Have any of you ever had a bad falling out with a doctor, along with the yelling and everything?

Yes when those bastards let my baby die.
Why what happened?
Seraya.


No. It wouldn't have accomplished anything. I did threaten the president of the hospital with a lawsuit and got full reimbursement.





only the one that i dated for a few years.... and my two neighbours when we get shitfaced drunk and argue about stoopid shit for entertainment... oh, and the one who caused my existence.
otherwise... no.
what happened?





About 3 weeks ago I was admitted to a mental health hospital because I arrived in an ER in a "canatonic" state due to stress from the passing of a loved one. I came out of it in about 2 hours and never wanted to harm myself in ANY way before, during, or after the ordeal. I told the doctors and the social worker for the mental hospital this over 70 times. The social worker convinced me to go voluntarily to the hospital, and that I could leave at any time, I wouldn't have things taken away from me, etc. She spent 2 hours on the phone with the insurance.
I finally get there and find out there are not beds in the grief unit (where she promised I would be) for atleast 3 weeks and I was stuck with the alcoholics unit. I do not have a problem with narcotics nor alcohol. The patients there sexually harrassed me by touching me, grabbing me, pushing me, and verbally threatening and suggesting we should do sexual things. I told the nurses and they did nothing. I even had a patient obessesd with me. After this I went to the front to go ahead and leave and they said I couldn't because I was admitted under suicide, which I later found out was only said so my insurance would pay for it. Like I said before, in no way or form (and I have witnesses) did I say I wanted to harm myself nor did I in the past, and the ER doctor saw no purpose to commit me and did not feel I was a danger to myself. So basicly at this point I was stuck since they could put me on a 96 hour hold if I tried to leave since I was under suicide watch.
I finally talked to my assigned doctor and he mentioned things in my record that I didn't even say, like I was held against my will as a sex slave for 6 months at age 14 (I was going to school etc so that doesn't make sense) and he would not answer where he got the information from nor did he let me see my record at all. I stayed in there 4 days until I finally got discharged when I saw a new doctor who saw no need for me to be there. It was the worst 4 days of my life, constantly being harrassed, in the wrong area, etc.





One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go

That's the short story. There's soooooo much more but it makes me so upset to even think about it. It makes me feel like I was raped by those men.

I would efing sue, that is sick! It is also ilegal for them to withold your medical file. They did the same thing with me when I was pregnant admitted me to the ICU when I shouldn't have even been there. I was kept as a prisoner and I am convinced that the stress is what made me go in to labor at 5months.
I have had problem after problem with doctor's and hospital staff in the US. The system is corrupt and all about money.
Anyway Im sorry to hear about what happened to you hun.. how are you coping now?
Seraya.
Oh yeah - one snivelling little git with an attitude who refused to treat my friend who was actually quite seriously sick. The receptioist also was a bitch. As I was franticly trying to sort through my friends purse for her medicare and health care cards, I was told to not put things on the counter. I tell you if looks could kill that woman would have dropped. I didnt shout and scream so much as quite firmly use the f & c words a few times as I said something smart-arsed about hyporcrites and the Hippocratic Oath. The guy was a dick, I found out later he is know for being a dick.





I cry about it a lot. I feel so violated. I'm contacting a few laywers around here to see what can be done.





Fucking hell SC - thats terrible! I agree with Seraya, look into taking legal action. Particularly if there is faulse shit on your file - you dont want that coming back to bite you on the arse at a later date! I hope you're ok sweety, what happened sounds absolutly terrifying!





Yup I'm contacting lawyers. There was no reason to treat me like this. According to the men I was the only attractive young girl in there, so I was fair game.
Fuck guys I'm sorry for ranting, but I feel so violated. I cry so hard about it. I had guys telling me to suck their cocks, take it up the ass, it was all I was good for, etc. I feel so raped, and this place was supposed to help me deal with my little brother's suicide.





You have to go back to the administration office and obtain copies of your medical file. Record everything that happened with dates times etc. this is what I had to do. I was given really great advice when I lost my baby... you can do a search if you want.. I still find it painful to read that thread but I was given really great advice by the member's here on what to do and who to contact.
Gosh Im so sorry that you had to go through this. I hope you seek justice.
Seraya.





I don't mean to bring up painful memories, but what happened with you? Did you get a settlement, apology, etc?










It's ok hun. I'm STILL waiting for the autopsy report. I'm told that I have to wait for this to come back before anything can go ahead because it will be important to the case. I'm lucky that I got everything in my file though it looks really bad on them they fucked up big time. (not realy sure how much I can say so I wont go in to details just in case y'kow)
I'm in therapy for it now which is helping some but I'll never ever get over it.
You should definitely contact an attorney, ASAP. For such strange case as yours, you could probably find an attorney to work pro bono even. This has "class action" written all over it. Do you think anyone else went through what you did?





Josie: I'm not sure. Not to sound conceited, but all the other women were over 35 and in pretty bad shape from alcohol/drug abuse, so I was basicly a fresh 18 yo girl so I basicly got all the abuse, so I don't think the other girls were really bothered by the men.





Man that is nasty. I know suicide hits hard, but still.... ending up there. In the end I have no words. Between yours Seraya's experiences if am truly beginning to fear this system.

I'll go into further about my Dr. from hell. Basicly because I even sat down he said I need 3 weeks inpatient here, and he knew me better than I knew myself, yes he actually said this. He said I'd be in and out of hospitals for the rest of my life if I didn't listen to him. He also said I had bipolar because I spoke too fast (yeah, because I was freaking out about the false shit on my record and scared as hell), and put me on a drug combo of about 6 meds. He even put me on an anti nightmare drug AFTER I told him I had no problem with nightmares.





If you know lawyers in the field, great. If you don't, there's ways to find decent ones. The Yellow Pages ain't the right way. Malpractice cases are high-dollar, high-risk, so you need to pick carefully. Good luck.
In my business ethics class, I just learned that American doctors almost always upcode and overdiagnose, especially if you have good health insurance so they can make more money. That's why he wanted you to stay in there for weeks and put you on drug combos that were absolutely unneccesary. These fucking doctors are a trip. I am gonna try to live as healthy as possible so I have to see them as little as possible. Good luck with everything, honey. And you need a bulldog lawyer.
