This idiot was the care taker of my father for over a year. He was in and out of the hospital for that year. Franklin could not make a diagnosis so he continued to send my father home in pain and no resolution. Finally my father became so weak that my mom brought him to Franklin's office desperate for help. Franklin's response - if he is not better in 2 weeks call me. I instructed my mom to bring him to the emergency room at St. Tammany. Upon arrival she had attendants help get him out of the car. Emergency Room Doctors went to work. Turns out that my father had mesothelioma and at this point was not treatable. After a year of being under this idiots care. I watched my father die the most horrible death that anyone could ever imagine. This doctor is arrogant and it the ultimate of Ochners belief that they are the superior being in health care. Please do not fall for it. If things do not look right. Go SOME WERE ELSE!! Seems I have to give stars to post. THERE SHOULD BE… NO STARS HE IS AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!
