My mother died in March. In April I had to have Shoulder surgery because the bone in my shoulder was dying and it needed scraped. The pain doctor Igor to treated me terrible about my surgery and I complained to him about my previous office visit and he had me in a room yelling at me for about 10 minutes. Every time I tried to talk he would yell over me and tell me I wasn't right. I told him I worried for 12 days. He told that it wasn't normal to worry about something that hasn't happen yet. Then all of a sudden he stop yelling at me and he looked at his nurse and said I think she needs physiological help. I knew I better not try to say anything else or he would try to commit me. Then he asked if I made the appointment just to yell at him or was it for my regular visit. I said it is for my regular visit and I want it now. I had been cry the whole time I was in there. He said I had to go back out in the waiting room to cool down. I said I already waited 2 hours and I don't need to cool down. He said if you don 't I do. He left the room and told thenurseto have me go to the waiting room. I told her I wasn't going out there for one reason I was crying. He yelled out if she won't go then call the police. I went out in the room. I told everyone waiting what happened. One guy said he saw the doctor flip and physical throw a man out because he complained about the 2 hour wait. I told him I complained about how I was treated at my last visit. I then went out and called my husband. He came down and we b both went in to get my appointment. I needed to get my regular pain medicine I get from him every month. I said I was there for my appointment. The nurse called me back. She stayed in the room and my husband sat down on a chair. The doctor came in and said stand up to start the examination. The door was open. Which with HIPPA you can't examine someone with the door open. So my husband went over shut the door put his hands in his pockets and said," Before you start I think you owe my wife an apology." He pushed past me grabbed my husband by his shoulders and physically shoved my husband out of the way pushed the door against my husband and yelled "f" you "F" you I'm not apologizing to anyone this is private property get out. Call the police. When the police came he told the police officer he want my husband arrested . The officer told him he couldn't arrest my husband d because he attack my husband. Then he told the office,"I am an ex Army ranger and a Black Belt in Karate and I could have "F" him up if I wanted to."
I can't sleep since then . I tried to find a lawyer the county bar association told me they couldn't find me one because all the ones in the county use this doctor for disability cases. They told me to try a lawyer from a different county, I haven't found one to take my case. I think they wouldn't make much money from it. Then I got a bill from my insurance company where he billed my insurance for an office visit then an extended visit. They told me I would have to pay the $20.00co-pay. I told them they are crazy. I was never examined. They said he had to do 2 out of 3 things. 1 a history review. The nurse did that. 2 and examination, which they agreed they didn't;'t do. 3 medical discion making which my insurance company said because he was planning on giving me pills that was considered to be medical decision making. They called him and he is changing the code on the one office visit. But they are still saying I have to pay the co-pay.Does it make sense that you get thrown out of a doctor office like that and he can bill you and get away with this mess. I am having a terrible time dealing with this. I called my family doctor about getting sleeping pills.
Also my 31 year old son moved back home he has ADD, bi-polar, and sever depression, all I hear from my husband is he doesn't do anything around here.I try to explain to my husband that it is just like having a child born with any other birth defects, it's just you can't see his. But, you can definitely tell them.
I'm sorry my message is so long I just needed to get this all out of my head right now to someone. Thanks for listening. You are great quilting friends.
