Karen decided to harm my chance of getting adequate care and protect her liability as she was prescribing medication never having seen me, while not providing me with the proper tests and procedures needed to get better. When a test was performed which demonstrated I was much more seriously injured than she had known about having never seen me but was told to just give me pain medication by another, she then attempted to cover this up, along with the hospital that accidently uncovered serious injury when doing an emergency scan of my abdomen which incidentally demonstrated a serious back injury which did not have adequate testing prior to this. She then attempted to skew my future treatment in order to hide this rather than treat me for the severity of this uncovered injury, which she also failed to document. When confronted about this she gave me a cheery answer which made little sense, telling me that she thought my attempt to discuss something important with her which she repeatedly interupted refusing to listen to the point I tried to make was an example of my inability to communicate, when it was important that the severity of my injuries and pain were interfering with my ability to function on every level. She simply didn't want to hear about the severity to which the injuries were effecting me, and wished to minimize my injured state after I explained that the severe pain I was being left in may be causing brain damage, as studies were showing and this concerned me. She refused to document the seriousness of my injuries and treat those rather than sending me out concerned about her and her capability as a medical professional. And this is dangerous to patients and I suggest that others be cautious about seeking care from someone with this level of ethics.
