WA State has terrible allergists/immunologists. The drs and their staff are petty, vindictive, retaliatory, slander patients to other drs and get away with it because of the GESTAPO health system in this country, because state depts of health, HHS, CMS, and both State and Federal politicians are deep in the pockets of this GESTAPO healthcare industry. Dr. Weir is no different. After two visits to her office, the office refuses to respond via the portal, her office began complaining about my PCP's office who she agreed could give my allergy shots because I live in a remote area. I'd already told her that my skin is extremely sensitive, plus I am a CVID patient, along with other multiple chronic health conditions, they were trying to get me up to maintenance dose for the allergy shots too fast. I asked why are we doing this at warp speed? When I've had shots in the past, standard operating procedure if the patient's arm reacts too much, is to back up to the previous dose. The MA and the… person in their allergy dept had begun being rude to me on the phone, and I'd asked them to have Dr. Weir call me, as they said she wanted me to allow a steroid in my shot which I've never even heard of, which is inappropriate for immunocompromised patients and is totally unnecessary, when all that needs to be done is for the dosage to be lowered until my aging body adjusts to it. She called mid-day and screamed at me like a banshee, and began making false accusations, accusing me of "disrupting their office," and that I am "borderline harassment." She said she had 3 mins to talk, yet wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise, then she called again at the end of the day and did the same thing, this time telling me she was going to send me a discharge letter. I sent her a fax the next day informing her that it is my habit--which is necessary nowadays for patients to protect themselves from toxic drs and staff--to keep meticulous records of all communications with my providers, and have audio recordings of each phone call, phone message left, and both of her tirades. I gave her two options, to transfer my care to Dr. Vegh in that office and continue my CVID, asthma, and allergy care--esp since she exhausted my allergy testing benefit, then thinks she can dump me mid-treatment, which is medical malpractice--and that her employees will treat me with the respect I and all patients deserve, or, I will file Medicare/Medicaid fraud complaints, State DOH complaints, etc., though I certainly did not promise I wouldn't post Internet reviews, so the following Monday, her allergy lab employee called me back and said my care is being transferred to Dr. Vegh, and that my allergy shot is being backed up to where it was when I didn't have as strong a reaction. I don't know what Dr. Weir's problem is, I don't know if she's an impaired professional--and there's a lot of them out there--as she also, during her tirade, complained to me about how poorly she's paid, which is certainly not my fault and which patients have no control over--if she has mental and/or emotional problems, if she was slandered to--which is likely--by other drs who have pulled this exact same stunt--which is what has prompted me to keep meticulous audio/visual records of all telephone and in-person interactions--if she's in the wrong line of work, or what her problem is, but she owes me an apology, and she needs to get over herself. There is no excuse whatsoever for a dr anywhere to make false accusations of patients, particularly aging patients who suffer from multiple chronic health conditions that are negatively effected by unnecessary stress. There is no oversight whatsoever in this country of bad drs and staff due to corruption, so our only voice as patients is the Internet and social media. Instead of wasting their time backbiting and slandering patients, they should focus on providing excellent care which will yield good reviews. Word of mouth is very powerful. For whoever reads this, I cannot urge you strongly enough to protect yourselves and audio/video all interactions with drs because it will be their word against yours unless you have proof, and to not be silent about such healthcare industry abuses. Write Internet reviews and write about your experiences on social media.
