Dr. Bradford L. Cottrell

I urged my husband to seek medical attention after some serious abdominal cramping and excessive amounts of bloody stool. We had the misfortune of being seen at Thomas Hospital by a Dr. B. Cottrell, who basically treated my husband like a pill hunter. I would just like to ask any medical professionals out there how many druggies usually come in with rectal bleeding as a means to get high? Seriously, I can think of about 4000 other ailments I might use if I was hunting pills that wouldn't require an anal exam and blood work. This doctor is just rude, arrogant, uneducated, and does a huge disservice to what we thought it meant to be called into medicine. If you find yourself in his care, good luck! We will be seeking out a second opinion tomorrow. I'm just sorry I put my husband through this in the first place. :(
