Has anyone had trouble with a doctor that was just plain "bad news"?
A couple years ago I had the misfortune to get real sick. Since I had symptoms including weakness, dizziness, peripheral numbness and memory impairment-I ended up seeing a neurologist, at a large local clinic. I filled out the requisite paperwork, and waited for him to show up. In the examination room he soon appeared. He read the chart, and sneeringly announced: "I don't do numbness, muscle pain and weakness, or bad memories". This dunce then asked me where I work. Next question was "are you here today looking for an excuse to get out of work, or pain medication?" This turd, who reminded me of "Shrek", is without a doubt the poorest excuse of a doctor I ever had the bad luck to encounter. I went home-and began a slow burn. At 8am the next morning I presented myself at his office(he took the day off)and made a complaint with the office business manager. A nice, LOUD one at that, so all the patients and staff could hear. I quit being a patient that day, and am now a "medical consumer". My insurance company and I spend big bucks with these people, and I'll be goddamned if I let someone treat me like I'm being seen in a prison infirmary, when I am at a major clinic in Toledo. Have any of you had similar experiences, and if so, how did you handle it?
