WARNING: this is a long, yet educational post and maybe a little TMI for some men. But if you care at all about the opposite sex. Wife. Mother. Sister. Etc. you will read this post. I know I am not the only woman that gets a UTI from a urinalysis done by a cath. I personally am very allergic to certain things, latex being one. HAD this done required by my doctor at St. Dominics before my surgery for my baclofen pump, for my debilitating spasms. I am not able to do my therapy other speach which I have NO voice anymore but thank you Kacee,for your precious patience with me. Not only did the Dr. " Summers Eve" AKA John Adrian Lancon fire me as a patient for Paul explaining that to him. He then promised to find another Dr. to do the surgery. Paul gets a call 1 hr later to find out that NO dr at what SHOULD be called "Lucifer's den" unfortunately is still considered a Saintly named hospital. But is by far the crock of BULLSHIT I have ever encountered. I am now literally screwed, blued,& tattooed. To be continued but thus far health care is a JOKE. Sooner or later, every primary care physician runs into patients who inspire thoughts of dismissal from the practice. Missed appointments, never happened,chronic lateness, drug-seeking behavior, never happened, belligerent attitudes, never happened, and refusal of treatment II had the Damn cath done! But what ever it can obviously cause a strain on a physician-patient that knows is a female and the other only ACTS like a dick. to the breaking point. But although if a dismissal is not carried out in accordance with state laws, they may find themselves facing charges of patient abandonment as well as disciplinary action from their state medical board I sure would not like to go that route, but I am damn sure fed up with living THIS life. I would not let him treat my fur babies much less anymore I care about. He was my Dr 8 years ago and I never went back to see him because of his cocky attitude, and I was reminded of that as well as my family and friends. read more
