Bayside Imaging Hires Inept, and incompetent Imaging Techs. I had a PET Scan done for lung Cancer, and that was to followed up With a CT Scan With Contrast. I had to go to Mt. Diablo Hospital for a I.V. Port For Scan Beforehand, And Than Drive to Imaging with an I.V. In my Arm. The imaging tech, was angry with me because I Went out a Cigarette After The Nuclear Material was Given Through My IV Port with instructions to Wait in the Quite Room for 20-25 minutes. He had orders to also do a CT Chest Exam with Contrast. Well after Pet Scan, He Tells me I do not need the IV Port, and He took it out before checking that he had completed all the Scans. Well, He had not, So then he lies to the Doctor and tells him I was uncooperative, and the box was not checked right for a chest CT Scan. Hello? I have Lung Cancer, Of Course! A CT Scan with Contrast is Called for in that instance, however because he pulled my port for the die to go into, He then cannot Perform it, even though he attempted to try, and start an I.V. Two Times. Then Tells me I will have to return at a later date to complete my test for his Errors! And To add insult to injury I received a copy of the reports to take to Stanford university for a second opinion, And The Doctor Rubber Stamped, And Covered up for his Ineptitude by trying to place all of the blame on myself, and The ordering Doctor Dr. Gainey. The Doctors, Who Did this Were Electronically Signed the Reports from Bayside Imaging in Pleasant Hill were One Dr. Barry Engelstad, MD on 10/23/16 3:43 PM And Dr. Evan Sirc, MD on 10/21/2016 4:12 P.M. The Ordering Physician was Dr. John T. Ganey MD. of Epic - Care Oncology of Pleasant Hill, Ca. Because of The Ineptitude Demonstrated, Lack of Professionalism, and Unprofessional Dishonest Conduct of both the PT Scan/CT Scan Administrator, and The Radiologist. I Could Not In All Good Conscious, Recommend Them To Anyone Considering There Services! The Effect on Me is That I will be Forced to Undergo with Considerable Pain. New Testing That They Failed to Perform. And, Also with Great Inconvenience, Of My Time, And Considerable Expense to Myself, Now that Stanford University Will have to Do It, Being That I Live Some 4 Hours of Commute Time Away ( 1 Way)! And Will Now Have to Get Overnight Lodging Which is Not Cheap Around Stanford. Around an Average of $250 per night on a week night, Some $45.00 In Gasoline, $5.00 in Bridge Toll, And Parking At Stanford, Meals, 3 Dinners, And Lunch for Three People, Because I will not Be Able to Drive Afterward. Because of a Missed CT Scan That Should have had Contrast, And needs to be Re-ordered, Plus, an Outpatient Surgery that Dictates that I have some one to Drive Me Home! My Step Father, and My Mother. I would think the Responsible Thing That they Could do, Would be to Admit To Their Mistake, Fire The Inept Technician! And Offer To Pay My Expenses For Their Mistakes. I am Not Going To Hold My Breath For Any Of those, Being That They All Want to Lie, And Cover-Up, and Place Blame!!!
