I had to leave my fiance' in Texas while I went on what was to be an six month assignment to a nuclear plant in Pennsylvania. Shortly before I left she made me aware of the fact that while I would be away she would be having minor oral surgery performed. When I returned six months later I found that my fiance' had lost almost forty pounds in weight and hardly had enough energy to get herself to work each day. I noticed every morning now that upon awakening, she would go through about 30 minutes of gagging and coughing. Finally, after about two weeks, I took her to the hospital here in Bedford, Texas.
It was here where we were introduced to doctor Stehpen Ferney and his associates. During her first visit to Harris Methodist Hospital, my fiance' was told that she had gastro esoghageal reflux disease (GERD) and that this had caused a condition known as Barretts esophaus. Doctor Ferney had performed an Endoscopy on her esophogaus to dilate it to relieve her gagging which he said was being caused by her not being able to swallow.
I want to add here that while I was working in Pa. I lived in Maryland and during my stay, my fiance' flew up to see me for a weekend and while she was there we went to dinner one night and she complained that the meal had a strange taste. I had ordered the exact thing and it tasted fine to me. When I returned to Texas later I found out that now my fiance" had lost her taste.
While she was in the hospital my fiance tried to explain to doctor Ferney and to anyone that would listen that she had lost her taste and that she didn't have GERD. She didn't have the symptoms of GERD, but she would feel relief when she layed down... The opposite of what one feels when one has GERD. I along with my fiance' tried to explain to Doctor Ferney that she was suffering from an acute problem with her sinuses, and that she could not taste anything properly anymore and that this semmed to have started after her oral surgery. All of this fell on deaf ears. She was released from the hospital.
To make a long story short, my fiance' has been admitted to the hospital three additional times. Two more times to Harris Methodist, and once to Baylor Medical Hospital in Grapevine, Texas. It was at Baylor where her gallbladder was removed. The surgeon that performed the surgery warned us that he felt that the surgery was not necessary, but he was only the "mechanic" when it came to these things. He was only carrying out the orders of doctor Nackley, an associate of Doctor Ferney's. My fiance had no symptoms that would have made it necessary to remove her gallbladder. This is an example of the incompetence of Doctor Nackley.
In the report issued by the Digestive Health Associates of Texas, Doctor Ferney states that a Doctor Gordon Luc had approached my fiance' one night and had recommended that a colonoscopy be performed and that she had refused. I myself was present when Doctor Luc came into the room and I was present for the entire conversation. Not once did he ever bring up the topic of a colonoscopy. The only subject that he talked about was how one needs a lawyer to be able to understand the insurance claim forms that American Airlines uses for it's employees. My fiance' is an International Advantage Reservationist for American. This statement by doctor Ferney is an outright lie by either him or Doctor luc. My fiance' allowed a doctor Nackley to perform a colonoscopy on her.
Unfortunately, she woke up about half way through the examination. The only thing that doctor Nackley said was to wait until it was over. Another example of Doctor Nackley's incompetence. I have every intention to bring these "Charlatans" to justice, but being completly ignorant as far as what my options are I do not know where to begin.
As of now My fiance has over $100,000 in medical bills from all of these incompetent idiots and she still is suffering from no taste, she is on the verge of anorexia, and still, there is no medical person able to do anything for her.
We went back to the oral surgeon who has helped us get an appointment with a Stomatologist. Where this will lead to, who knows. All that my fiance' and I can say is... If you are ever in Texas. NEVER get sick or have any type of surgery performed because you never know what it may lead to... And judging from what we have seen here, there is no one in the medical community here that has been educated in modern medicine. All they know to do is prescribe drug after drug, but none of them know how to look for a CURE!!!
