Pseudo fits? BS! Jerks are what THEY were! Had one treat me like that ONCE. When I received his bill, I sent him a check for a very small portion of it (he did go get me an ice pack) and told him I really wasn't sure if he was worth that much.
Put your complaint in writing and send it to the Board of Directors at the Hospital. That usually gets some attention. The last time I was in the hospital (Nov) for DHE treatments, they tried to give me the wrong medications or give the medications wrong - end result - if I hadn't known what and how this was SUPPOSED to be, they would have probably killed me at least three times. I told my doctor about it and he asked me to put it in writing, which I did. After I faxed it to him, he called me and said he would Hand Deliver it to the Board. I have never received a bill from them, so I guess it made an impression.
I'm a firm believer in the written word. If you've got a complaint, don't call WRITE. And send it to the TOP (not through channels). You will usually get something done that way.
THIS TYPE OF TREATMENT MAKES ME MAD TOO!!! If it were an isolated incident it would be one thing, but we're seeing it more and more and more. It must be stopped.
