Dr. Aamina Bano Akhtar, MD

I saw her for few minutes in hospital on first day for continuing kidney infection. Decided to change my antibiotic without looking at my records. I had to tell nurse that she put me on wrong antibiotic as I had Enterococcus not Ecoli and it didn't treat enterococcus. She changed it to another. Released me the next day without seeing me or asking how I was feeling due to their culture coming back negative (I'd been on a penicillin antibiotic for week prior. Next day my primary got culture back that said a third bacteria Klebsiella Enterobacter so I called her covering doctor who said they are going by their culture and technically I don't need treatment. I said I'm still having flank pain, night time sweating, nausea, chills and she snapped back why didn't I tell them? Well, they have to ask me, but didn't! Plus I did tell the hospital doctor. I think me correcting her on prescribing the wrong antibiotic upset her. Now I have to back to hospital but won't be going to Mercy

Very personable and caring. Feel I can trust her judgement.
