Dr. Brian Mitchell Scheele, DO

We have seen Dr Scherle on 2 or 3 occasions in the renown ER. Each time we've been treated by him has been exact and recovery was just how he described it. He is knowledgeable and personable. His bedside manor is that of talking with a family member and has never been rude or too busy to answer any questions we have had. Just last week he went above and beyond to make sure our unborn child was ok. He made sure we could see an ob sooner than our June appt. Thank you Dr Scheele for your kindness and caring of my wife and children.

He was very kind

I was admitted to the ER with BP 165/105 and a pulse of 115BPM. I was scared. I have Prolonged QT and can't take any chances with the fluctuation of my vitals. I went to the ER thinking I would be treated with care and positive regard, but was met with defiance, rudeness, coyness, and a down right all mighty God complex by Dr. Scheele. In speaking with him about what brought me to the ER, I explained what transpired. I further explained that I know my body better than anyone. I keep a close count of my food intake, my exercise schedule, and BP and Pulse at the guidance of my cardiologist. Firstly, Dr. Scheele wouldn't hardly let me get a word in edgewise, and in speaking with him he continue to roll his eyes at me to a point where I said, "Please don't roll your eyes at me.' I am scared and I don't understand what is going on. He told me I was compulsive to a point of an obsession and did not take my concerns to heart, so to speak. He ended up admitting me to the hospital,… gave me two shots of 1mg ativan and 2 doses or morphine. I tried to wiped the slate clean by saying, "Maybe we got off on the wrong foot" and he smugly replied, "I'll treat you as if you were my sister." I felt discriminated against after I informed him that I wasn't sure if what was going on was a real issue with my heart and BP or due to anxiety/panic disorder. If you read this Dr. Scheele, let me offer some gentle guidance. Please treat your patients with positive regard. After all, you are the expert in your field and as patients we put our trust and faith in you. Please don't demean us, reprimand us, or dismiss us with your words and actions. Your behavior made my experience at WARMC worse and heightened my sense of worry, panic and fear. I cannot help what happened to me. I still have no answers as to why the sharp increase in BP, Pulse, and Chest discomfort, but I do trust I'll find answers once I follow up with my caring and professional primary care physician and cardiologist. In the mean time, I hope, should I ever be admitted again under any pretense that we start with a better foundation of mutual respect, positive regard, and being open to not only listening to what is said, but also hearing what is being spoken. I fully understand the pressures ER physicians face, but please try to understand the patients also face the pressures of being scared, not understanding the complexity of medical diagnosis and treatment, and most of all dealing with panic when it feels like this may just be the end of one's life.
