Popular Post Rehab1 Posted February 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) I know know how my my son felt before he died... helpless. So many uncertainties in life and uncontrollable endings . I am totally bummed today after attempting to help an infant only to be accused by the dad that I refused to see the child for a followup a few days later. I have never been this low.

Empathy and compassion are unfortunately very lacking in today's US medicine, but the tone of your post here proves you do possess both Dan, which should never be taken for granted. I can't even imagine the feeling of losing a child. I am sorry for both your loss and his 🙏 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of yourself as a 12oz bottle of your favorite beverage. A 12oz bottle can hold enough liquid to quench your thirst. And you are obviously good at what you do. But a 12oz bottle cannot hold the contents of a 2L bottle or a gallon jug. We can only do so much with what we have. May God bless you in your struggles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ..... Posted February 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Blame and ager are typical responses to feeling helpless. Just do what you can and remember that people dont always act rationally when suffering. Its not a Doctor's fault that people die and get sick. Its also not their faults that they arent gods or magicians. Maybe its blasphemy, but i view a doctor as simply an educated technician that works on bodies instead of machines. ALL technicians know that at one point theres just nothing that can be done. I guess the pay scale is what confuses this reality for some... Careful feeling badly for people, as youre in the business that if you do... you won't have any time left to live your own life. I think you doctors are plumb crazy. I can understand wanting to make a ton of money, but if you aint in it for the $$, why not do something else? People arent hardly worth the bother and there damn sure isnt a shortage of them. Lucky for mankind, we dont all think alike or we'd be even more doomed. Shake it off @Rehab1, theres more for you to focus on tomorrow, as the tide of people looking to you for answers, won't end.

Tawpie Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Grieve for the child, and do grieve for the father as well. It's all that can be done this time. Perhaps next time things can be different, but now, it's important to share the loss as fellow human beings. I'm very sorry this happened. Know that I grieve for you as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowjacket Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I am so sorry for your feeling of helplessness. I am so sorry for the loss of your son. Some wounds never heal, and I admire the courage you bring by just showing up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gon2fast Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) I work in healthcare as well and feel for you. It can be fulfilling and it can kick the ever-loving shit out of you. Edited March 1, 2021 by gon2fast 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unventor Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Your post @Rehab1 both make me sad and happy, for many different reasons but in the end I have twisted this round to a positive. I hope this doesn't get too long, let me explain. It is a sad situation both for the infant the dad and the family. Like many said already grief do not always find the right target nor bei g expressed on a good way. To most cases I have come across often the reciever at the wrong time and place end up with a very unfair outburst. I can't say what happened from your pist here. But in the long or short time I have been part of this community and forum, you stand out to me like a person that do both the right thing and to ones best ability in any given situation. Please let this sink in Dan. It is not something I can say about all persons I know. So sad situation but also that it takes you back to a hard time in your life you have shared a little of earlier. So how can tjis be a good thing? I mean really? I am sooo happy with the encouragement others wrote to you here. And that instead of you sitting for yourself with this you chose us the community to share this. And people stepped up to try to comfort you. It just shows to me despite EYCs links us together the community is a "bit" more that this. It is about friends too. And I cannot push that warm feel away from some of all the sad times you have shated with us tjis time and previous occasions. I do hope you see where I am coming from. And I wish I could give you a huge pad on the shoulder, instead I have to settle with this virtual one. I do hope ot helps you at least a little bit.

Rehab1 Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Thanks for everyone’s support. Sorry for my bummer story after my few drinks. Well my practice did get dinged on Google but after reading the dad’s other nasty reviews I felt better. The guy hates Menards because they made him wear a mask? He hates his local florist because the computers were down when he attempted to order flowers for his wife. He hates Ohio because everyone is unorganized. I spoke to his son’s pediatrician this morning only to find out that he had fired their previous doctor. Why are some people so mean?

That's how they were treated, and that's how they learned that to get anything (or just as a "normal" reaction to any kind of frustration), they have to harass others. Forget this idiot.

Why are some people so mean? Some peoole are just getting all the world against them. Now I am not religious at all. But someone started to talk about karma and it juat seem to get back to you good or bad. I never really understood this but it doesn't change good deeds tend to pay back. Unfortunately most people in the western world seems to have forgotten a well known US president speach. It is not what your country can do for you, it is what you can do for your country. I think this is wise words. But I would probably change country to others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's reflecting his experience of the world he also creates, angry orange and yellow. Which is why men like you are so important. You change those colors — not for him, but for others tuned to a broader spectrum. Thank you for your courage in sharing this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Just now, Rehab1 said: Unfortunately there is no method I’m aware of to purge his disparaging comments from Google reviews Isn't there a "report" button somewhere on the review? "Making false claims" might have a good chance of getting it removed. Or you might be able to reply to the review that he is a serial complainer (with the examples you have given).

I did apply the report button but from what I hear it remains a long difficult process to purge a comment. I did reply but unfortunately in a pacifist manner. I’ve been taught to take this route to avoid lawsuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 No need to be nice. "This guys behavior goes beyond what can be explained by just being worried about his kid in the moment. He's just a serial complainer, see ..." Same just in better English, more acommodating so everyone sees you are trying your best to be nice, expanded. In the end, the question is what reply would be best considering what other people (= future patients) reading your reply would think. What reply would reassure them about you after reading the review? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
