"Absolutely Disgusting": Doctor Fatally Poisons Patients and Colleague

[@JoelleAurmani]

I have medical PTSD After spending 12years in pain and being treated like a drug addict. Two.colorectal surgeons refused to ha a defagram study on me and told me that I was “ just constipated from all the pain medicine I was on”. It wasn’t until a third colorectal surgeon agreed to see me even though I was on narcotic pain medicine and she ordered the defagram study( the test I needed all those 12 years) and actually found out I had been suffering from a clorectal Enterocele!! Every time I had a bowel movement my intestine was being pushed in between my abdominal cavity and my pelvic cavity and being strangulated and not allowing me to pass stool!! My life was destroyed because doctors assumed I was a drug addict when in fact I had true pain all those years. She did surgery immediately and from then on I never had that pain again!!

Same position as you but with my neck. Was told my degenerative disc disease was all in my head. Now I have a titanium plate in my neck with screws and while still in pain at least i dont have weakness, shooting pain, and I have MRI's and X-rays that show I actually have a problem. A lot of days I'm not even angry I'm just shocked that doctors can have so little due diligence and empathy for what they charge. All I wanted was a solution of some kind and while not opposed to therapy it ain't gonna help cure or tolerate the level of pain I have without medication.

[@The_momur]

@@nateo200for me ACDR was a miracle too. I’m 62. The progressive left hand weakness reached a point where I could no longer eat like a grownup; I had to clench the fork in my fist like a toddler. The surgery went so well. The first 5 days post op were rough, sore throat, sensation of deep bruising and a minor reaction to surgical tape. I had more strength in my left hand within a week. I’m so happy with the results. My nerves were all bunched up, pinched by my degenerated discs.

I was in a psych hospital and given Abilify. It made me restless and like I wanted to pee all the time tho I didn't need to. When I told this to the doctor, he turned to the resident next to him and said, "this is an alpha..." something (it's receptors). So I knew from him explaining to the resident that this was something he expected. I growled, "you _knew?_ And you _didn't tell me?_ I tell all my doctors, now, ever since him (he never paid attention to me) that I expect every healthcare practitioner to treat me as a peer. I ask questions until I am satisfied that I know what I need to know, how I need to understand it. I say that up front so there's no vagueness between us. My psychiatric nurse practitioner brings that up in group sometimes (with my permission) that I said the same thing to her the first day. I think she does that to to empower the other people in the group. I'm glad she does. I can't stand being ignored by my doctor. I've fired a couple of doctors for ignoring me.

[@angelachouinard4581]

Thank you so much for being strong and standing up for not only yourself but others. If you presented things in such a way your nurse practitioner now uses your situation to help others that is wonderful. Psychiatric patients get gaslighted so often and they are at such a disadvantage with all the stereotyping. Bless you.

[@Mtnmamma5251]

Good for you! Drs can be very arrogant sometimes. Not all of them of course. But it takes some good questioning to weed the bad ones out. I was transferred to another Dr when mine left the area. At my first appt with him he began questioning me in strange ways that raised my defenses. I am on a mild anti-anxiety medication and have been for years. He knows nothing of my history as to why nor did he ask. Unbeknownst to me he lowered my RX count and also drug tested me for multiple street drugs. That’s right. At 68 I stand on street corners to make huge amounts of money by selling these little pills to supplement my retirement. He must have been very disappointed at the results of testing me. In addition, at that first appointment he said in a very derogatory tone, “so what, are you a nurse or something?” He said it was because of the terms I was using. Feeling threatened much? I actually was a surgical unit secretary for 20 years and must have absorbed too much medical terminology, part of my job. What an arrogant jerk! I held my own fine. But when I saw my lab results on the portal I went ballistic on him and fired him. Later I discovered my medication dosage had been lowered from 3 per day to 2. But I had the last laugh on him as my previous Dr had doubled the strength of my dosage. That was so I could cut them in half and have enough to cover me for my 2 month annual vacation in FL. He just never changed it back because he knew and trusted me. So after I decided on a new primary, at my first appt he asked me how he could be the Dr I needed him to be and what things were very important to me. I had just one word. Trust. I would gladly trust him if he would trust me, which meant I could ask any questions I needed to. He said “of course, that goes without saying, unless I find something to doubt about you in which case I will give you the benefit of the doubt and ask you about it first”. I have had a great relationship with him now for several years. Is it any wonder that he no longer takes on new patients? He is well respected by all. People need to remember that the Dr works for them, they are not there for the Dr. It is their right to stand up for themselves and in this day and age, being your own health advocate with anyone who treats you may save your life. Stay informed, well read and understand fully your diagnosis(ses) so you can ask intelligent questions and no one takes advantage of you.

