Patient
My last visit was several months ago. My visit was less than friendly to say the least. I felt like the whole reason for the visit was to get me to do a CT Scan which can only be done every 2 years. I opted out. The result was going to be the same. When I started asking questions he was polite enough to answer them initially but as you know with a heart condition, one answer may lead to another question and beyond. So, when that 3rd question came around based on his answers from the previous questions, he went ballistic on me. Lunged at my face and started lambasting me for asking to many questions, about my heart health condition. I thought I was gonna have to physically defend myself. Then he went on a small diatribe about how I ask too many questions and how he has patients dying in the hospital meaning these questions you are asking are meaningless against the back drop of these other critical patients dying/fighting for their lives at the main hospital. We both were at that point not happy with each other. I then thought well if you have all these other patients that are a lot more critical than me, then why on earth are you here seeing me and not attending to them? You could have had your office call me and rescheduled. So, if you want a Cardio Doc where you don't ask to many questions and you just listen and do what you are told, then this is your doctor. Me, I like to take an active part in the only body I have. I don't think there is a parts department where I can trade it in somewhere and get a replacement.
