Poor Follow-up and Poor Attitude

I had an ETT, MR, breast lift, arm lift and chin lipo.
I started having issues with my arms around the 3 week mark. I Saw Dr. Broudo in his office and was assured they were healing normal.
Almost a week later I went to take a shower and my arms had black tissue and green puss. I immediately sent him the photos to review. He called me and assured me they were healing and ok. We had a FaceTime follow up the next day.
I was very worried, and sent the photos to my sister who is an APRN. She advised me to go to the emergency room immediately.
I go to the emergency room, the provider that saw me was immediately shocked by all the puss and black tissue. I was told I had an infection in both arms they need to be cleaned and they strongly advise me to go back down to Miami. I stated that I didn't feel comfortable considering I was told for a week that my arms were fine. The attending physician called Dr. Broudo and he was extremely rude and argumentative and refused to speak with them. He then called me to scold me for going to the emergency room and stating that I need to go down to the office tomorrow morning to have him look at it.
The ER provider said that because it was plastic surgery it would be difficult to find someone in my area that would treat me. They wanted to admit me where the infection but they wanted Dr. Broudo to admit me down in Miami and he refused.
I was truly appalled with how he reacted to not only me but to the providers in the ER that we're only trying to help me.
Luckily, the ER provider felt so bad due to how Dr. Broudo spoke to me that he consulted with a plastic surgeon in Orlando and was able to find a general surgeon that would provide care.
They admitted me to the hospital, cleaned up my arms and started me IV antibiotics. I saw infectious disease and general surgery. I spent two nights in the hospital and was referred to wound care and follow up with the general surgery office.
I will never follow up nor see him again and after speaking with a few ladies who had complications I learned that he was rude to them as well.
I understand that infections can happen to any plastic surgeon however his behavior was unacceptable.
I will never recommend him to anyone and to be honest I'm really surprised that in my research prior to booking with him I never read a bad review. If he treated me (and the few other women I've talked too) like this I can't imagine he hasn't treated other woman like this.
