Comment  - “ DO NOT GO TO HIM! ”

I was referred to him and in less than six months of receiving treatment, he almost caused my demise. I made him aware that I did not like the way I had been feelng since he started prescribing me medications, he always put me off and added something new. He filled out my social security packet stating that I was disabled and less than one week later, I ended up in a coma in ICU. At my second to last office visit with him, he scheduled me two weeks out and said when I returned, we would discuss switching my medications..yet he sent me home with yet another medication. I did not take it until the day of my appointment because I was already genuinely scared of the way I was feeling. I did take it the day of my last office visit with him because I did not want him to say I wasn't complying with treatment. I do not even remember leaving the waiting room,someone sitting in there that I knew said it were as if I had a stroke, my words were slurred..couldn't talk or walk. I arrived for that appt at 1pm and kept in an examining room until after 5pm when his office closed. He gave me injections in my neck when I was in this state causing me to lose use of my right arm and hand for four months. They called the rescue squad after putting me in my vehicle. when EMT'S arrived my respirations were only four, I had to be intubated in the Emergency Room, fell into a coma and was admitted to the ICU. At my follow up, they said my vitals were fine, that I never fell asleep in his office, yet they told the EMT'S that I had "passed out" once in his office and again in my vehicle, he called my primary of 20 years and told him that I did not have any of my medication in my system however, he never called my primary until the day I was discharged so I wouldn't have...I had been detoxed. When my primary checked my records, he found that I did in fact have everything I was prescribed in my system the day I was admitted. i have had a hard time finding anyone to treat me after he did such an awful thing to me and most doctors don't even look at the next page or they don't like to go against other doctors period. how does one go from being totally disabled to no longer needing treatment not even seven days later. When i asked him this very question, he startled stuttering and said that he could not deal with this today and ran out of the room. i am not a pill seeker, didn't have one problem with my primary in the 20+ years going to him, nor have i ever had a dirty urine. I am not that old but have many diagnosis' and am going to be in more and more pain as i age, i don't know what to do; he should NOT be practicing. He doesn't deserve one star
