Dr. Steven Stefan Souchtchenko, MD

I went to the ER with a severe and obvious allergic reaction. Not only did he shame and humiliate me, HE HIT ME. I'm a disabled woman with severe chronic illnesses (which he make it clear he knows nothing about and patently refuses to learn about), and HE HIT ME because he didn't want to treat me. In my records he claimed I was "drug seeking" for benadryl. FOR BENADRYL. Then he contradicted his own coworkers stating that my clear and obvious allergic reaction isn't real. Then he disparaged me while lying repeatedly to attempt to cover up the fact that, again, HE HIT ME. Treating me - a disabled woman with an allergic reaction - as a drug seeker and sub-human who deserves violence and abuse is a gigantic red flag. I'm terrified of ever being near him in any setting ever again. Just to be clear, HE HIT A DISABLED WOMAN to make his ego feel better then lied saying I was drug seeking because I wanted an allergic reaction - that lasted more than a week after he refused care - to stop.
