I went last night presenting with a bad cough. After Dr. Applebaum listened to my lungs he declared I had bronchitis. He had the tech run an EKG on me. He then tells me I had had a heart attack and need to go to a hospital ASAP.
I went to Doylestown's ER with the EKG in hand and was promptly told by 3 triage nurses nothing on the EKG indicates a heart attack. They reran one which was fine but due to all the unneeded stress my BP was through the roof. I was in the ER for 3 hours where both Covid & flu were negative, troponin blood was negative and my chest X-rays were clear. I was told what I have is viral NOT bronchitis or a heart attack.
This place is an absolute disgrace and I truly feel they should give me my $90 copay back as well as really question Dr. Applebaum's ability to properly screen and diagnose people.
Thoroughly disgusted with the way I was treated. read more
