Recently ,I found out that after losing my insurance for three years (medicaid) when I went to the doctor(lame description) they had somehow misplaced all my records.Even the lame doctor who I saw said she was aghast about the whole thing..PLEASE! She was a horrible doctor!
Lost my Medicaid years ago when my doctor(halfway decent for a Medicaid doc) ordered an MRI and it looked like I was was going to cost some money.I got cut off that that (snap)
Back to last month..
This doctor was so bad all I wanted was my records so I could take them and flee in hopes of finding a good doctor.
Now when I call I am told I have to pay a dollar per sheet to get what is mine,
I said "have you found my record's " and I get Mamm ,you are not listening to me ! It is a dollar per sheet and I say I have it and then I get put on hold and then disconnected.
Always!!
The bottom line is they lost my records.
Basically a free clinic with doctors who don't know their a$$ from a hole in the ground.
What can I do ?
I cant afford to pay for my records and I wonder what happened to them?
According to this new Doc I saw(lamest of the lame) she is having a big discussion with the administration about that.
This place is horrible!
The first thing is do no harm,they have done me much harm ,many times,I'm talking unnecessary surgery.Bad medicine that could have killed me.These people are horrible!
The list is endless.
Maybe I should contact the AG'S office but any other thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks and thanks for the rant! I could say so much more!
Yeah, I've seen that one. I won't be a member there, that's fo sho!!
That a girl!
I think I got a bug from them,my comp has been acting weird since I went to their site.
Thanks for your help and support,its means alot ,your a good egg

Arty - My mother was a private duty nurse for too many years. Many times she would have to pull the doctor aside and tell him outright that his order for drugs could possibly kill the patient if administered under his orders as he had prescribed too much!! Mom saved many a poor soul in the hospital as she cared and knew her medicine. Nurses are much better than doctors any day of the week as they actually care. Few doctors nowadays actually care as they've disassociated themselves from the patients.
If I sound harsh about doctors, I'm sorry. I've met some doozies myself in my time who happily misdiagnosed me several times. That's why I stopped going to them. I'd rather risk messing myself up than actually paying them cold, hard cash to have them mess me up. Cheaper that way I guess.
The idea about contacting the licensing agency will definitely help the facility somehow "find" your recorsd. Betcha they were misfiled under someone else's name in their folder. They really aren't missing - just misfiled and the record girls will probably have to search through tons of file folders to find yours. Keep after them though!!
Sorry Twinkie...gotta spread the love. But I too have had to question doctor's orders on several occasions. We, at the hospital, are with the patients 24/7 and we learn the dynamics of the patient as well as the two pages of medications they are taking. We know what interacts with what and whether or not the pt is allergic to certain meds.
Luckily, in my unit, we work as a team for the best of the patient. I have a wonderful OB that I work with that trusts my intuition and lets me suggest treatment options before ordering treatments.
