Read MoreI fired my primary care phsician yesterday.
I called khouri"s office in the morning, and told them I had run out of pain meds and I couldn't last until my doctors appointment at 3:30. ( A flash fire burned my right hand and arm with extensive second-degree burns, and also my face forehead and ear on my left side)
The front office agreed to call in a prescription to the pharmacy that morning. hour after hour after hour no such prescription was ever called in. I left two phone messages to his office which went unreturned and still no prescription.
Finally I called and they picked up the phone and explained to me that doctor khouri did not want to issue a prescription without more info. I then asked if they felt it wasnt important to let me know that? I was in significant pain and anxiety. If they simply said no to it I would've gone with the emergency room for pain meds. At that point I would do almost anything for my growing pain.
She started to explain how busy she was and i hung up to drive over there to see the doctor. They immediately put me in a side room, and khouri came in. Dr. Cory asked what happened? And I asked him with regards to the accident, or my difficulties getting a refill? Surprisingly enough he was asking about The refill issue.
So I explained about the accident three days before, anyways. And added that my pain medications had run out this morning. And then I asked him if he was aware that I couldn't make it without pain meds to my appointment at 3:30.
He said he had been told. I told him I understood about his decision not to refill a prescription without seeing me first, but to choose not to tell me or answer my phone calls was highly disrespectful and unethical.and I decided he wasn't the kind of primary care physician I wanted, and left his office and went to the emergency room for my pain meds.
He is uncaring and unethical. He caused me to endure very significant pain for most of the day because he did not want to go out of his way to help.
