before my first surgery i told her office i'm allergic to versed and it causes adverse reactions. hearing this i was reassured we would figure it out. the procedure itself was uncomfortable. i was given versed, restrained by my arms, and told if i fidgeted i could lose my eye.
after this i took concerns to office management. the official response to this is restraints are illegal and it didn't happen. that meds can cause some patients to experience memory fog. i got gaslit!
for the second procedure, the entire staff takes turns laughing about how the rude doctor x was being so funny making fun of me and rolling his eyes during the above surgery. as they laugh.
i got sexualized while being fitted for the intubation mask. 'ricky here is being shy but ricky you're not that sexy.' my documented concerns about meds gets ridiculed and someone says if i have bad reactions i just need a better immune system.
having happened a second time i brought it back to management for both saint francis natalie outpatient surgery and warren clinic opthamology. nothing came from that except a call today dismissing me from care.
these cancellations include oncology, urology, and nephrology. the specialists who have found and removed two cancers and identified a third. i get to start over with my new primary care provider.
i would have completed post operative appointments and obtained a new referral for glaucoma.
this was a horrible experience and what sticks with me is how disrespectful and dismissive they are while pretending otherwise.

(21:42) That's it. (21:43) Anyway. (21:44) I know you're, like... (21:46) I'm going to be a little bit shy. (21:48) Yeah. (21:50) You're not even that sexy, man. (21:51) You don't have to... (21:53) That's it. (21:53) You like that.

this timestamp picks up a:t 44:18 on the recording. the ai transcript tool requires 30 minutes or less truncated. just add 30 minutes to these stamps. sorry about that
(14:18) Well, that was a much better experience (14:20) for everybody involved. (14:22) For everybody involved! (14:29) Oh, my gosh.
(14:32) Just, like, the whole time. (14:34) This isn't working. (14:35) This isn't working.
(14:36) This is shocking. (14:38) Well, it's because she doesn't want it. (14:41) Yeah, I would imagine.
(14:42) That's probably why you didn't really... (14:45) Well, I mean, I wouldn't call it set up that it wasn't. (14:47) Like, even the first time I saw him in the office, (14:49) he was like, (14:50) Rich, that doesn't work for me. (14:51) And I was like, (14:52) okay.
(14:54) Alright, we'll figure this out. (15:00) Yep. (15:01) So, he'll just have to get a recovery system.
(15:26) Yeah, I gave him, like... (15:28) I had to give him a bunch of propofol (15:30) before he might even go off to sleep.
(15:33) I was like, (15:35) holy moly. (15:37) We gave him, like, a good dose. (15:38) What I thought was a good dose.
(15:39) And his eyes were still, like... (15:41) He was still, like, fighting it. (15:45) Yeah. (15:46) You could imagine (15:47) all of a sudden, (15:48) all of a sudden, (15:49) all of a sudden... (15:49) Yeah, you'd have to give him, like, (15:51) probably a triple the dose, (15:52) which they did not last time.
(15:54) So... (15:54) No! (15:55) And... (15:56) Well, I'm telling you, (15:56) they have to, because... (15:59) I know. (16:01) He was never tuned. (16:03) Oh, I'm telling you, you're right.
(16:04) You're getting what you're getting. (16:06) That's exactly right. (16:07) He was just so funny.
(16:09) What did he say? (16:09) He was just... (16:10) I mean, he was rolling his eyes, (16:12) and I honestly don't even remember (16:14) those triple doses. (16:17) Yeah. (16:17) That was so funny.
(16:18) I can imagine that. (16:21) He's like, (16:21) I didn't go through (16:22) half the time after this (16:26) to get... (16:27) Is he... (16:28) Is he... (16:29) We've got a load on track, (16:31) and they work, like, you know... (16:32) Yeah. (16:33) 30 hours or whatever.
(16:34) All right.
