What is the deal with doctors recently?
Why am I unable to find honest doctors since I was very young? Neither can my family. I would like to provide a few examples:
Jefferson University Hospital lost my father’s spinal tap results. Let me just explain what this means. Imagine that you had to undergo excruciating pain and all the lovely ways that the body reacts to such for two weeks so someone could evaluate the chemistry of a certain part of your body. You sign up to this because it is real important to know those results. Then after the entire ordeal of loss of work, loss of money, and the aformentioned suffering, they tell you they are having trouble locating the results and it was all for nothing.
My recent letter to Aetna regaurding my wife should explain the next instance:
A false, possibly fraudulent, item was charged by Dr. Harrer’s office listed as surgery for $600. There was no service provided that could possibly match this item. No X-Ray was taken and no surgery was performed. As a matter of fact, no service was provided other than a cursory exam, at best, and the application of a cast. The cast was applied so carelessly that it caused a subsequent visit to a second orthopedist for infection and recasting only ten days later.
Profession of medicine, I shake my head at thee.
