Read MoreIf you want your medical needs met, Dr. Kim Dong Suk is not the doctor you want to go to. Friends and family said I should go for legal action for medical negligence. My heart is too hurt to even waste the time for that when I know she lacks the empathy. I feel this way from the struggles to schedule an appointment for my grandfather. He and my grandmother kept trying to make an appointment at her office and personal cell, because he was feeling unwell and in need to change his medicine. For over a month she never reached back or make a voicemail. He had a stroke in the morning while gardening from his blood pressure. After he was allowed home for recovery and therapy we were instructed to follow up with his primary doctor immediately. I called her over 6 times out of fear for his health. After listening to me for 2 minutes on his situation she hastily shouted that she was driving and hung up. I was devastated when I realized there she had no concern for my grandparent’s wellbeing. I understand it’s not her family. I understand that there is a pandemic. I just wished she could do her job instead of acting retired over the 2 months my grandma tried to reach her. After calling the next day over and over again she told us how to make an appointment about two or so days later. We only had him home for two days. On my birthday, June 11th, my grandpa’s heart stopped. He would celebrate my birthday every year, because I wrote it on the 10 calendars he hid around the house. He was so exhausted from getting up to eat, having therapy, and smiling crooked every time he recognized our faces. I didn’t want to tell him on the chance it made him sad. He was 83, a lawyer, an activist, and loved his family more than anything. Say what you want about him living a long age. He ran the Chicago marathon over 3 times and multiple half marathons before he was 80. He still drove and took my grandma to walk every morning at 5. This doctor had the ability to help prevent my grandfather’s stroke and heart attack. All my family was wanted some of that help that we did not receive. I never had the opportunity to see Dr. Kim face to face. I don’t know of her character as a person and what stresses she goes through daily. Yes, my family and I are going through the stages of grieving. I know that my emotions could be called misplaced if she ever had a minute to reflect on our interactions. I truly hate this woman every time I revisit the nightmare of my grandpa turning cold in my arms and all the memories of him raising me flood in. My grandfather was denied the help he needed at a critical time from someone he should have had access to. I do not want other people to face this reality I am in right now. My grandma picked Dr. Kim for being able to speak Korean so she could clearly communicate with her about health concerns. Clearly, it didn’t matter about speaking the same language. Finding someone who in heart has the passion to care about their patients speaks more than a small language barrier. Take the account of my review seriously or not if you are considering Kim Dong Suk. I regret the time waiting for the calls to go through when I could have massaged his feet and hold his hand even a second longer.
