Dr. Marc Bloom, Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeon at Advent Health, 3000 E Fletcher Ave., Tampa, Florida, KILLED my father during the repair of an aneurism of the ascending aorta. He was neglectful and inattentive to the pre-surgery process. I observed how Dr. Marc Bloom did not order the necessary exams to check on my father's carotid arteries, that intrigued me because of the importance of clean carotids for a successful heart surgery and as I called it to his attention he proceeded to order the necessary exams. The results of this exams were never discussed with my father and I, instead they were provided to us by the receptionist. As I called to inquire on the results of the CT of the carotid arteries a week prior to the surgery, the receptionist said Dr. Marc Bloom was out of the office, but all looked good with the carotid arteries and the surgery was to proceed as schedule; Sure enough, it was not good, my father needed to have his carotid arteries cleaned up prior to the aneurysm repair to ensure the health of his brain was not compromised during the procedure; but sure enough, because Dr. Marc Bloom was not attentive to the case, during the procedure all the trash accumulated in my father's carotids ended up in his brain and he was turned into a vegetable; but that was not enough, Dr. Marc Bloom lied to me and my family, pretended for over a week that it was something my father could recover from while the MRI of the brain showed white dots everywhere in his brain and he never wake up from the surgery. Dr. Marc Bloom and the staff at Advent Health Hospital all collaborated in the lie and deceit all to hide their responsibility. Dr. Marc Bloom continue to try to convince us to have my father moved into a long term care facility, knowing that he was never going to get better, he was just going to be exploited and squeezed out of every penny they could get from the Medicare/Medicaid and insurance company before letting him go, and this is an issue with our Health Care System and professionals in it.
The Hospital, Advent Health at 3100 Bruce B Downs Blvd., Tampa; cooperated with the deceit, their final records actually show my father having been released from the hospital, as if the surgery would have been a success, and then coming back a couple of days later and dying in the emergency room, none of which is true; my father was disconnected from life support and died shortly after as a result of the negligence of Dr. Marc Bloom, Cardiothoracic Surgent at the University, 3000 E Fletcher Ave., in Tampa, Florida.
My father passed 10/7/2018, it's been now that I have been able to sit and write this review, it has taken me over 2 years to process the horrifying experience provided by Dr. Marc Bloom and Advent Health Hospital, all who received payment from our good Medicare System, and who daily get paid to take care of people in the medical field.
It is very sad how the medical field is money driven to the point of the professionals and businesses (hospitals and clinics) lacking all moral principals in relationship to people's health and life.
Avoid Dr. Marc Bloom and Advent Health Hospital at 3100 Bruce B Downs Blvd., do not put your life or the life of your loved one in their hands. I wish I would have read a review like this before trusting Dr. Marc Bloom and Advent Health Hospital with the precious life of my loved and always missed father. read more
