I was not very satisfied with the ER Dr on staff that treated my 91 year old Father. Took my Father in due to extreme CONGESTION---. Yes he could have an Exray showed calcification on left lung numerous areas. Also a " Nodual " on his right lung. How large I proceeded to ask the Dr. On duty?? " Oh I don't know".." How can we find out more?" He would need a cat scan.." Can we do one"? I asked.."Well he is 91 would he treat it if we founnnd. Something...?" I was taken back. But stated I feel that would be my Father's choice & I told him " I WANT A CAT SCAN DONE"! HE CAME BACK & SAID OK.. RELUCTANTLY THE WHOLE TIME. THERE WAS A COVID TEST DONE UPON ADMITTANCE--- I CALLED & CALLED & CALLED-- FOR THE RESULTS -- NO ONE CALLED BACK- FINALLY 10 DAYS LATER AFTER MY FATHER IS GETTING WORSE & ON 40 MG. OF PREDNISONE-- A ER NURSE TOLD NE HIS TEST CAME BACK INCONCLUSIVE--- I THEN ASK---" WHEN WERE THE TEST RESULTS back--- " the same day my Dad was in ER. DOCTOR- YOU ARE GOING TO BE HEARING FROM YOUR CEO.-- The NP was fine. The Doctor needs to go. Dr Meeker's??
