Worst couple years of my life.
Back in Sept. 2018 I had the misfortune of having a routine scheduled abdominal CT for kidney stone indications performed at ORHC, as I was desperately needing answers for what was a serious ongoing health crisis back in 2018. Dr. Elvin McCarl with Radiology Associates, blatantly missed a 6mm or so kidney stone that was easily detected by my urologist in less than 30 seconds over two years later. The Ottumwa Regional Hospital investigated and determined the stone is on the scan but not in the report. I originally just wanted to talk to him, ask how this could have even happened. I actually wanted to sit down and have him actually show me what he missed in 2018 (just to make sure he was capable of finding it?), and make out the correct diagnostic report . ORHC didn't think that was a good idea, but turned me over to Radiology Associates, and they turned me over the Noricle Group. Turns out “old Quick Draw” lawyered up - instead of owning up to his oversight- at my health and my family’s expense.
