High Desert Medical Group Fiasco
July 2010 See Dr. Win about pain under rib cage and legs sciatic nerve. She pokes a little on my stomach and doesn’t find anything. Pain ends up easing enough that I thought it was gone.
8-29-2010 Visit to Urgent Care for severe pain under left rib cage – Xrays were taken, blood work and urine were done. Results come back negative. Doctor Patel barely pokes on my stomach, allows nurse to give me pain shot in the rear and I am sent home to contact my primary care physican.
8-30-2010 I go in to see Dr. Win and she at least pokes a little harder but then orders The same tests that were ran the day before (waste of insurance money in my book) then tries to tell me that she can order tests but it’s going to take awhile because they have to be approved. I explain that this is unacceptable that I am still in pain and we need to find out what it is. She first tries to tell me to go back to Urgent Care. I then tell her that no I will not go back to urgent care because they will send me back to her. She then tells me to goto Renassance Imagine for a Stat CT scan and then to go home and wait for a call. I get a phone about 4:00 p.m. that day saying that the CT Scan showed nothing. I said ok what’s next. I am not faking the pain it is real and it’s there and we need to find out what it is. Dr. Win has a very thick oriental accent and is almost impossible to understand over the phone, but I though I heard her say that an EDG had been ordered and was approved but they were waiting on an appointment. I received no call later that day for the scheduled appointment.
8-31-2010 8:00 a.m. I called and talked to Maria in Dr. Win’s office. I explained that I was in pain when Dr. Win called me the day before and I have a hard
Time understanding her on the phone and that I wanted her to find out what the next steps were or what we were waiting on and let me know.
She said she would find out and call me back.
At about 10:15 I called Dr. Win’s office back and got the receptionist. I explained about what I was waiting for etc. She put me on hold and came back and said to contact Dr. Win in a couple of weeks. To which I exclaimed loudly that was Not Acceptable that I am missing work and I am in pain and need answers. She sent a message to the nurse.
I then turned around and called Blue Cross to try and find out if they could help me out. They got in touch with Maria and found out that an Ultrasound and EDG had been approved and they were waiting on Appointments. I should not have to call Blue Cross to get that information. That I would get a call within the hour. I got a call around 11:00 a.m. from Nicki (appointment setter) saying they couldn’t do the ultrasound till 9/2. I again said that is unacceptable, I am in pain, missing work and still have nothing to tell my job about whats going on. Nicki called me back with an appointment for 9/1 for 1:30 p.m. because I need to fast. I then got a call from Nicki to schedule EDG for 9/2 at 6 a.m. At around 4:00 p.m. today I finally got a call from Blanca from Dr. Win’s office about the note that was left by the receptionist. I proceeded to tell Blanca that I shouldn’t have to call the insurance to get the information out of the office as to what is being done to find out what’s wrong with me. I was totally unhappy with the lack of communication.
9-1-2010 I went to Dr. Farid’s office today to have my IUD taken out and replaced.
They can’t get it out so that means outpatient surgery. So they have to send off for approval and they are supposed to call me back.
I also had the scheduled Ultrasound done today. I am confused as they didn’t even image any where near where the pain is. I even showed the technician where the pain was and he said he was checking out other organs. I don’t get it are we just running tests to rule out everything before we look at what does hurt? Total mis-use of insurance funds if you ask me. They should be looking at what does hurt, not what doesn’t. Tomorrow they are doing the EDG. I hope to hell that they at least look at the spot that hurts with this test. I am tired of tests and tired of the pain.
9-2-2010 I had the EDG done this morning. They put me out and I didn’t feel a
Thing except being sleepy. The only thing I was told is that there was some inflammation in my stomach. Now it’s hurry up and wait. I am going to try and goto work tomorrow.
I wish I could talk to my granddaughter to help brighten my days. I tried to contact her mother once again the other night. She logged off the minute I texted her. I just want to talk to Meghan. My beautiful Meghan Hypatia Crisp
