Do not go see this doc. He is all about seminars and a great resume, he will not bother with you when it is serious. The entire UCD is like that, accept a couple of them I have met. He does not care about you or your needs he cares about how he looks in the system and on paper. Period.

Hi. So we need a health care reform, more so a doctor reform! I am speechless at how I have been treated by doctors and I have full coverage. I keep getting turned away and told I am fine, when in the past 2 weeks my body has gone through some sort of severe sickness and upload of past injuries that were existing by now I am barely able to stand and I am only 36! I have been to UCD med center many times and they could care less. My left arm and left leg are weak and numb and all they say is go to the emergency room. Yes and I waited 14 hours to be seen... and they told me I have a fractured clavicle among other things to get checked out. So I go to see a doc today and he says your x-rays look fine I am not sure what they were talking about, because you look fine to me... Unreal! I am close to collapsing every day because of Hypokalemia, low potassium and my past injuries coexisting and getting worse and worse and I am asked by the doctor if I am psychologically ok? UNreal, I have NO words at how we are all treated in this SICK medical system, this sick twisted bunch of lies. I even had an ultrasound that a technician saw alot of stuff going on and started to tell me then she immediately shut her mouth and then the OB reported back to me that there was nothing wrong! What the hell is going on here that people are lied too? and not told what is really going on? I could die from this condition and I am scared and people turn me away because they say I am ok. I was pre-hypertensive for a long time with hypokalemia that no one bothered to tell me until it was nearly too late for me, I could have had heart failure... This entire system sickens me. I saw another doctor, in Sac, CA and because I knew more medical terminology than him, and I wanted to get help and asked for it, his ego got in the way and he said I had, some sort of behavioral issue because I came there demanding help. Hey I pay for a service, provide it then, plain and simple.
Don;t you tell me I look fine when I have serious symptoms that can only come from a car accident and other physical trauma's. I am terribly appalled at the complacency, lazy attitudes when it comes to our health. People are dying every day because they are not treated with dignity nor a compassionate caring physician. I have yet to find one.
I know the insurance is being altered in this big change, but doctors and how they treat patients and operated their organizations need to be monitored. The citizen should be in charge of this system, not insurance companies nor the pharma or doctors...Where is Michael Moore when I need him? I am scared for my life everyday because lazy judgemental rude doctors will not run the correct tests on me that are needed to make sure I will be ok.. They wait after the fact, after the person has a heart attack or this or that and they then say, oh well I told you to do that, and they blackball people. Dr. ?? in Sac told me I was blackballed by Dr. ???, I said what? She said yes you were, and he can write whatever he wants to in your chart? Huh? This is sick and vindictive the way doctors cross over into adding notes into a patients record so whenever they go into to get treatment every treating doctor sees these notes and thinks the person is psychologically impaired just because they complain at how they did not get what they needed out of the visit. The power these doctors think they have is not only sick, but cruel in what they have done to me and what they do to many others. Something has got to change! That is why I write here all the time, to try and make some sort of difference and speak up and say this is wrong and disgusting that human beings are treated like money makers and in and out, in and out of offices with no answers, until it is too late. I am sick over this... we pay in some sort of way and we deserve good treatment. I have not had good treatment yet, in 12.5 years and I am suffering so badly right now because of this severe neglect. Change the system, and the docs will have to change! Period!
This is a real complaint. But I do want to acknowledge this that doctors should be held legally responsible for submitting a fraudulent review or medical notes
intended to damage a patients future health care in that very system & reputation.
