Patient
This guy Dr K Wade did the unimaginable on 5/2/23. He was the physician for my Aunt at Glenwood Hosp for approximately 3 weeks. She passed away for a reason that I don't believe it was solely because of infection and age. We went through that several times and she survived each time. That's the first thing they like to say, because they are old. Paper work only says what has been written on it by somebody. This man intentionally avoided signing her death certificate and for what reason I never was told. I tried to make contact with him and was unsuccessful only after he avoided responding to the funeral home several attempts to contact him. All he had to do was sign off on a computer. I was informed by the Ouachita Coroner's office that it was Dr Wade's responsibility to sign off and that it could be seen on their system that it was at his office. Vital Records called Dr Wade's office while I was on the phone and informed his receptionist that it was vital for him to sign off on the death certificate and informed the lady that it was his responsibility and it should had been signed already. This was 3 months after my Aunt's death. I called his office and 2 of the major hospitals where he worked to make contact and was not able to contact him. He was always out at lunch with the office manager or just not in the office period. After her death a nurse from Glenwood Rehabilitation returned my call, I had left a message for this one particular nurse to call me becuz I wanted to thank them for caring for my Aunt, and the nurse asked me something that literally blew my mind, I was asked did she die peaceable. How would I know, I was not there. What the heck, I asked why would you ask me that? They really didn't answer either. I had found out that he was really a hospice doctor, but heck I never gave a written consent to put her on hospice, although they wanted send her home on hospice nor did I give a verbal consent. It was humiliating to have to go back and forth trying to usurp the little authority I had. She had no children and no husband and this was crazy as heck to run down a doctor that was her primary doctor while in the facility. She didn't know this man prior to being hospitalized, he was recommended by a home health practitioner who apparently knew what area this man specialized, so she deceived us as well. She knew my Aunt's feelings about hospice. Everything went south after all of Medicare/Medicaid money had been used up and it was time to be discharged. I would never under no circumstances recommend Dr Wade to no human being for healthcare. I had never experienced such sudden rejection for no apparent reason on behalf of a love one whom had been treated by a doctor. He called to get my permission to be able to perform surgeries to suck Medicare to be paid. He called me the same evening before she passed to tell me that he was giving her a medicine to elevate her blood pressure and then that next morning she passed and he disappeared. That made me wonder and then refused to sign her death certificate. A blind person would feel that. It was sickening and stressful to have to attempt to run down a doctor whom I spoke with and gave permission for 2 major surgeries on the same woman that he refused to sign off on. I like to give anybody a benefit of doubt but this experience a lesson that everybody don't have your health in best interest. No more money to be made so it didn't matter anymore. Just like it took him that long to not respond, it took me this long to post a concern that I pray no other family member would have to experience. It upheld a whole lot of vital things that had to be taken care of. And why? While he come in at late hours singing church songs to his patients when they can sense him not caring for them. That's why my Aunt told him on her death bed, I don't wanna sing no church songs. She knew but was too weak to say cuz she was an out spoken lady. Baby, she would of read him his rights and sent him out of her room quicker than he came in there. The Most High Yah is going to deal with him.
