1 /5 Nikolay Nenko: I am not sure where to start. I have never been 86th out of a doctors office and told that I am a bad patient, that is until today.
I went to to this man, I would hardly call a Doctor, because I have had a horrible low back pain, accompanied with stabbing, pins, needles, numbness and every other symptom. I cannot sleep at night because my feet, legs, thighs and muscles ache, twich, stab and just plainly hurt all night. Ibuprofen and Tylenol wont even touch the discomfort and pain anymore.
So, I went to see this doctor.
First and foremost: I have seen him as my personal family doctor for about 2 years now, give or take.
Today when he walked in my room he did not remember who I was, so he asked for my name and Birthday. I gave him both. Then he asked me if I was Russian, to which I said no. He mumbled something that appeared to be a small talk and then to.my surprise he asked me again for my name and birthday. He visually did nor remember asking me the same thing just 5 sentences earlier. When I laughed and told him that he had just ssked me that, he did not remember it. Strange, to say the least.
Then he asked me what brought me there. I told him that I had few concerns to talk about and started with my low back pain. I explained that I need an MRI because my condition had deteriorated since my last MRI and I asked for another one so they could compare the two and see the reason behind the worsening of my condition. He said: NO! Amongst other things, we.got in bit of push and shove, which he did not like and started to accuse of being a bad patient and not following his orders.
I dont want to go into details of my condition, but when I told him that I had an eye infection for which I have been taking antibiotics for, he cut me.off and without hesitation or even getting out of his chair, he told me "no you dont". I then told him that it has caused my eye lid to droop, he said that,Yes he can see my eyelid drooping a little but there was no infection and then started telling me that I am running out of time and I will have reschedule my appointment. When I mentioned a third reason for my visit he got pissed and told me that I should look for another doctor and with a very agressive tone in his voice ended.my vist saying that he will.ask the facilities to refund my copay for the visit. He was very rude and did not listen to my concerns to help, but rather to tell.me I was a bad patient and he wants a ....divorce.
I left very disappointed by his attitude and inability to listen a patient!
