Tweety Bird, He is a she ;o). I was not confrontational and have never sworn at a doc as I have much respect for all in the medical field. I think that the decision to "fire" me was made by the office manager without the dr's knowledge but they would not have the doc contact me direct...only her incompetent nurse who couldn't take 5 minutes in a period of 7 days to return my call when I and 2 of my other docs had a serious concern about a medication she had prescribed for me. I must add that I had a CT scan that showed a "significant thrombus (blood clot) in my aorta while I was recently in the hospital and she became my cardiologist. She told me I could be discharged with no mention of the finding. I asked what was her plan regarding this issue and she admitted that she had not picked up on it in the report...blamed it on the radiologist! She also said she would discharge me on blood thinners to treat it but left the hospital (and not to be back for 3 days) without prescribing any medication. Had to call the doc on call for her who had no clue about my medical situation. Had to stay in the hospital longer as a result. And people ask why insurance costs are so high...she was more concerned about her weekend. Guess I should have started looking for a new doc at that point.
