Buffalo, NY
I recently received a transplant from my local county hospital. I have to use the same unit for transplant recipients every time I go, about every 3 months. I see a different doctor every time. Long story short I told the secretary I no longer wanted to see a doctor, but did not tell her it was because this doctor takes the longest. This doctor takes 3 hours just to see you and I pay for parking by the hour soooo. Well that set off the harassment. Every person on this unit is now rude, disrespectful, and down right nasty. They gave me this doctor twice right after I made an appointment with another doctor. She sneered at me and went over and over how I'm fat and need to lose weight. The last time I got her I told her I requested not to see her and this is the last time she will be rude to me. She had an assistant with her and they both left. The assistant comes back to the room laughing and leaves so I go in the hallway and there is the doctor talking about me to every doctor, financial aid, nurse and patient on the unit that day. About 10 people. I walk out everyone stands up and says " oh hi Kim." at the same time! Patients are also looking at me funny! So since then I have been given false paper work to get me out of programs I am in and I have problems receiving my anti rejection medications. Like right now I no longer have a medication I ordered 2 weeks ago. I'm on my last pill today! There is more stories I could go on and on about the harassment from several doctors and nurses. I complained to the patient advocate and the administration but I am still harassed. What are my options?
