TWITTERVERSE – A colorectal surgeon posted a rant about the care he received in an odd location “Psychology Today.” The rant, which since has been taken down, ripped on everyone he came in contact with and a few below the belts shots. Luckily the internet provided balance to this behavior particular from his peers. His rebuttal to the ‘backlash’ was posted (link below). Don’t worry he didn’t apologize for his words and actions, but did apologize for everyone misunderstanding him.

If you would like to read the original article, the internet is forever and can be read HERE.

When the Charge Nurse answered pleasantly, I didn’t speak. I yelled. Some fragments of that yelling monologue:

“My mother had a TIA more than 24 hours ago, and you still haven’t looked at her carotid arteries! She’d be safer in a grocery store!”

“Even first year medical students knows that my mother needed a carotid artery ultrasound hours ago!”

“Would you allow YOUR mother to be treated, or I should say, NOT TREATED this way?!”

“If your damn doctor doesn’t call me from the damn radiology suite with the results of a damn ultrasound of my mother’s damn carotid ultrasound within the next 15 minutes, I will transfer her to a REAL hospital, after which I will come down there with my damn lawyer and make all of your lives a living hell!”

The Charge Nurse said not a word throughout this tirade. When I was done, she softly and sadly spoke.
