He is not on the ball. After my husband going to see him every month , for 4 months with worsening back pain, I eventually found out my husband was told to ER if not feeling better on the weekend, at a later appointment I had asked him why my husband was told to go the ER if not feeling better. He told me because of his history of kidney stones. My husband has NEVER had a kidney done, ever. He also did a test in the office, and we were told he had a bladder infection, and was given Norco and an antibiotic. I later found out, the full urine test came back, absolutely nothing was wrong. totally normal. Well...we did go to the ER over the weekend. Things were checked into, tests run etc. Come to find out my husband had a T4 fracture. Thoracic, vertebrae #4 fracture. Eventually found out that was due to cancer, Multiple Myeloma. At one point earlier my husband had been to ER with heart attack symptoms, but that was ruled out upon tests that were done. He had CAT scan done to rule out other possibilities for his pain. Sparrow ER, nor Dr Ronan told us there was something going on at his T4. So my husband fell through the cracks twice. I would not have known about this CAT scan result had I not asked for it while my husband was in the hospital. I was shocked to find out, there was something going on 4 months previously, and NO ONE followed up. A diagnostic test and patient symptoms getting worse and worse. Inexcusable period. I asked Dr Ronan if he saw the CAT scan results, all he said was he doesn’t get everything from the hospital. Then why do you give hospitals your family doctor information if they are not going to follow up, make sure family physician get results of test etc. So we had no idea the CAT scan showed something going on.
If I had know the results of the earlier CAT scan, I would have insisted on further testing., to find out what’s going on.
