Review of Audie L. Murphy VA Medical Cen...

Radiologist for my husbands 2 ultrasounds was RUDE...

Radiologist for my husbands 2 ultrasounds was RUDE. When we were walking into the ultrasound room first thing he said was "YOU HAVE TO WAIT IN THE HALL". He didnt ask my husband if he wanted me there or anything. He made it seem as if it wasnt an option. My husband is PTSD , he barely leaves the house. I have to finagle him to make these appointments. YES my husband wants me there. So as i'm waiting in the hall I kept noticing in other ultrasound rooms spouses are not being kicked out. So I asked a woman radiologist I seen in hallway why I cant be in there and she said I can be, so she went into ultrasound room and asked him why i cant be in there and asked my husband if he wanted me in there and my husband said yes and the radiologist said he thought I was just "SOME FAMILY MEMBER" which is why he told me to wait in hall. "SOME FAMILY MEMBER" ?? CLEARLY IF I CAME TO APPOINTMENT AND WALKED INTO ULTRASOUND ROOM WITH THE PATIENT, CLEARLY PATIENT WANTS ME THERE. Not to mention I'm his WIFE the one who gets him to go to all the appointments in the first place. I'm not just "Some family member". Very interesting choice of words, very RUDE choice of words. So at that point that radiologist had no choice to let me be in the room but by that point the ultrasounds were basically over and he was rude and condescending to me and wouldnt let me look at the picture on ultrasound screen. My husband and I left there pissed off. So far all the VA appointments have been unpleasant with rude people. Maybe if our experiences with staff within the VA system was more pleasant it'd be easier to get my husband to go to these appointments. If u want to know about our Frank Tejeda VA clinic experiences you can read my review on that which is actually what brought us to the Audie Murphy Radiology in the first place.
