Hi to all and hope you are feeling well. Well I have one for

ya.Kristy my daughter that just had a tp/ICT (which is doing great)

she also has a cardiac pacemaker she got that in 2003 when she was

18 , well things were going good with her heart since the pacemaker

and when she had her panc surgery they said to have her pacemaker

checked out to see if everything was working like it is supposed

to.So we did and her heart dr. said that she needed an adjustment

and made an appointment well out of the blue we recieved a letter

saying that she would no longer be recieving care with her dr. or

the heart association that he was working for. So I called KNOWING

that there was some kind of mistake because her dr. would never drop

her like that. I thought that it was something to do with insurance

or something like that. I called the main heart hospital where

everything goes through and they said they were puzzled too that the

dr. is the one who said to drop her.So I called the dr.'s cell phone

later that evening (thats how good of a dr. he was he gave us his

cell phone number and said if we needed anything at all to call ,and

we called several times with medical questions and he would also

call Kristy and see how she was doing and also came to the hospital

where she was at with the pancreatitis , even tho he did not work at

that hospital. ) Well when I called him he did not answer so

Kristy's fiance called him and left a message telling him there must

be some kind of mistake. He returned his call and told him that

Kristy needed to find her another heart dr. because his WIFE said

she didn't want him to see Kristy anymore because she (his wife) was

too insecure!Can you believe that?? Now we are searching for another

heart dr. and they all ask why did you have to find another heart

dr. ? So I tell them the truth .I tell them what he said. Well they

imediately back off and tell me they will call me back with an

appointment and they never do. I have called 3 different ones and

they are all in different areas of the state . Kristy always had

someone with her at all of her appointments either me or her dad or

her fiance or sister. The dr. never was out of line and Kristy

thought of him more as a father figure and that was it!He is 45

years old. She is 20. What is going on !!I have to find her a heart

dr. somewhere because she needs this adjustment and she needs a

check up every now and then. I don't know if this is the only young

lady he has had to treat or if there was a problem with someone

else .But kristy didn't ask for this . She is a pretty young lady

that wouldn't disrespect anyone. The dr. told us numerous times that

he considered us as his friends and he lives 2 hours away and he

would come down to see his patients in this areas once a week. But

Kristy only seen him about once every six months unless there was a

problem. Can anyone suggest what I should do to get across these

other heart dr.s that she ONLY wants a heart dr. ! well sorry this

is so long . Thanks for reading. deedee

Dee Dee,

That sounds fishy to me. It sounds like he has some personal problems and

doesn't want anyone to know what it is. I cannot understand why in the world a

doc would do that. Maybe he was having an affair and got caught and maybe is

facing a lawsuit and he doesn't want that known and is staying away from young

female patients. I would report his actions to the hospital he works at and the

office and also to the AMA. It makes no sense for him to do that to your

daughter. Any doctor that has a nurse always has her with him when he goes in

with

a female patient. Just to protect himself. I am so sorry you are having to

face this and I hope you can find someone to treat her. Good heart docs are hard

to find! My prayers are with you!
