Re: Have you ever been discriminated by a ER doctor?
Man, that is just wrong Joe. I would def. get your attorney involved and see how you can go about getting this resolved.
My doctor refuses to see people who are uninsured. I have gone to him for years, and recently called and asked if my boyfriend could make an appointment.. he is uninsured but would have gone in with cash in hand.. and the secretery refused to book him an appointment!!

Yea i have actually stopped breathing a couple times.A couple times during surgeries(thank God for code blue) and until i was dianosed with sleep Apnea i constantly stopped breathing while i slept.For the members here whom are football fans,if you remember Reggie White from the Green Bay Packers he died from sleep apnea.I contacted my doctor as soon as i heard this news.I now have a machine that makes me start breathing when i stop during the night.

Re: Have you ever been discriminated by a ER doctor?
Yeah.
I've had it happen with some specialists as well. I had a cardiologist insist I was depressed and that I was doing this to myself. What was happening is I was experiencing tachycardia, my blood pressue was really low, and feeling light headed (room spinning). My regular doctor ended up sending me to a couple different people (including a psychologist to prove I wasn't depressed), and we finally got some of the issues resolved. I don't see that cardiologist and I wouldn't want to.
I've gotten about 3 prescriptions I didn't need from an ER visit becuase the ER doc didn't talk to my regular doctor as well.
Joe I would definately get an attorny or something and take it up with the hospital. That is ridiculous. Just becuase you went to a different ER doesn't mean you shouldn't be treated. For example, if you had a car accident near that ER, you're going to go to that ER, not the one on the other side of town.
Re: Have you ever been discriminated by a ER doctor?
Why don't you give the hospital a call and ask them about their complaint procedures, tell them why you are unhappy, what you would have liked to have happened and see what their response is. Reaching for the lawyer is just going to make them antagonistic and is very unlikely to get you anywhere. Ultimately you will probably just contribute to pushing up everyone's health insurance.
I'd explore your other options before going for the nuclear option.

Boy isnt that just lovely:mad: .Telling you that you are the one causing your blood presure to go low:eek: .I will admit i am not a doctor,i do not see how its possible to MAKE your blood presure go low:confused: .I have made my blood presure go high though,i have a short fuse at times:D .I was in soo much pain last night i just kept my comments to myself and left that ER:P .Now i wonder what that ER doctor would have done if you were allergic to one of those meds he gave you.Until earlier today while i was thinking about how i was treated last night,i realized he actually broke 2 laws last night.He not only discriminated me for having another doctor ,he also discriminated a disabled person.That is totaly illegal all by itself.:mad:

Kurgan,please do not take this as if i am being rude towards yourself as i am not.I can tell you exactly what will happen if i was to contact the hospital.They would lie to me and say they will look into it and get back to me.Of course they never do anything other then cover there butts and destroy all evidence of me even being their.How do i know this is what will really happen? Its simple,it happened to me almost 5yrs back.When i was in the Intensive Care Unit after my first surgery to remove the cancer.I had nemonya (spelling) also so they would give me breathing treatments several times a day.Long story short,i started getting sick just as the guy placed the mask over my face.So i reached up to remove it and the guy grabs my hand and smashes the mask in my face.I now have a chunk missing from my nose because of it.I told the hospital about it and guess what,NOTHING happened:mad: .The lady told me that they were going to fire him as soon as he come in that night.Now you might wonder how i know nothing happened,he attempted to come in that night to give me a treatment:mad: .Its kinda hard to be at work when he was going to be fired that night.To this day he is still their.So by the time my lawyer looked into it no one knew what we were talking about.They had destroyed everything showing he was even at work that night.Now i am not the type to run to a lawyer just for anything and i could care less if i gain a monetary settlement over this.I DO care about how i was treated and will do my best to get him removed and have his license pulled before he causes someone to lose there life!:mad: In todays local paper they had a piece warning people about the things happening in our ER all over the USA.Doctors not properly treating people and allowing them to leave and them dieing shortly after leaving the hospital.Now if you were in my shoes and what happened to me happened to you what would you do? Say i keep quite and let them sweep it under the rug.Then i find out that this SAME doctor allowed someone to die because there doctor worked at another hospital,i would NEVER forgive myself.How would you feel?
