Anyone here ever fire a Doctor-or complain to your states Medical Board?

[gman51]

Personally I feel doctors of today are so far from the original idea of healing it isn't even funny.
Doctors of today march to the FDA and AMA handbooks. Require every test possible to make the hospital a profitable non profit scam. Get all the blood work done. Then prescribe drugs that have possible side effects that are worse than what's ailing you. Cut and splice, burn and chemical poison. Have follow up visits to see if need more of the same because of what they just put you through. If you somehow lived through it they feel they did their job. Seldom is the actual cause identified or treated. We are what we eat is the bottom line to our health.

If people only knew how they have been bamboozled from every aspect of their lives by the so called health community. People don't have a clue they are being used as waste disposals. We wonder why we are so fat and sickly.

I recently tried a DO instead of an MD but I found the same type of treatment. Take this pill.......see a specialist. IMO see a dietician that knows how the body works and what we eat will either kill us or keep us healthy. To funny how people say they would never be a garbage collector. They have no clue.

Years ago--I fired another Dr--and I really liked her--but she prescribed me 12 different meds to take--six of them were the same thing by another name. I liked her because she spent as much time with you when you wanted it-was easy to approach etc--but--it was rumored that she was getting kickbacks from pharmaceutitcal SP? companies for prescribing what she could. In reality-the Dr I switched too told me that I needed to cancel 8 of the meds i was taking then--or if I continued taking them? id die from them. Same thing happened to one of my uncles too.

get re-examined by another doctor who is NOT affiliated with the same medical group as the first doctor.

different medical findings may reinstate your employment position.....

I haven't actually fired anyone but the medical profession is one of the big aggravations i have to deal with today. How many of you have had to sit on hold for 1 hour + while waiting for a human to answer the phone then to be told you've been sent to the wrong extension? I remain convinced that some have decided that dying is a practical alternative to spending endless time waiting on the phone or having shown up on time for a doctors appt. only to have to sit forever because the doctor is running "late"?

Someone with whom I work had some pretty significant dental surgery, and not only were there serious errors, but the jerk was unresponsive. She's had lots of trouble (infections, pieces of bone left in and working their way out, wires from the work cutting her, all kinds of crud), and her regular orthodontist has had to do a lot of unpleasant stuff to help her. I suspect that this will be a problem and she will have to see another surgeon to un(screw) what the butcher did. She refuses to see or talk to him, and I don't blame her. I wouldn't let that idiot cut a piece of bread.

That happened with two friends on mine about a month ago. They are going to do a clss-action lawsuit against la costa ( I call them "costa-lotta" because they do costalotta) dental here in town. They did severe damage to the both of them.

I already tried but, on the local level, they arent doing it because of taking that jerks misdiagnosed word, over a doctor who stated fact. If I can get corporate to change that local decision? Im working on that during my off-time. Ill be getting in touch with someone there hopefully on Friday. Also, wheen I get a copy of the misdiagnoses report--im going to seek legal advice. If its good enough to give it a go? i want to sting this 'dr" as badly as i can. Maybe teach him a lesson to be more accurate in the future AND to listen to the patients questions instead of not listeniung --like he did to me each and every time. I found out that Humana Insurance owns Concentra.

Ive had to wait at least an hour several times when trying to deal with the neurologist im firing. Nobody is THAT busy to NOT be able to relay an answer to a simple question--nobody. None of my questions would need a trip to my file to be able to answer.

My daughter's best friend did. She was very overweight and her dr. had just lost over 50 lbs himself. He chewed her out about her weight and actually called her a fat pig. She left the office in tears and filed a complaint. He got suspended for 6 months.

I fired my doctor because, although a great doctor, he was a better friend and as I got older, I did not want him knowing and worrying about my actual level of decrepitude.

Someone like him ought to lose his license for a year. Time enough to reflect on his arrogance.

 

[fiasconva]

Ringo, he was an arrogant jerk and all the other doctors and staff in his office hated him. He got another suspension shortly after and retired. I think they had a party afterwards.

Just recently I was sent out of the VA system to see a dermotoligist.

First doc was great, second doc not so much.

She was a Somali Woman, in full Muslim gear, her obvious distain for me as a military vet was palatable. She genuinely hated me and it showed. I reported her to the VA and the Nevada Medical board.

She is now off of the VA referral list. Medical board did nothing.

Both of the ones ive mentioned here-are arrogant jerks. I know that the neurologist will have nothing done to him, but I still will send in one hell of a stinging complaint. The other-has cost me a career. I WAS JUST UNOFFICIALLY opps) having a chat with a person here who said the same thing happened to her--but about 10 years ago. She won her suit--so that gives me more incentive to see about suing the creep of concentra. From what ive heaard from a couple other local doctors--the concentra "dr" is not liked either.

That's what im figuring about medicl boards--they are going to protect their own. The other one whom ive been told--I may have a good enough case to sue him-because he's obviously got something to hide (lying) and im about to get all the proof I need-plus costing me a career of choidce. Ive now lost any opportunity to get that driving job--even if im totally cleared?

Also, as per my conversation of earlier--I might be able to get him on defamation of character. Whatever I can get him on? im taking. Friday morning im supposed to see a "big name lawyer" here in town to disc uss more details. I HATE lawsuits but--this twit has cost me a career. Ive been told other DOT drs have also been notified of my case. I dont have printed proof of that but, I plan on visiting a few other DOT drs and ask a few quetions.
