You let a poor, kind woman suffer immensely for the last couple months of her life
My mom died a painful death from metastatic cancer because the your hospital and ER doctor couldn't be bothered to do a thorough analysis of my mother after she had been hospitalized twice within a month. The first time she went, i told them what I thought it may be, and they didn't even do any testing to check. Her bloodwork was all over the place, and her liver function was clearly being affected, but they couldn't be bothered to look into it further. There were lesions found on her liver during the second visit and NOTHING WAS SAID TO US ASIDE FROM FOLLOW UP WITH YOUR DOCTOR. SHAME ON YOU. While I recognize she likely would have died anyways, you couldn't be bothered to ACTUALLY LISTEN TO HER CHIEF COMPLAINT AND CARE. She was in massive amounts of pain for the last few months of her life no thanks to you telling her she was just getting old and to take a naproxen (almost literally word for word). There is a SERIOUS problem with health care. As a worker myself, I KNOW those doctors are packing their schedules to get more money. I get that people misuse the emergency room and it's irritating. I get that you can just get in the habit of going through the motions. BUT THAT SHOULD NOT EFFECT YOUR LEVEL OF CARE REGARDLESS. TO REITERATE.... SHAME ON YOU. I hope you take a good look and figure out how you can improve your patient quality of care. You let a poor, kind woman suffer immensely for the last couple months of her life and I will NEVER forgive you for that.
