I don't think I've ever run into a more inept group of medical "professionals" in my life.. and I…read morego to the VA so that's saying a LOT considering how crappy that is. I moved my mom in with me almost 3 years ago due to her numerous health issues. Since moving here, she has yet to regularly see a neurologist, rheumatologist, osteopath, or cardiologist, despite having seen ALL of these specialists in THREE OTHER STATES FOR SEVERAL YEARS. The people here have downgraded on her medical chart every ailment she suffers from. Her cervical fusion? Charted as "neck pain".
The things that end up on her chart make me wonder if they are even in the SAME ROOM as this patient. One guy said she looked "well-nourished", the woman weighs 90lbs. She is absolutely unrecognizable from 5 months ago. She looks like she's dead and forgot to fall over. Well-nourished??? She vomits constantly. She can't get out of bed. She can't walk. She doesn't have use of her limbs, her bowels, or her body. She has BLATANTLY evident facial drooping, which I guess everyone in backwoods Tennessee is just so used to seeing the ugliness of inbreeding, so you aren't able to recognize it in a formerly healthy patient. When they called about her labs, they told her that her kidney function was "good". I don't know where you people studied, but where I come from, "good" doesnt go from 70s to 50s in less than 3 months and that's GOOD. She was in the 90s prior to moving to Tennessee. You're killing her. And I believe it is on purpose to milk the Medicaid payouts for pointless appointments as long as you can before you do.
She's been treated by other physicians for over 20 years for these ongoing issues. The neuro doc she was referred to will only see her for the botox injections for migraines, but not the neuropathy, not the seizures, not any of the numbness or loss of dexterity, not the tremors, not the complete lack of relexes in her entire body. You can only change neuro docs once or they'll drop you as a patient. The in-home health people they sent 1. Lied about her ability. 2. Downgraded her symptoms 3. released her from care with a 2" knot on her forehead from falling - that's when the severe headaches started, the ones that caused what I believe to be a stroke or TIA. 4. lied about ever being at the house until I stated I had proof of him being there on my home cameras, then they changed their tune. But still, nothing has been done. WE STILL HAVENT SEEN SOMEONE TO RE-EVALUATE! Despite asking no less than 8 times.
She is having EVERY symptom on the ER notes sheet that states "if you have new or worsening symptoms of xyz, go to the ER". We've been to the ER, three times. The first time, they charted "myocardial infaction, possibly old". The next visit to the ER, they just kept her there until they finally tossed her out, but stated that she was "ambulatory" .. she was LYING ON THE FLOOR IN THE WAITING ROOM.
The time we went to NASH for the symptoms that are worsening, bc CANTIERI was still on paternity leave, NASH lied to her face and said that she had hemorrhoids, although astoundingly, he charted it as what it is, a rectal prolapse. Although he misspelled "rectum" in his notes, as "rectom" and had no idea what "lipedema" meant. He actually stated, "I don't know what you want me to do for her". I hope every single one of you people have the EXACT care that you give to patients. I hope every single one of you have a loved one you can't help because you have a doctor JUST LIKE YOU. Worthless wastes of space that I wouldn't trust to keep a pet alive. Can't spell, can't think, bottom of the class barely scraped by, and probably have someone else tie your shoes you're so inept. You all deserve to have your medical licenses revoked.
