Worst doctors visit EVER! In tears

That's terrible, and you should file a complaint with the state. Also, look at your insurance records and specifically how he codes and bills for this visit. It sounds like he did not do any type of decent exam, but I'm sure he is going to bill for a level of visit that MUST include a physical exam. You can notify and complain to the insurance and ding him for fraud. Hit him where it counts... $$$. Sorry you had this bad experience.. we aren't all like that.

Definitely agree - try to get the insurance people to take issue with him.

I agree to file a complaint with the medical board. That behavior is unacceptable. He needs to look at exactly what you came there for.

You did the right thing by telling him off and leaving - he must be an arrogent SOB who stopped listening the day they taught metabolism in med school. I agree with those who say report him, but if that isn't somthing you want to do I would at least go to the rate a doctor websites and post your experience so that others can avoid this man. One is VitalSigns and another is Rate an MD, I think.... I always go to these sites to see what other people have experienced at an office before I visit a new doctor and I post after my visit no matter if the experience was good or bad. People should never let an idiot doctor walk all over them and I am proud of you for standing up for yourself!

I say let's all go over there and let him have it! How dare him try to humiliate you like that!!!

Definitely file a complaint and look to see if there's a website to report idiot doctors!

You sure did handle it with grace!

"if you refuse to treat, don't expect payment"

He might have thought you were after pain meds... what kind of doctor was this, a family/general or specialist?

Maybe he was grouchy because he had only had one meal that day. :laugh:

I have had a simular experience with a doctor lately, and I too kept reminding her that I have been doing the same as you, weight was coming off slowly, then i fell and hurt my back, I am very over weight but never had a stitch of back problems in my 47 years. she was so rude and cold I walked out of the office in tears. More I thought about it I wanted to do something about it, I called and complained to her office, they had me see the doctor I normally see after that and there was a real medical issue with my back (imagine that) they didn't charge me any co-pays for any of the visits and that Dr had to call me an apologize, I blasted her when she called and yelled at her hard core and told her apology not excepted!!!! I am still looking for more people to complain to about this so called doctor, I seriously thought about taking out an add in the local papers LOL my husband wouldn't let me. Hang in there, not all doctors are like that and hope you find one that will treat you right.

YAY! Good for you for standing up for yourself and for telling him off, not that he listened. I would certainly file a complaint, and get a second opinion. And, like previous poster said, tell your insurance company immediately and tell them they should refuse to pay him as he did absolutely nothing, not a physical exam or anything. And I would put in writing to your insurance company, and the medical board exactly what happened.

I don't have knock knees or any other specific knee problem, but I was pidgeon-toed as a child, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it. About 6 months after I had my daughter (around the same she started sleeping in her crib, which was upstairs,) I began having knee pain in my right knee. Turns out I had a torn meniscus and I think walking up and down the stairs several time a day really aggravated it. I went to see an orthopedist, and he suggested I wait until I was finished breasteeding my daughter before having surgery. Then I got pregnant with my son, so then I went back to him and he suggested the same thing, that I wait until after my son turned a year before I had surgery. He put on my chart that I was morbidly obese, which, technically I am, but never said anything negative about my weight, except to (tactfully) say that I would clearly benefit from losing weight. He was very nice.

Try to do some research online to find a better doctor so you can get a second opinion.

What a colossal *kitten*!! Again, major kudos to you for defending yourself and your kids.

Oh. My. Gosh. I'm so sorry. That's horrible. Filing a complaint is a really good idea...and checking to see if his license is legit!

Wow. That is insane. I would have done more than walk out and yell, yes even with my 2 young boys with me lol. You are strong. Definitely do what everyone else is telling you to do. File a complaint. But also. Was this in a "clinic" . You know, several doctors and such seeing tons of patients a day? If so (i use to work in one) complain to the Clinic Manager. The man/woman who runs the show. Show them your blog, write a very long descriptive letter of how emotionally hurt you were and how this "medical" Doctor showed NO bedside manner, and aggressively insisted on not helping you diagnose and treat your medical issue. If this was his own private practice, definitely contact the state medical board and keep going until you get results. He is clearly not good at his job and does not deserve to be seeing patients! It just makes me so mad because at the clinic I use to work at we had a doctor like that, and with just 2 or 3 similar complaints like yours he was quickly fired.... Your healthy lifestyle changes seem like they are the good things to be doing... So just keep them up!

You rock! You rock for standing up for yourself, and not punching that dillweed in the jewels, like I would have.

Definitely definitely definitely file complaints to everyone you can. Who knows? He might really be off his meds, or on meds he's not supposed to be on. His bad judgment and worse bedside manner could be potentially harmful to someone without your cojones.

Girl! My heart is pounding so fast i think it's going to jump out of my chest....You need to report this dud to the State Board of Physicians...your local city, take out an ad in the paper, call the BBB...do what ever you can. You nailed it he doesn't need to be seeing patients...not human ones anyway! So sorry for you...give that knee some rest and do what you can...you are off to a good start and don't let him rain on your parade!

That's terrible, and you should file a complaint with the state. Also, look at your insurance records and specifically how he codes and bills for this visit. It sounds like he did not do any type of decent exam, but I'm sure he is going to bill for a level of visit that MUST include a physical exam.

I agree here 100% along with filing a complaint. Hit him where it hurts. What an @$$!!!

Eat one meal a day, to lose 2 lbs a month? Is he retarded?! Both of those statements alone are crazy, not to mention together!!

And berating someone who is trying to get healthier! Not like you are in denial and need some tough love! You are ready to do whatever you need to do (so it sounds) and need someone supportive, not someone trying to scare you straight (so to speak).

I agree with everyone here. Def write a complaint letter to the medical board! Besides that, I would love to see his face when you go back to him in LESS than a year when you're 100 lbs less after having eaten 3 healthy meals a day plus your two snacks! And I would only go back to him because revenge would be sweet NOT for any medical advice! Good luck and keep doing what you're doing! One step at a time! He certainly isn't worth any tears!