[@orangesnowflake3769]

[@lesliehyde]

Cold- well, vast majority of bacteria like being nice and warm so they can spread their joys around and cooler temperatures keep this under a bit of control. Fix- it's called layers..... add some more if needed. Uncomfortable- hospitals are filled with mass produced medical equipment and unless a patient has a bed sore or at high risk for one, they aren't going to be "getting" a semi more comfortable mattress. Fix- sorry, you're not going to want a more "comfortable" mattress cause they are noisy as frick. Loud- well, one, less surfaces create less hiding places for bacteria while at the same time having less surfaces to "absorb" sound. Asking these questions about a hospital? Are you sure you aren't not neurotypical? Only ask cause I'm not neurotypical and go through these questions myself before remembering "oh yeah, it's a hospital but I shouldn't be here for more than 6 days".

Maybe they can with an MRI but it's a stretch to say anyone who isn't on those spectrums are neurotypical.

You’re spot on regarding doctor’s having experienced pain often correlating with how they understand and treat chronic pain patients. I know a doctor who told me himself that living with chronic pain changed is perspective dramatically. I also had a nurse who was treating a chronic wound comment how she felt that patients struggling to cope with the pain during wound care and dressing changes on relatively superficial wounds. She then had to go through it herself after a motorcycle accident left her with a wound on top of her kneecap. When she found herself crying out in pain during a dressing change, she immediately saw patients who had done the same thing whilst she cleaned their wounds in a different light and realised it could REALLY hurt.

Same to many triggers before and after the surgery., oxygen to 70 on my pulse ox. Can’t get air in nor out. Told many things when I asked. Started to receive papers from my insurance company saying I was enrolled in their severe, high risk asthma program. Given asthma action plans. Told ask your Doctor, I did. I never was told asthma. Never told anything about asthma action plan. I keep asking because I want to feel safe in any future medical procedure where I will be put out. Am I somehow wrong to keep asking? Would someone with severe, high risk asthma need special care before, during and after surgery? I just want to ask these questions. Someone I can trust would be helpful.

The fact is that all the prior screening does not filter out all the bad candidates. Also, sometimes some people get worse over time.

I awaken with no repercussions. My doctor refuses to use it, and to be honest, that puts me in a panic.

So abit of a pet peeve of mine is when people misuse the term gas lighting throwing it around for anytime someone was being deceived or lied to. Gas lighting is an INCREDIBLY rare and almost never seen behavior. Gas lighting is the destruction of someones confidence in their own sanity, it's done by slow methodical manipulation that involves lying to someone to the point where they can't trust their own version of reality, Their ability to discern the reality around them has been destroyed. Leaving them completely vulnerable to accepting whatever reality their abuser deploys them. It is not when somebody lied to you one time.

Yes, one off lies are not gaslighting even by more than one person.

Well, you have to narrow it down to only 1 or two or come back for another visit because you have exceeded your doctor's capacity to listen and treat you.

From what I've read, it seems that Ortiz was not intending to kill patients, but he was EXTREMELY CARELESS. If he prepared IV bags for liposuction cases that were scheduled for that day, he is obligated to LABEL the bags with the additives. Even during a code blue response, I, as the responding pharmacist, prepare a label for any IV bag that I have adulterated. Additionally, NO ONE should assume an unwrapped bag is NOT adulterated. If a bag is unwrapped and subsequently not used, it should be cut and discarded. NO EXECPTIONS.

My question is, when someone injects an IV bag with a small needle, can’t a nurse squeeze the bag and feel the pressure leaking out? Also, shouldn’t there be some kind of steps the nurses can take to check this type of thing? I almost think a technology should be built into the plastic bag where it indicates whether a needle has punctured it (perhaps by changing color or leaking some kind of food color into the bag once the needle punctures the second later (so the IV bag would have a thin bag around it, sturdy, that holds some kind of color or gas where, if it is punctured, it will visually show a difference to the nurse).

[@katiekane5247]

A large percentage of IV bags have an additive, most frequently Potassium to correct low values. The injection port is designed to self seal after being poked with a needle. You'd have no way to know and a system to detect any puncture there might be difficult.

He yelled out to move the light and put me back under. Another time my trachea calmed shut as they removed the pipe. My throat was sore afterwards, it was a nurse in passing that said you gave us a fright in theatre, and proceeded to tell me what happened. But no Dr came to formally tell me what happened. Luckily for that honest nurse. I’ve had to tell every other anaesthetist about it ever since and they say there’s various ways he can anaesthetise and will chose a more suitable one for me.
