Do they HAVE to examine you when you ask them to?

As some of you will remember, in September an Alfa Romeo drove over my left foot. As this happened when I left the school, this accident is filed as an 'industrial accident' ( is that really the term?), which causes much paper-work. This morning I had to take the train to another city to see a doctor, who had to take a look at this foot to see if it had healed or not.

I entered and said 'My foot is ok, it was only badly bruised'. He said 'Ok, I'll report that and say they can close this case.' He didn't take a look at it.

As I've been coughing my lungs out during the last three days and had a fever yesterday I asked him if he could take a look at that. He answered very rudely 'Girlie, you really think I have time for this BULLSHIT?? Now get out'. He opened the door and I left. I think I had been inside for no more than two minutes.

Any doctor who would speak to a patient in that tone, and use that language to a patient, AND refuses to acknowledge a patient's questions or concerns about their health, IMO should be reported.

plus the fact he didn't even look at your foot -- WHICH WAS THE TECHNICAL REASON FOR YOUR VISIT - shows he's not a physician of any integrity or worth.

who arranged this appointment for you? your insurance company or your place or employment..? i sure hope he's not your regular doctor because, if he is, my advice would be find another doctor who actually gives a damn about your well-being and who shows you the respect you deserve. geez, he didn't even give you common COURTESY, speakign to you the way he did.

sorry for the rant. but i've dealt with enough asshole, pompous shithead doctors in my life that this sort of thing makes me see red.

seriously, i'd report him. he had no right to treat you like he did, and he didn't even perform what he SHOULD'VE done -- i.e. examine your foot.

i hope you feel better soon and your fever and cough goes away.

He should be reported and not be so bloody rude , you should find yourself a new Doctor.

Oh, I would LOVE to report him, but I really HATE the paper-work that will probably come along with it.

Seriously, I've filled out at least 20 different documents. For nothing, because the only cost I ever made was this only visit to the hospital on the day itself. I spent at least 20 hours running from the hospital to the police-staion, to the school, to the insurance-company, you wouldn't believe.

Now this. I can't believe his rudeness, but I'd like to close this annoying case for ever.

I was just wondering... I think it is against the ethical code of a doctor, what he did. If he's a doctor anyway. His office looked like a doctor's office, at least.

Btw, I don't really know who organized this appointed, one of the many parties involved, I guess it was the department of education, something like that.

I'm just pissed I had sit on a train for two hours, to visit a doctor I don't know, who turned out to be this month's asshole.

This is funny ,Doctor's are such assholes !

sounds like a quack ... dont go back and find another

one that is worth the $ you pay them

i remember a really shitty doctor i had when i lived in new york...

i had a really horrible case of fatigue and i didn't know why, so i went to this new doctor.

when she saw me, the first thing she said was, "what do you think is wrong?"

i told her i didn't know.

she then said, "so why are you here?"

When I'd had my spleen ruptured one of my lungs was punctured, causing fluid to fill up in it. A week after getting out from hospital the pain of the fluid was REALLY bad and I had no idea what was happening, so I went to see the local doc. First off he was south american, with a really bad accent so it was hard to hear what he said. I explained to him about the spleen injury but he ignored that as the reason, instead he honed in on whether or not I'd had my period lately He was asking all kinds of questions like how much I was bleeding, how many tampons I use a day I kept telling him "it's not hurting down there!!" but he kept going. Eventually I walked out to talk to a nurse instead but I fell down cos the pain was that bad. I went to the ER and got my "regular" doc, who'd done the surgery on me...

the hell, asking about my period when my lung is hurting?

They say there are no stupid questions, but in this case, I disagree!

again

What a jerk!!!

Did u choose him or was he assigned to u?

He probably thinks you're faking it just so you can have a case and he doesnt want to deal with it.

He was assigned to me.

i forgot, there's more to the story.

she ended up diagnosing me with lyme disease.

i thought she was wrong and a quack, so i got a new doctor and had him check me out. i didn't have lyme disease.

This topic reminds me of a terrible doctor we have here. His name is Dokter Sorgheloose, which means Doctor Noworries in English.

I went there one time, because I had a terrible head-ache, caused by a very low blood-pressure. He gave me all kinds of medicin, against lung-infection, depression,...

People don't come twice there, unless they want a day off at work or they because he's some kind of local drug-dealer. Heavy shit he deals

Very sad and dangerous, actually.
