Dr. Rita Schulster is a grossly incompetent and dangerous physician.
I've known her for over 20 years but did not need to personally avail myself of her services till 4 April 2020; when I was admitted to Oceanside Community Hospital with severe Covid pneumonia.
A day, after I was admitted, Dr. Rita Schulster tried to coerce me to vacate the hospital without oxygen or medication; citing that there were far worse-conditioned patients than me.
Mind you, I was brought into the hospital by ambulance and oxygen sating at 78! I had been coughing up blood, all weekend and my right lung was riddled with pneumonia.
After successfully preventing her from having me removed, the hospital attempted to prove I was a fraud by testing my walking in my room and checking my O2 saturation, afterward. I walked a few feet, sat down, and was sating at 82!
Luckily, I was kept till April 14 and sent home with oxygen and medication. It took several weeks for a suitable recovery.
Mind you, if I acquiesced to her original discharge planning of April 6, without oxygen or medication, I would have most certainly died or, at the very least, been returned to the hospital in significantly worse condition than the first time I was admitted.
I must point out, her husband, Dr. Paul Schulster, is an eminently far superior pulmonologist and should not have his reputation sullied by his wife's extreme and dangerous incompetence. read more
