Fw: trust in the medical profession

trust in the medical profession

Hi,

I got some very disturbing news today. The doctor that did the anesthesia

for my first surgery was found guilty of taking fentanyl while on duty.

Apperently he took a vial of the stuff and injected some of it just after

bringing apatient from the OR. He then proceeded to the OR to take care of

another patient.

This is not a tale he made the front page of our local paper and is also

listed under the Health Departments Medical Misconduct file. I use to work at

the same hospital with this doctor and can't believe it. I am also very angy

that this happened. It scares the day lights out of me thinking he might have

been under the influence of drugs while doing my anesthia. I had a very bad time

after my first surgery and my husband and I wonder if this could be the case.

When my first nsg resigned from our hospital there was alot of bad stuff

flying around about him. I do know that he was investedgated by the state and

found to have been keeping bad records and now has to attend classes on

charting. There alot of other stuff going around about some surgeries he did

but I chose not to listen to what I call Levys horror stories. Now this on this

other doctor.

This ACM/SM is hard enough to deal with and along with this has been the

stuff from the doctors and their offices.

I just am not sure who to trust in all the mess.
