Reporting Unprofessional Behaviour

[Guest guest]

, not sure how it works in the U.S. but in Canada we report a

physician to the Medical Association...it goes by province here.

Also, a copy to the hospital he/she works through. It was a gruelly

process to go through, and I never did get an apology or anyone being

accountable for their actions. I had a patient advocate assigned to

me. She was very caring, yet placating at the same time. She told

me from the beginning, " don't expect too much " .

The one thing that DOES happen is that there is a black mark against

them in their file. So if anyone else reports them they add up, and

hopefully are spoken to one day.

Love ya,
