YOU KNOW YOU HAVE AN INCOMPETENT DOCTOR ...
You know you have an incompetent doctor AND a bad nurse when the doctor is taking your blood pressure on your LEFT arm and the nurse is taking a blood sample from a finger on your LEFT hand AT THE SAME TIME!!! Then they pronounced that I had HIGH blood pressure!!!! They also would not tell me the numbers as it might upset me further!!!!
This same "tag team" requested I return for another BP check 10 days later. They said not to come on a Saturday anymore as I TOOK UP TOO MUCH OF THEIR TIME. I also had to pay another $30.00 co-pay. I am now required to lay down for BP checks with my arm hanging off a narrow exam table. Still not getting good readings...I wonder why!!! (By the way, I get normal readings at home.)
I recently had a blood test that was pretty good. This doctor said she didn't know of any other doctor who could get numbers this good in such a short time (since a test I had 4 months earlier). HUH?
She had nothing to do with it!!! I was the one who watched my diet and exercised and lost 21 pounds, took my meds, etc. She told me to take a look at her new plaque in her lobby as I was leaving. She was given the "2008 DOCTOR OF THE YEAR AWARD" by some group!!! Obviously they don't have her for a doctor!!!
Did I mention she misdiagnosed my stroke? My sister had to drive me to the hospital emergency room two days after I saw her. The doctor there called her to tell her where I was. SHE CALLED ME ON MY HOSPITAL PHONE WHEN I GOT BACK FROM MY MRI. SHE TOLD ME I DID NOT TELL HER ALL MY "SYMPTOMS" (covering her butt)...FUNNY, I ASKED HER POINT BLANK IF SHE THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A STROKE AND SHE SAID "NO"!!!
No, No,...BAD DOCTOR!!!
Needless to say, I am looking for another doctor...
