Have you ever had a bad experience with a doctor?

Question

Maybe something that was bordering on malpractice? What did you do?

Answer 1

Too many times to count.

A couple of years ago, the doctor here in Reno almost killed me, no joke. He overdosed a thyroid med, put me into heart failure and would not biopsy what turned out to be cancer. I went to the doc in Anaheim to be treated.
I checked with a lawyer and because he didn't actually kill me, there was nothing I could do in the state of Nevada.

Answer 2

Did you read my gyno answer from earlier? Will tell it again it's a story that I never tire of telling lol So anyway was on the table legs up in the stirrups and the Dr. a creepy old guy not my regular Dr. told me that because of my c-section that I was like I had never had any children down there this he said while he had two fingers inserted in a very delicate area can you believe that? maybe I am oversensitive but I was grossed out and I did the only thing I could do blush and pray he did not try to give me a breast exam

Answer 3

This is too bad to tell. So let's say that after he asked me to do something that would 'help me', I panicked and ran to the hall in one of those open gowns and found the restroom door. When I came back in the room for my clothes he was gone. I didn't do a damn thing about it. I didn't tell anyone else either. But a year later I read he had been caught and sued and forced to retire. And that dirty old man must have been 105 yrs old if he was a day. I'm so glad no one here knows who I am.

Answer 4

I even have. I used to pass whilst i replaced into 15 and that i did no longer ask any questions and that they did no longer make clean any techniques and that they have been complicated doing pap smears. and that they have been very rude. I had chlamydia and that i went there to get examined and that they mentioned as me decrease returned with the outcomes like 3 months later!! and that i replaced into freaking out. and then once I did pass they have been basically like drink this. and he or she or he did no longer tell me what the medicine replaced into or any area effects. So i replaced into on the practice throwing up. It replaced into undesirable! I went to the ona in Atlanta Ga. i've got been given right here in the process extra advantageous sensible teen clinics regardless of the certainty that. the unmarried in Grady wellbeing center. And kirkwood teen hospital via avondale practice station. And particular planned parenthood is extremely expert decision. an prolonged time interior the previous they had practise on a thank you to do a at residing house abortion on the cyber internet.

Answer 5

Yes. It was with my gyno. She had a really BAD shake in her hands.... Needless to say (and this might be tmi) I felt like I could use a little counseling after my exam.

I quit going to the doctor for 3 years. When I finally went back to my new one I almost had a breakdown when the time came. She was very sympathetic though and very apologetic for the other maniac.

Answer 6

Mine was at my gynecologist's office. His office works closely with the local teaching hospital. I've never minded seeing interns before this particular visit. There was a male intern who was to do my internal exam. The way he pushed on my belly hurt so much. A few hours later, I was still in pain. I called the office to explain what was going on and that this particular may need some closer supervision. They were concerned enough that they wanted me to call back after lunch time if I was still in pain. Thankfully, the pain was gone by then. I don't know whatever happened with that intern.

Answer 7

I have been fortunate enough not to have had a bad experience yet but my mom hasn't been so lucky. She is suffering from sciatica and has to go to her doctor's every couple of months to get a shot to ease the pain. Last week, she found out he's been injecting her w/ different types of medications and has no clue what he originally gave her. She's looking for a new doctor now.

Answer 8

My gynogologist left the door cracked once in a long appointment. As soon as I could walk I stormed out of there making sure every patient heard what my doctor did. Later I had my files transferred to another doctor.

Answer 9

it was not bordering on malpractice but a doctor did panic and had me sent to the hospital by ambulance for acid reflux and edema

Answer 10

Yes, with a General Surgeon and a very simple procedure to repair a hernia. I had a second surgery, years after the first one, I was afraid to have another bad experience.
