I was admitted to the hospital overnight because I thought I was having a heart attack. The experience I went through was terrifying, and I desperately needed answers. All my vitals were normal, but they wanted to monitor me overnight and give me a stress test in the morning. I dealt with an ER doctor, a cardiologist, and several nurses who were ALL tremendous and wonderful. Unfortunately, I was stuck with Dr. Hosein as my "observing" physician. He came to see me in the middle of the night. I was exhausted, and not thinking clearly because I had to wake up to speak with him. I explained everything that had happened, all my symptoms, and because it was early January, I told him that I may have had a little too much over New Year's (you know, like the REST OF THE WORLD!!!) I told him every little detail I could think of, including my extreme premenstrual pain that requires me to take vicodin (that I have a prescription for, of course) and I told him in detail about my blood clotting disorder, and explained how carefully I manage my health, by testing my own blood weekly or more frequently if necessary. I told him everything, every detail, because I wanted to find out what the hell had happened to me. It's possible I rambled a bit, because like I said, I was exhausted. They had also given me ativan, to help calm my racing heart. The next morning, when I was discharged, I was eagerly awaiting some sort of assessment of my condition, some information, anything. The nurse brought me Dr. Hosein's discharge instructions. They were: "SEEK DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE COUNSELING." He talked to me for 15 minutes and wrote me off as a middle-aged junkie. His discharge instructions set me off into another panic attack (which, I'm guessing, is what had happened to me). I am a social drinker, and I take vicodin to control monthly hormonal fluctuations because I can't take hormones with a blood clotting disorder. I am NOT addicted to it. In fact, my tox screens for opiates, marijuana, cocaine, etc. etc. etc. all came back NEGATIVE. This doctor is a cold, misogynistic asshole who doesn't give a shit. Avoid him at all costs. read more
