Ain't That Grand!

As I put in my last post, I was preparing to finally report all 85 incompetent doctors that I have seen to the AMA and write bad, but true reviews about them when I see on the news a doctor suing a patient because of a bad review. So I google it and find that doctors are not only suing for bad reviews, but for complaints to the AMA.

So basically in America, doctors can treat you badly, belittle your legitimate health problems, make inappropriate referrals, or ignore your complaints which could ultimately lead to death and refer you to counseling instead of for appropriate testing and you as the patient and consumer have no recourse...ain't that grand!!!

The patient I mentioned in the last post, died this week...

Had my letter to his doctor in mid-October not have been ignored, it is possible that he could have lived a few months longer. I believe the infection wiped him out..pure negligence. And the reason that I know that he died, someone overheard the doctor talking to someone in the hallway of the hospital, by name. A big HIPAA violation..I called his wife tonight to offer my condolences and it was confirmed.

All actions there completely inexcusable..

WHAT A WASTE..

Finally after waiting 3 weeks for the incompetent ENT to order a CT of my temporal bone, the test was ordered and then done. It was done 2 weeks ago, do you think the doctor called me with the results? Of course not. I had to get my results from the hospital's medical records.

Fortunately it was negative. Assuming the radiologist read it correctly and I have little faith in that too.

But really where does that leave me. The left side of my head is still tingling and swollen and I have occasional pain in the left ear. I, the person who never takes anything for pain, have started taking 3-4 ibuprofen every morning, as well as a supplement for lymphatic drainage and vitamin C. It has masked the symptoms well for 2 weeks, but today my head, left ear and left eye is back to tingling. My left eye was watering a lot last night and today. Quite the psychological manifestation. Oh and yeh, now I have $1300.00 that I have to pay for my insurance deductible for the CT scan, plus a $60.00 co-pay for the incompetent ENT and a $30.00 co-pay for the even more incompetent GP.

Tomorrow, I am starting my letter to the American Medical Association to report all of the doctors and dentists that have misdiagnosed me and treated me disrespectfully. I am going to file complaints against every last one of them, as I should have done a long time ago.

These latest two have been the worst.

I have nothing left to lose, I can't get help anyways. It's cost me thousands of dollars to be repeatedly misdiagnosed and treated like shit, gradually chipping away at this problem. It's time for these doctors to be held accountable. I wish I could sue them all for malpractice, but apparently since they haven't completely killed me yet I probably have no case. Although again, I think that I could go after the last two for negligence.

The GP I recently saw also is a primary referrer at the practice that I currently am working at. Due to his negligence, one of our mutual patient's has now been placed on hospice. I can't get into the details, but if he had taken action on 10/13/15 when I notified him about the patient's decline in status and put the patient on antibiotics then, the patient may not be so close to death now. Pure negligence on the doctor's part. It is infuriating! And the patient's wife is still enamored by the incompetent doctor. I don't know how he sleeps at night, unless he's smoking some weed before he goes to bed. He make diagnosis like he is on weed..or crack.

May he lose his license soon!
