Patient
Dr. Campbell appeared to be an excellent Dr. My sister finally received her heart on September 1st of last year. There were complications after complications for her, which I assume was just part of the process. She was finally able to come home in January and was doing remarkably well. However, 3 weeks later she was admitted back to get a feeding tube. Everything was downhill from there. She developed sepsis and placed on life support. After she overcame that we thought she was going in the right direction. That is until another Dr pulled me to the side. He wanted to know what we were being told. I told him. He shook his head and said none of this is good. I didn't fully understand what he was talking about. He just said we need to request a meeting. In addition, I asked Dr. Campbell's partner and she confirmed what this Dr said. She said there have been conversations had that she wasn't going to make it by other drs but that no one has said it is all. Campbell made it seem like the other dr didn't know what he was talking about. After the meeting with him, my mom, and nephew we knew she wasn't out of the woods but felt like maybe she will be ok. Fast forward. So weeks later my sister went from the CCU unit to the LTAC unit, which was a complete disaster. Dr Sadiq didn't care about her at all or the concerns we as a family had. My sister went to doing physical therapy on a Tuesday to bed bound in a matter of days when she was up there. Long story short she was sent to cvicu. Let me say I do think Dr Campbell and his team worked hard for my sister. I appreciate everything they did for her. However, the last few weeks it just didn't feel like it. We were not given all the information regarding her health issues. We knew things were bad but we just didn't know how bad. We received the death cert and it was revealed that she had sepsis again. Dr Campbell never mentioned that to us. We just thought it was issues with her bowels. It makes me wonder what else we didn't know. I think it's ashame that we didn't know that she had contracted sepsis before her death. He went over everything but that on the day she died. We depended on him and the staff to fully communicate with us because my sister was unable to. Why did we not know she had sepsis again? How long did she have it? Was she treated for it? Was it not treatable? That's very strange to me. In all honesty, I knew things weren't going to be like all the other times. They were treating her as a hospice patient, wanted us to meet with palliative care, they were giving her morphine almost a week before she passed that I'm aware, maybe longer. I told my mom all they were doing is making her comfortable. What I didn't like is the day before she died Dr Campbell comes in the room and asks if she's still fighting. At this point he had to have known that she wasn't going to make it. Or maybe he just found out everything the day of her death. Who knows, because nothing was fully communicated with us. My major gripe with him is that he tells half truths, leaves out pertinent information. He wasn't honest with us like he should have been. I feel like if she hadn't died from what's on the death certificate she probably would've died anyway. It was already said back in March that there were talks about her not making it. My sister went to the hospital and got sicker. On the day we got the call that she wasn't going to make it she was so tearful because she wanted to live. My mind has been uneasy since May 9th, 2025. You can't be a good Dr without being an honest Dr.
