I would find a way to "rate" the doctor.. there are some online "rate my doctor " sites and blog about him. I would express my displeasure with him and show him he will be held accountable.
I would NOT go back to that doctor/surgen for sure. Also, whats up with the nurses? Why did someone not question the delay?? |
I just spoke to our case manager. She said that hospitals tend to keep you longer so they can get the insurance money. I have also talked to two different nurse supervisors and I just put a call in to the surgeons office. I am going to be known as the witch!
I have no choice but to go to the same surgeon. No one else wants to take the case.
Once a surgeon operates they all tell you to go back to him. Once he releases Alex, then I can change. Until then, I am stuck!
As far as the nurses, they do not stand up to the doctors here. At all. Especially the surgeons. Seems they think they are "God Like". At least that is what I am hearing. The nurse supervisor did come and tell me that the Medical Director has been notified. But they have not contacted me. I am sure they don't even care.
The Pediatrician just came in. She is going to see what she can do. She is awesome. She said her hands are tied since the surgeons are involved. But she did tell the nurses to page him if he wasn't here by noon. Maybe we will know something then.
