no problems. People who have never developed severe illness. People who are not poor.
Kaiser is evil. And they have politicians sewed up in their pockets. Gavin Newsom is one of them. Kaiser has funneled tons of money into his war chest.
Kaiser killed my mother. It’s unforgivable what they are doing to their patients. They should not be allowed to treat anyone! My mom went in for a routine surgery and never came home. The surgery itself went fine and she was in the recovery room. She was alert, awake, taking pictures and excited to be discharged in 2 days. Shortly she started feeling nauseous and unwell and called for nurse assistance. After 15 minutes nobody came so she called again. Another 10 minutes passed and no nurse came to check in her. It wasn’t until she fell unconscious did my Dad have to go outside of the room to yell for a nurse. He said there were multiple nurses sitting at the nursing station, yet nobody checked on her even though she was calling for help twice and for over 30 minutes! They weren’t even properly monitoring her vitals post surgery. She never regained consciousness. She should still be alive today. Kaiser and their staff are murderers! They are grossly negligent of the highest degree. Pathetic excuse of human beings!
