I was on 4th floor GMC. Had a nurse named Lynn B. She degraded me, made me feel like I was a dirtbag, yelled at me like I was a child, never sent papers to a doctor that she said she talked to them and verified. Ppl did jot get anything verified. When I called back she said my papers were good enough and hung up on me. Some call me please! Not enou
GCMC violated my hippa! I stated in ER this one specific person was allowed to know everything about me. And I stated 3 times make sure only he is the only one allowed I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO KNOW ANYTHING BESIDES HIM! My sister called concerned for me because I didnt answer her because I was sleeping and they gave her every detail of why I was there what I had done my results for things EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING that was happening to me she knew before I got to share WHAT I WANTED HER TO KNOW bc I dont talk to my family and they gave all my information!
I do plan on talking to lawyer about my hippa!
Geisinger Health System - medical negligence
Date of incident - 6/19/2018
I fell at Church on 6-10-18 which resulted in a break to my left shoulder. I was taken via ambulance to Barnes Kasson Hospital. They do not deal with shoulder repalcements and advised that I need to be seen elsewhere. They set up an appointment for me to see Dr. Gregory Francis Thomas on [protected] At CMC Geisinger in Scranton, PA. I was transported via ambulance to his office. While at the appointment they did an X-Ray. He told me I could take a few ibuprofen. He did not offer any advice on what else needed done. My shoulder did not improve at this point. The swelling continued and it was very painful. I had a follow up appointment with him a few weeks later.
I went back to see Dr Thomas July with no improvement to my shoulder. He informed me that I need to wait and see how it heals. I was not able to move my shoulder at all at this point and it was very swollen and painful.
When there was no improvement weeks later I went for a second opinion to a hospital in Binghamton, New York. The Doctor informed me that I would need a total shoulder replacement as the break was so bad it would never heal up on it's own. I had a complete shoulder replacement on October 29th, 2018.
I am writing this complaint to advise that I am seeking the advice of a lawyer as Dr Gregory Francis Thomas neglected to help me fix my shoulder. I suffered for over 5 months. Had the Doctor done his job my shoulder would have been surgically fixed months ago.
I feel for you. Compassionate care has gone DOWN THE TUBES here at Geisinger of late. I have been noticing a huge change in their level of compassionate care and quality of service. I think they are getting called out and don't like it-- all the babies that died in there, and the federal investigations and on and on. They need to get their act together. I suggest they get a new CEO for starters.
