warning about local gi doctor!

[Guest guest]

I was in the hospital recently and this gi doctor was brought in to diagnose my

sever abdominal pain. I had been having sever pain, fever and cold not keep

liquids down. this guy walks in takes one look at me and says your problem is

your fat. Does not really read my chart or take the other doctors advice that I

need certain tests run. He goes on to tell me if I just dieted and exercised

more I would be fine. He knows nothing about my life or other health issues

including celiac and a nubmer of food allergies. He asks me if I have lost

weight while being sick I say yes alot he tells me that's good. I told him I

cant eat and can barley keep water down. he said for an obese person like you

(yes I am 30-40 pounds overweight from medical reasons) going home and being on

a water diet for a few weeks would do you some good. I told him he need to

actually read my chart he comes back and says oh, i guess you do have something

wrong we need to run more tests. he runs the tests, then says you have something

wrong with you we found damage. that's it he walks out the room, does not tell

me what that means, what I have,how to treat it, or any meds to help, etc... the

other doctors at the hospital were so outraged by his comments and acutaly

apologized to me and suggested that I file a complaint with the california

medical board.
