Jose's Funeral Fund

This is Jose Villanueva's story. He's a father of a young son. On saturday evening, June 20, 2015 he was taken to Harbor Ucla for severe back pain.  After 5 hours of waiting he was finally admitted and given a room.  On Day 3 of his stay, his pain was still uncontrolable.  He kept telling the nurses that his back was still hurting and he couldn't walk. After many times of complaining they finally decided to give him some tylenol. Prior to giving him this medication, doctors and hospital staff said they were unable to diagnose  him because there was nothing wrong with him and said he will be discharged.  My brother said," no , I do want to be discharged because I am in pain and cannot walk!" Harbor Ucla was certain he was ok and told him if he does not leave they will call Sheriff Department to escort him out. Harbor Ucla was sure that nothing was wrong and 20 minutes after giving him the Tylenol they gave him a Norco pill because he kept complaining. After hours of being mistreated by this horrible staff we finally went home. Later that night 06/24/2015 my brother went into cardiac arrest. When responders arrived he had no pulse.  On the way to the hospital, responders told us he suffered another cardiac arrest. He is currently in a coma. He is intubated and fighting for his life at St. Francis Medical Center's ICU unit in  Lynwood, California.  Today 6/25 dr's told us that he suffered 2 cardiac arrest, he has a blood infection, and pneumonia. His brain activity is still undetermined due to intubation. My family is devastated  by the mistreatment of my brother's care. Please pray for my brother. We are asking for the publics help to raise money for his medical issues. Thank you in advance for your support.
