My name is Steven Wolf this review is on behalf of my mother in law. She went in yesterday to have a drainage tube replaced after having it ripped out due to an accident at home on 6/9/2019. She called the surgeon the night it was ripped out and again that morning 6/10/19. The following day 06/11/19 she receive a call back from the surgeons assistant and was told she had scheduled an appointment for her to come in. She (The patient) had to call again and informed them that She did not have an appointment set according to the hospital. The assistant corrected the mistake and got her in the next day. Keep in mind the tube is sewed into the stomach and drains stomach bile. After going into the hospital she was taken to the radiology department. The radiology department explained her the two options for doing the operation. First one was to have local anesthetic and the other was to put her to sleep. Her and the person doing the surgery agreed to the second option. After being transported to the operation room the person doing the surgery decided that they were going to do option one instead of what was previously agreed to. According to her "It helped with the first punch but i could feel the other two". Meaning every time they pushed the tube in she could feel it. The person preforming the surgery knew that the first option would be painful. The patient is a 67 year old woman who has a high pain tolerance. After the surgery she was in tears from the pain. The person who preformed the surgery cannot be called a doctor.Doctors are meant to care for and help patients. This "doctor" could not care enough to carry out the wishes of his patients. He did not care that he put this 67 year old woman through terrible pain. Pain she is still in the next day after what they did to her. I am extremely disappointed in the level of care my mother in law has received . I would like the matter to be addressed so no one else suffers the way she has.
