Aggravation

It must be the day for being aggravated with doctors.

The Queen Mothers doctor just called me.
He was returning a call I made Last Thursday from the nursing home, the skilled nursing home, where patients are treated like family, with the additional privilege of paying them 5000.00 a month.

This doctor saw my mom, last Monday, he was late and she was mad.
In fact the last conversation I had with her, she hung up on me.
She did this when ever I said something she didn’t like, in this case it was he’s a doctor cut him some slack.
I would normally wait till the following day, when she had calmed down and discuss things with her. I didn’t have that opportunity this time.

He said she was not sick when he saw her, she was complaining about not feeling well,, she didn’t need chest x-rays, she had a fever, was on oxygen, cause she was having some slight breathing difficulties, was coughing allot, but didn’t need antibiotics.
She was dead 36 hours later from a massive untreated pneumonia.

I used the words the emergency room doctor, put in her chart, part of which were the words Criminal negligence.
I asked him if he was on a different planet.
I asked him if he was really a licensed doctor.

He told me he would be glad to meet with me next week to discuss my concerns.

I hung up before I told him off, I feel pretty good about my self control.
