It’s been 11 years but My family is still suffering from the horrible nasty experience with the Dr. Raymond Wadlow. My dad was a gallbladder cancer patient and was a patient there back in 2012. One day the receptionist sent me an email to make an appointment for his next chemo. So I made an appointment and helped my dad going to the office on September 21, 2012. Make the story short we got kicked out from his office with the doctor telling us “why are we here for chemo. he’s going to die anyways.” I couldn’t stop crying and my dad tried to make me calm down. I’m sure he cried harder inside of himself. I let my dad sit in the lobby and went to get my car because he had two bags hooked up to his bladder and it was difficult to even come to the office.
I tried to live happier than ever for my dad. But this terrible memory keeps pulling me and my whole family down. So I decided to share my story. I don’t know if we are the only victim. I hope that it doesn’t happen to anybody else. I think it is incorrect to give false hope to patients, but as a doctor you need break the news to the patient with empathy in mind.
The biggest regret in my life is that we met a doctor like him and put my dad in that situation.
