I have been suffering from Endometriosis for the last five years. I was referred to Dr Munia Karah by my family doctor after having had multiple emergency visits and my MRI reports indicating intense problems. Her clinic put me on a one year wait list, despite my constant pleas. I literally begged the receptionist to bump me up as I was in tremendous amounts of pain and passing out every other day due to that. They literally told me that since my condition was not considered “fatal” I was not their priority.
I didn’t have any other option but to wait. After one and a half year of waiting for my first appointment with Dr Karah, I went to see her, and she dismissed me in five minutes. I was in and out of her clinic in less than ten minutes and that included my time of filling some paperwork. She put me on a progesterone pill. I kept insisting to get some ultrasounds or MRI done, because my pain had intensified in the waiting period. I told her that I had zero quality of life left. My pain had spread to many regions, which was a clear indication that my endo was spreading and worsening. She refused any intervention and told me to take the pill for six months.
I was scheduled to visit my home country around that time, so I went. There, since I was already quite sick and already visiting the ER like it was my second home, I was taken to the ER while being there. Medical protocol there dictates that in each ER visit, they run all the tests and hook you up with a specialist right away. My MRI was done and it produced even worse results this time. I had blood accumulation in both of my ovaries, my fallopian tubes were filled with blood to the point that they were about to burst. My intestine had blood, my rectum had blood, my uterus had various blood pockets and small and large cysts, my uterus was reverted and my ovaries were misplaced, where my left ovary twisted from the back was hugging the Douglas pouch on the right side. Needless to say, it was horrible. I was quickly given an appointment with one of the country’s top surgeons. He saw me within a week and discussed my reports and did some more tests. He explained how I’m going through a chronic condition which has gotten so bad that they must intervene now or it could get fatal. He explained that it was not a cure, but a surgery would suppress the symptoms and would give me my life back. With proper medication, they could even prevent it from coming back, but with how my condition was, it was necessary to treat the spread.
My surgery was done in a week, and even in that one week, I ended up in the emergency twice after fainting with pain: That’s how bad it was.
Cut to when I came back to Canada and went to see Dr Karah again. I was hopeful that my specialist in Canada would take care of me mow post op. However, when she found out I had surgery done in another country, she lost it. She literally started to insult me, my doctors in my home country, questioned their integrity, and insulted me for doing this to my own freaking body. She started to scare me on how I had made a horrible mistake by getting a major surgery done. I kept asking her to look at all my reports, all my tests, and what they did in my emergency visits and what procedures they performed. I told her that I was sure if she’d go through my reports, she’d accept it too that surgery was my only option. She blatantly denied, and said that never in a million years would she consider surgery as an option, no matter how bad it was. She kept questioning the knowledge of my doctor.
She was so petty about the whole thing and literally took this as a shot to her bruised ego.
I left her clinic crying and cursing myself. That’s how horrible she made me feel.
She’s a terrible terrible person and if you value your life at all, don’t go to her. I wish people like her were not in this wonderful profession.She would’ve watched me die but would not have intervened because according to her, a mere pill would have done the job in a few months when my condition was so bad that the hospital had become my second home. Lol! Her word is set in stone and she is so arrogant that she would not think twice that she could be wrong. She won’t listen to you at all. She won’t consider your pain as that, to her, you have a low pain tolerance, you’re always at fault. To her, she’s God!
SHE IS AWFUL! Save yourselves. She’d literally kill you than to change her opinion or look at things differently.
