Dr McNicoll had been my parents primary care physician for many, many years and they were very happy with the care they received from him. He was there throughout my moms care back in 2013 but unfortunately she passed away.
Dr. McNicoll found a spot on my dads lung during a routine visit, and ultimately was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2018 and was treated, however it came back with a vengeance a year later. My dad was hospitalized three times from the first week in September until he passed 6 weeks later and Dr. McNicoll never once went to the hospital to see him. Not once in the three separate hospital admissions.
The hospital where my dad was is located directly across the street from Dr. McNicoll's office. Everyday I went to see my dad, I would ask the nurse if Dr. McNicoll had been in to see him and they always said no, I asked the attending physician if he had been in to see him and they told me he had been contacted but hasn't been in.
He was my dads physician all these years and he never once went to see him.
I work in healthcare and I have never known a primary care physician to not see their patient who has been admitted to the hospital. To this day, I still don't know why he never stepped across the street to see his patient who trusted him for all those years with his care. read more
