Medical Power of Attorney, Surgeon Won't Talk to Anybody

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

I'm continuing to share the continuing saga of entering the battle ground for

your health when you find yourself in the unfortunate position of having to

admit yourself to a hospital.

 

I've been an advocate for a brain injured man who has an Authorization to

Release Medical Information on file for 28 days since he unexpectedly ended up

in the same hospital before the other records were sent in 30 days in compliance

with HIPPA.

 

The passive agressive avoidance behavior exhibited refusing to talk to me and

refusing to provide record copies so I could make sure he understood his health

care options and to make informed consent decisions in the last few days would

take volumns. I just recieved a voice mail.

The surgeon told him he wouldn't talk to anyone and that the only thing he could

do was give himse some shots in his back. The patient has already had those

shots and knows that they don't work.

 

Is that not incredible? A doctor that won't discuss his care with someone who is

trying to help a brain injured man with severe hearing loss and a 1st grade

educational level understand his health care.

 

Yesterday after they recieved my 9 page complaint faxed to the Alabama Board of

Chiropractic Examiners, he was given no medications, just rest and food and no

stress of my continuing to fight with them while they refused to honor his

directive that they communicate with me.

Today he says he feel better than when they were pumping 5-6 drugs into him and

refusing to give him a copy of the medications.

 

I'm really just dumbfounded, really.

The shear arrogance.

It appears they want to pump you up with drugs that don't work when the surgeon

was informed they wouldn't work, shoot you up with drugs that don't work

according to the patient's case history, refuse to consult with anyone outside

that little hospital, refuse to give you your records so you don't have any

evidence of their handiwork and won't talk to you if you are the patient's

friend, loved one or advocate.

 

This is why the study of Alternative Health should not be a little hobby we do

for fun and diversion and New Agey like indulgences. Just like the tribes that

paid attention to the birds, went deep into the forrest and were saved from the

tsunani (sp) we cannot depent on the government or the mass media controlled by

the same to protect us. We must pay attention to what really works and take

control over our own health care and avoid endangering our health and assets to

the medical industrial complex.

 

Speaking of being aware or your environment-let me go and close the door, the

afternoon fuel farts are fumigating.

 

Thank you,

Dr. Sandra Lance, D.C.
