The doc was supposed to be here today, he sandbagged me.... he was here on tuesday and we had an understanding about today... which he abrogated... he was put on notice any further procrastination would force me to go nuclear.
tomorrow is going to be bad for him if he shows, and it will get worse the longer it takes for him to drag his ass in here. if it takes until a week from now for him to show up, I'll have his ass arrested for unlawful restraint, and report him for medicare fraud.
then i will find the hungriest, greediest lawyer i can and turn 'em loose!!
Time for an update, the last was written on Thursday, 6/21/2012.
Today is Monday, 6/25/2012. I have found out that when talking to Dr. Gupta last Tuesday,
that he knew full well that he was going on vacation until Monday, JULY 9 and apparently his side of the entire conversation about what would be done THE NEXT FEW DAYS was just another stall while he ignored my requests to be discharged and "go home".
Monday July 9 is the start of the LAST week that Medicare will pay for my staying in a "Skilled Nursing Facility".
NOTHING is written up (since he left) for any "recovery plan" or anything like that, essentially the situation is intended to stay static until he returns, which only gives him a week to discover and decide upon just HOW to proceed with my needs once I am out of his facility.
What the hell does he think? That he can somehow SCARE me into staying there longer and pay for the whole fecking thing myself when he comes back?
(try squeezing a stone, the only blood is yours... squeeze harder, cut yourself worse..)
Or he knows exactly, and is have a fecking good laugh on how he screwed me into staying even longer?
He does have another Doctor covering for him, but the head respiratory therapist (now back from a 1 week vacation) informs me that this doctor's intent is to "keep things stable" and it will be nearly impossible to get this doctor to discharge me, and that if a discharge is forced (going nuclear, demanding discharge), things will be written into my file and records that will adversely affect me and aspects of my life for the rest of my life.
The easiest to prove is deliberate fraud, the hardest to prove is "institutional procrastination" coupled with institutional indifference, which is what I seem to be encountering.
As to involving "those that pay the bills" or one of their Social workers? THEY are the calibration standard for the definition of impossible to contact. The best I can do is mail in bills I get (that I have either paid or have to pay) to an address where they are processed to count in my monthly "spend down" (like a deductible).
edit: guys and gals I am not looking for sympathy or advice, my only intent is to inform or perhaps entertain :nutz:.
