Sorry, I just need to vent out some anger, frustration, tears and a few screams!
I am so angry and upset I dont even know what to say or do. I have never heard of such immoral, unprofessional, inhuman behavior in my life.
The first week of December I spoke with my lupus doctor and told him I was pregnant and my OBGYN asked me to touch base with him. He sent me for some bloodwork( Dec 10th) and told me to call in a few days for the results. I waited 4 days and called and spoke to his nurse, who told me not all of the results were in yet, and to call back. I also asked her when he wanted me to follow up with him in the office.
For the remainder of the month, I called a total of 4 times and no one returned any of my calls. I called again yesterday with no return call and again today demanding an answer for such unprofessional behavior. His nurse got on the telephone and told me your results were put in the mail yesterday !!?? ONE MONTH LATER!! When I asked why he has not returned my call to discuss my results I was told "he does not want to talk to you. You have not been here for a year, and if you want to talk to him you will have to come to the office to do so." She actually brought me to tears on the telephone.I have been his patient for over 6 years and never caused or experienced any kind of problem. Not to mention a CASH patient, as he does not accept any insurance. I dont understand why they just didnt tell me to come in a month ago, especially since I did ask when he wanted me to come in. And why bother sending me for the labs if he didnt want to treat me? I just dont get it.
So I am being penalized because I have been healthy for the past year..go figure!
I have already had the lab forward the results to my OBGYN because I got tired of waiting and some of the results were elevated. I think it is completely immoral for a doctor to knowingly not tell you when you have abnormal lab results, especially being pregnant and all. I cant believe he has put $$dollars before patient care.
I feel insulted and unimportant. Never before has a doctor treated me so terribly.
Anyhow, thanks for the space to vent. Maybe my hormones are making me more upset, but this whole situation has really blown my mind.
