The INSANE MD is at it again!

[Guest guest]

HHHHHHeeeelllllpppp!!! Oksana from Dr. Elariny's office called to

tell me Dr. Elariny was notified YESTERDAY by Dr. Lassiter (who

claimed to be my PCP) that I have uncontrolled hypothyroidism with

a TSH of 7.14 and that HE would not allow me to have surgery. I

cannot believe this man thinks he can do this. I pointed out to

Oksana that I have controlled hypothyroidism and asked if she had the

current labs. She did, but she said Dr. Elariny would call me

last night (he did not). Oh God, I am going to just die if he

refuses to do my surgery (scheduled for 10/9/01). I have filed a

complaint withe NC Medical Board, informed Lassiter both verbally and

in writing that he is not my MD. What is wrong with this lunatic?

Please pray for me.

Love,

Kathy

, you are so right and now I will be driving 80 miles to the

nearest endocrinologist to get clearance for surgery as apparently the

jerk implied he would sue if I had surgery. Possibly some unresolved

control issues?!

Hey, wait a freekin' minute! You are the customer. He is the

provider. How in the world can he sue you for not taking his advice?

Something is twisted in the logic here!!

No...the jerk implied to Dr. E that if the surgery was performed on me

he would go after Dr. E according to Dr. E's staff. He truly is a

sickie. The girl at the NC Medical Board's complaint desk said it's

the most bizarre thing she has ever seen in all the years she's been

there.

don't see where its his business if you've released him from

obligation. Seems to me the surgeon will know what is going on by the

labs...and seeing an endocrinlogist will protect him in the end...but

that dr needs to get a life...

Kathy,

I think that you are the one who should sue! Every day that you

carry around the excess weights adds additional stress to your body

and increases the odds that you will develop additional co-morbites.

This man is obviously has s serious God complex. He is interfering

with your attempts to attain a healthy lifestyle. I really hope that

the medical board santions him severely. The key thing to do is to

attain a new PCP as soon as possible. Be sure to contact your

insurance company to inform them that you have a new PCP. This will

keep this jerk from getting any additional money as your PCP and once

he realizes that he will not make any additional money maybe he will

get a life. I know that a lot of HMO's pay PCP's bonuses based upon

the PCP saving them money by not ordering advanced tests and

procedures.

surgery?

[Guest guest]

Kathy,

When I read about people like this doctor, the evil side of me really

comes out. I feel like sending him postcards from hotels and motels

within driving distance of his office. I would mail them to his home

address and say Doctor, it was such a pleasure having you and your

wife stay with us recently.... etc. Ok, I'm evil, but damn, he is

evil too!

Best to you..and keep up the good fight.

Hugs,

Theresa

Actually I don't think a doctor can sue a patient for ignoring their

recommendations.

Sounds like this man needs a mental status exam.

Get an attorney to write a letter then sue his ass off.

in Seattle,, no tolerance for medical idiots

I too would like to react in kind, but a legal record goes a long way

in preventing this from happening to someone else. Thanks, Theresa

No, actually I was approved in only 12 days, but I have every

co-morbity out there and I had an email from a internationally

known & well published liver specialist saying I needed the DS to

reverse my liver damage.

Hope your approval is as easy...let me know.

Jerry,

Louisiana is home for us...I taught at Charity and LSU School of

nursing. We lived in Slidell for 16 years. Where are you?

I actually went to Law School at LSU Baton Rouge and now wish I had

finished. He believes, I guess, that the surgeon would be commiting

battery by operating on a patient who has hypothyroidism. I think his

IQ is extremely low. Maybe he graduated bottom of his class or maybe

he's just posing as an MD, afterall he's " posing " as my PCP.
