January 9, 2023, I was in for Ovarian Cancer Ultrasound due to family history with Cancer. 2nd part of the ultrasound was next, I walked back into the exam room; During the ultrasound, she failed to use lubricating gel when she started inserting the transducer probe. I recall during the exam it was so painful I could feel the vaginal ultrasound end cavity probe transducer move inside. It was extremely painful & displeased due to ongoing distress. I felt the move back and forth through my ovaries and uterus cavity. I proceeded with placing both hands in my abdominal area to relief some of the excruciating pain and pushing both hands down my abdomen, to relieve the discomfort. I expanded both knees and legs to ease the pain. I was holding my breath and tears and was devastated, & a long painful process the time was forever, unacceptable! I realized something was wrong since the pain continued & could feel so much pain. I did not want to cry or scream this would make her stress, she was already having a difficulty of her own, & frustrated. "Do you really think I want to experience another ultrasound defiantly not in my lifetime. I assumed she did not have the expertise, or the ultrasound was not working appropriately. The ultrasound machine was having technical difficulties. It was not working right so my examination was extra, extra-long. She should have gotten another machine as a substitute. Another option is that the sonographer was having her own difficulties due to her lack of ability proficiency, which is also wrong and should've gotten another sonographer to finish my exam. "Final Report US Pelvis w/Transvaginal result date 1-9-23. Duplex Doppler exam was attempted but no flow could be detected by to be due to technical reasons." I informed her she needed to finish because I did not want to come back for another ultrasound, due to my trauma, pain, & suffering. I questioned her if she was almost done & her response was, I'm so sorry I know how painful I just had mine done too. After the ultrasound is completed, she walked away from the exam room. I changed my clothing, and I noticed the ultrasound image computer was on screen. The sonographer failed to exit the computer. It is her responsibility to alt control delete the computer for the privacy of the patients' rights. I notice on the left side of the computer my name and, ordering Physician in CAP letters, with MR# or account#. Working in Healthcare for so many years, were educated to shut down the computer when we walk away from the desk, at home, office, or any INP or OP hosp. HIPPA Regul & GL we never know who will walk into the room by accident to glance at PHI information. I observed a total of 75, 76 video clips, some had blue and red markings, others had red X on the monitor. As a patient I was traumatized, with the horrible ultrasound performed, was extremely painful, violated by seeing the video, imagining the worst that I had CA based on the red X's on the images. My REC to Mr. Rosberg, during my meeting with him in his office on 3-2-23, is to turn the monitor against the wall, my observation. His response is a good REC. They cannot alt control the computer this will delay the process for the next patient. Self-evidently where is the patient's integrity, for PHI? See below google search? What are 5 examples of PHI? Can't list limited the writing: I sat outside in my car parking lot for 30 minutes, crying, with pain I endured of the trauma. When I arrived home, I endured a severe (UTI). I called my doctor the same day. The next day he prescribed Nitrofurantoin Mono 100 mg for the next 6 days every 12 hours. On Friday, 1-13-23, evening at 5:00 p.m., I had a fever & starting urinating eight times within an hour, on 1-14 @ 5:00 p.m. I contacted my physician & suggested to go to ER. I've reported to UHG, nurses line, I'm an employee for UHG for 23 yrs. I know my patient rights and I am advocating for myself & other Pt who are treated here. UHG has communicated with me twice a month for with outcome. I understand working for this Co, they will take action and review the ongoing case it's been recorded on my file, with all medical expenses. I arrived at ER Sharp CV Ctr @ 17:28, was discharged @ 23:52, treated by Dr. Villani. I was DC with the following meds Cephalexin, docusate, Ondansetron, oxycodone-acetaminophen, phenazopyridine. I have had to follow-up with PCP, OBGYN, and physical therapy due to "Dyspareunia with ongoing pain" At home I did not want to administer Oxycodone- my doctor prescribed Naproxen 500 for pain. Upon DC I asked the MD what attributes to this her response was the manipulation of the ultrasound. The ED bill is 14K, I'm now responsible for 4K. I will be report the complaints, to CA Dept of Managed Care, & Medical Board. I'll never go to this facility! I'm now suffering from PTSD, due to the long internal vaginal manipulation. read more
