Dr. Maffei and Dr. Grover, and partners missed pericardial effusion, infected pericardium, pericarditis, cardiac tamponade, cardiac tachycardia. 24 years ago I was near death, pale, my breathing labored, distended carotid arteries, losing weight in my 6th and 7th month of pregnancy. They attributed this to my being an 'older mother', what is called 'geriatric pregnancy', at 36 y.o.
I was soon in the ER, had an x-Ray, which was sent to my GP. Saw my GP soon after, who saw a large shadow around my heart, and heard a pericardial 'rub' through stethoscope. Sent to cardiologist who scheduled surgery immediately. Had emergency heart surgery in 7 1/2 month of pregnancy to cut a pericardial window and drain infection around my heart. All because these STUPID vapid self centred "doctors" didn't listen to my complaints or ever do a proper examination, me and my baby almost died! To think that Dr. Maffei is STILL practicing and missing diagnoses!!! OMG! read more
