Not Told for 11 Days What Took Place During my Surgery
Repeated mistakes, too many to list here. For a surgeon who walked into the room, introduced himself & said 'We f'ed up' he made a few mistakes, the worst of which was he didn't tell me about my surgery for 11 days, no one did, even 5 days after when I left a vm for someone to call me & tell me about the surgery. No one did, ever. My prescheduled 7 day postop visit with Dr. Fletcher was changed to a nurse visit, who wasn't present during tbe surgery. IT WAS 11 DAYS BEFORE DR. FLETCHER TOLD ME WHAT OCCURRED DURING MY SURGERY. What kind of surgeon would do this to someone he cut open? What kind of human would do this to another human? It was a broken wrist, but I had a right to know what he found & did during surgery. This is very concerning.
An Unpleasant Experience

No one did, ever. He wrote a prescription for a muscle relaxer rather than the antibiotic he intended, yet he said he filled it. I had to insist his staff that ot was not the antibiotic he intended. He made the mistake, kept the prescription he made the error on, yet its on my chart he filled it. My prescheduled 7 day postop visit with Dr. Fletcher was changed to a nurse visit the morning of my appointment, who wasn't present during the surgery. IT WAS 11 DAYS BEFORE DR. FLETCHER TOLD ME WHAT OCCURRED DURING MY SURGERY. What kind of surgeon would do this to someone he cut open? What kind of human would do this to another human? It was a broken wrist, but I had a right to know what he found & did during surgery. He consciously chose not to alleviate my worry or stress. This is very concerning.
