Lawsuit, Disparaging Medical Notes
June 2008
I had been talking to a lawyer about a lawsuit, and he had told me to get my medical records so that he could look them over. I had my GP’s office order them. I was stunned to read on two of Dr. F’s patient reports, under “mood, affect,” the word “histrionic.” Histrionic? Did he have any idea how much I was suffering?
On one of the dates that this had been reported—April 25—I had been quiet to the point of withdrawn because I had been depressed by my disappointing meeting with Dr. S., an hour earlier. My sister had been with me that day. I called her and asked if I had been histrionic. “No way,” she said. “Your appointment with Dr. F. was only a few minutes long. You were very appropriate.”
I e-mailed K. that I needed to speak with Dr. F. She e-mailed back that Dr. F. does not speak to patients on the phone. We tussled, by e-mail, with K. trying to pry the reason for my need to speak with Dr. F. out of me, and belittling my “personal matter.” Finally, I was given an appointment for June 27.

that is bullshit.those ent’s should be lined up and held down to have their nose’s ripped open. ther are great docs out there but a corrupt doc who knows they are rippin your nose for the big pay day is a piece of shit.I WENT to 2 who said oh…your doc is a great doc and i will treat you with water and humidifier…those fucks play golf together.if i saw them in heaven i would kill them and risk hell.I can remember my shit head doc tellin me that i had no right to tell him that i had empty mose and i was totally out of line to raise my voice in his office and then i go to the 4th doc and he tells me that my nose was totally destroyed and his nurse wanted to cry. screw the coverup.this is a nasal crime from hell.im surprised docs are not being met in parking lots with street justice but they are not worth the jail time….the bottom line is really this….sniff afrin until you die or hell snort coke,,,DO NOT GO TO AN ENT!.trhey are nasal mad scientist
Greg, Not to worry. You are not going to see those doctors in heaven.
Greg, you reiterate my thoughts wholly . K had never ever even thought that I would want to kill anyone ever, but Joe I have changed . I used to be a spiritual, peaceful life loving person, but that it is a distant memory now. It’s been 3 years since my op and I have ventured further and further within myself, to places o ne’er thought existed.
So… are you better? I hope so because I just 6 months ago had a deviated septum surgery that has left me distraught over the symptoms I am experiencing as a result of over zealousness of the knife to my turbinates. Empty Nose Syndrome. I am a wreck. I feel worse knowing this has happened to many people and so many doctors deny it exists despite the fact the will operate on anything else. It’s a big fraud to cover themselves.
I am certainly better than I was. Last summer, I felt almost normal but with the change in weather, I am suffering extreme dryness again. I also have facial pain from the unnecessary Caldwell-Luc that was done and I am still having dental implants done to replace teeth that were destroyed in the surgery. There is hope for improvement. I am sorry this happened to you too. ENT’s either deny the existence of ENS or, more often these days, acknowledge its (well-documented) existence, but tell all ENS sufferers that THEY do not have ENS. It is a fraud to cover themselves and each other, and to enable the money-making machine to continue.
Some of them do belong in jail, yes.
“Histrionic?” These ENTs belong in jail.
