the army referred my daughter to a doctor here in town. she has gone to him for a long time. she has a tumor and suffers greatly before, during and after her period. he has been giving her 45 pain pills for a three months supply. she went to him last week, in horrid pain, and he refused to give her any more meds. he said he was "afraid" that she was addicted. it'd be pretty had to get addicted to 45 pills in 90 days. at least that's my take on that!!

i suggested that she go to my female doc. she requested her records from dr. G. this a.m. she came to my house in hysterics! she handed me the records and i could not believe what i was reading. they were full of inaccurcies, lies and supposition. i was absolutely floored. he even wrote about mine and r.j.'s marriage! about her having had a stepfather, etc. etc. and about "why we divorced"...........????? he said she dressed "hippyish" and was discheveled. (sp) she was in extreme pain and had perfectly ordinary jeans and a tee on. with a coat.

if she can't get pregnant again, they are going to adopt. they would never, ever be able to adopt if an agency saw what he has in her records. that's how bad it was. no one would let her have a baby!

i walked over and picked up the phone and she asked me what i was doing. i said i'm calling him. i called and asked for his nurse. i used calm and firm words. i said "inappropriate, appalled, aghast, inaccuracies, suppostitions and untruths". i said that i had been married to a doctor (which of course he knows) and that i knew that he had never, ever considered charting like Dr. G did. i didn't threaten, i didn't raise my voice, totally calm. the nurse, very angrily, asked me what i was doing reading her records. i said i am her mother and she handed them to me! she said where is your daughter? i told her that she is standing right in front of me in my livingroom! she started telling me that medical records are private. i reminded her that a transcriptionist and nurses had already seen these "private" records!!

within two hours, he called colleen and totally begged her to not do anything and that he would expunge all of the errors from her records and give her a new set. he kissed up like crazy. he begged and she yelled. he begged her to not let this get out!!!!!!!!! guess he remembered that i've lived here longer than he has and have longer relationships with the docs here than he does.

i had already called my friend, the ER doc and told him what happened. he said that Dr. G could lose his med license over it. colleen was planning to go to a lawyer this afternoon.

folks, ask for your records immediately. i beg you to do this. read them over. the law states that the doc has to give you a copy of what's in your folder. no questions asked. there could be anything in our charts!!

so................i called a friend at the courthouse and asked her if she knew anything about him. she said she would ask around. she called me back immediately and started talking and then i remembered what i knew from about 3 years ago. he and his wife had a "sex" party with teenagers and one of the parents reported them to the police and it turned into a lawsuit. she is now checking to see if he has malpractice suits filed against him. i had totally forgotten about the party thing as i didn't know him at that time and i still don't know him. i know that at some time colleen had mentioned his name but it didn't click with me....depression and all really affects my memory.

incidentally, my doc was totally kind to her and checked her out thoroughly and gave her a prescription and told her to call at any time if she is uncomfortable next month. she isn't willing to have a hysterectomy until it might become apparent that she can't get pregnant again. stella was born at 24 weeks.

my sister really teased me about kicking his "butt". i feel like he needs more than his butt kicked.

FYI!!
