My wife recently went to the ER after experiencing a stroke where this physician was on duty. Myself and my wife's caregiver had to wait for two and a half hours to speak to this rude little man. When he finally graced us with his sullen presence, he was very rude and aggressive. I am hard of hearing so I had expressed my wishes to the caregiver so that she could deal with the problem for me. I explained this over and over as he babbled to me. He is foreign and refused to recognize the "woman" as significant and insisted in talking to me. I am very nearly deaf by most conversational volume levels. By the time I got the point he was making, I saw red. He was insisting that Hospice was the only route and that he would NOT have a feeding tube installed as was my wishes and that I needed to get used to the idea. He told me I had no choice. Me, her husband? has no choice? This man fought us for hours and eventually stormed off telling us we had no choice in the matter. After along talks… with the hospital administrator, we eventually got away from that death factory. Needless to say, I will never go back there. She is now home, with her feeding tube existing quite well. This man has poor self control. He has no manners let alone a "bedside manner" and in my honest opinion, has no business practicing medicine. Apparently his cultural bias followed him from India or Pakistan or wherever and he is unable to adjust to our culture. This man is a Hospice death cultist to the extreme. Never again.
