A year before I'd had an unscussessful bypasssurgery by a Dr. Salmon, who never spoke or spoke in riddles, I tried Dr. Tucker on the recommendation of a primary care physcian. He told me that the one of the transplanted artery came with a blockage in it so he put a stent in. For the next year, he was on medication which made me nauseated daily. He never accepted responsibility for the nausea nor did he investigage it even when I called his serivce and the oncall dr. sent me to the emergency room because I couldn't stop vomiting. He refused to visit or look into it and his nurse was extrememly rude as I tried to find out what was wrong. The nurse acts as a wall protecitng Dr. Tucker from his patients so I was left to experience a year of constant nausea for absolutely nothing. It stopped after a year, when he took me off the medication. Later I found out the medication was completely unnecessary. He also made a point of letting me know he was Episcopalean. I don't know what that was about but I changed cardiologists, and I stopped seeing doctors who worked out of St. David's South Austin Hospital, which is owned by Hospital Corporation of America, the company owned by the former Republican leader of the Senate. South Austin Hospital shows every evidence of not liking people very much. read more
