I'm so sorry that you went through this. I saw one doctor before I found my current doctor who I LOVE that was evil. He told me that I needed to exercise more and that would solve the problem. I told him that I could barely walk, let alone exercise, and he told me to "just get over the pain." Sounds like these two might be friends! One thing that you can do is call up your insurance company and tell them not to pay this man. Tell them that he was extremely rude and unprofessional and HURT you! You can have them dispute the charges and that will send a message to this evil doctor!

Ok.... here it is...

I didn't post because I didn't want my hands smacked... or worse.

abbie..just don't post spam or porn..or try and get us hooked on a mlm sceme.

if in doubt...pm me.

I'd never go back to him but let's just hope he was having a real bad day. Even doctors are human but one would think an RSD doctor would know better.

The thing that doctors & lawyers both forget sometimes is that we HIRE them & we don't hire them to be mean ot nasty to us. They forget this & need reminded of this. They can be **** about forgeting who has hired who & who the hell pays them so they can pay their bills. GRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr proffessionals like this tick me off. Your Mom should have reminded this SOB of that..................but for the most part we are usually so shocked by such bad behavior we don't think to say much of anything.......

I figured this out when I was in somewhere in my 30's. So there have been a few times I have reminded either lawyers or doctors that I am the one who hired them & that they are working for me & if they want to continue working for me they do not need to talk down to me or mistreat me in any way. I have not once been told to leave & that they no longer would work for me. They have apologized. I have also reminded them that not only is their time important to them, that my time is worth something to me also, so if they are going to to be late etc, that they need to let me know so I can make adjustments also, by either making a different appointment or whatever adjustment I might need to make I can make it. When they are late because they do not start early enough, then that is not my fault. I do understand emergencies I truly do & do not hold that against any person I hire.

Anyway............I wanted to make my 2 cents known on this subject. The way this doctor treated you & your Mom was absolutely uncalled for. Whether he was having a bad day or not. People should not be allowed to treat people any darn way they want to just because they are having a bad day. When running an insurance office if I had treated any of our custormers badly just because I was having a bad day I would have been fired. But not only that, it is just not professional to do that.

You should most definitely complain to the office manager. This was so uncalled for.

Nikki,

I absolutely agree with Jo that you should file a formal complaint with the State medical licensing board (or whatever equivalent they have in South Carolina). Have your Mom get help from a legal aid group, or some consumer advocacy group if needed. Some hospitals do not take complaints as seriously as a State agency. Not always, but some will tend to defend their staff.

Be sure you are able to write down exactly what happened, and in what order. Do this as soon as possible while it is still fresh in your memory. It is amazing how even a short period of time will cause us to forget details.

You can do your part to keep this type of treatment from happening to others.

Good luck

Mike

Thanks guys

Yes, I am going to complain asap. It might take a few days bc of school work right now but I WILL get to it. Yeah, my mom wants to stick my crutch right up his . If a lawyer is necessary for whatever reason, my wonderful step aunt is a REALLY good lawyer and she said she would help out her niece whenever needed (prolly for free). Ill call first and see how it goes from there.

Thanks. hugs
