Dr. Khalid Salman Bin-Thani, MD

This is a very busy hospital but despite how busy it was, I feel I received excellent care. My nurse, Mary J, was very kind, caring, and attentive and checked on me frequently. The doctor checked on me regularly, about every 45 minutes, to update me on my care plan and any lab results. The doctor was very patient and understanding. I was brought to the hospital by ambulance, and within 15 Minutes I was given a room. I’m pregnant and I felt well taken care of during my time here, all providers I saw were competent and mindful of any OB concerns.

Last time I was here at the ER I had a better experience. This time the doctor in charge wanted to tell me about her degrees. If she has these degrees then she should know every patient needs and medical issues are not the same. Also, the nurse could not draw blood correctly. This head doctor does not believe that anything that happens to one part of the body can affect another part of the body. She does not believe that problems within the body is connected to each other. Meaning a high TSH is not connected to a high A1C. The two can be connected in various ways, especially if have a condition like anemia or lupus. She seems to make judgments based on how I looked. She left out and has not returned it has been 35 minutes now. Still waiting on an update. So still here at almost three o’clock. The IV in my arm was causing an allergic reaction, I told the doctor and the nurse at 2:14pm it’s now 2:58 pm. She has now come to take the IV when I had already taken it out most of the way. The nurse then tells me that they are releasing me within anyone talking to me. This is pure racism at its finest here at UCSD Hillcrest. No one seems to be concerned about my diabetes, loss of appetite, fatigue, stiffness in both shoulders. Is this really good the standard of medical treatment here at UCSD. Attached is a picture of of IV before and after. The after picture is me removing the tape so my skin can breathe. Is this how they treat there long term patients or just black women in general? I am going to share this in as many place I can. I am sick of being discriminated against by same of the staff at UCSD ER in Hillcrest, San Diego, CA. I have had enough. Not every black person is violent or mean they just want to be treated like everyone else. They say that this is the best hospital in San Diego but they don’t mention that the hospital also has racial issues when it comes to black women. I was debating on whether or not to post pictures of my arm after I left the hospital. I decided to post them to give you a glimpse of what my arm looked like after I got home.

I want to thank the ER and big shoutout to All nurses on the 6th floor who cared for me while coping with such a traumatic injury. I want to also thank the surgeon team who did everything to make sure my operation went smoothly. Being new San Diego, this was the best service I have ever received staying in a hospital.

We were waiting at the ER after hours today after our grandpa had a severe fall. In the waiting room, the triage nurses showed us an extreme lack of warmth and compassion as they directed us which was unfortunate. As we were waiting in the room longer we observed the way they treated others who were concerned about their loved ones, and the amount of disrespect and attitude that these men working the desk showed those people was outrageous and disappointing. We all understand that working in this environment is tedious and not always the brightest, but have some compassion to those who are in a bad situation.

We recently delivered our baby here and had such a positive experience! Prenatal care and delivery were both fantastic, especially due to the excellent care and supportiveness from all of the providers and staff! I’m so glad we decided to deliver at the Hillcrest location and I’d highly recommend it to others!
