Dr. Sewell is a very dangerous man. He is methodical, cunning, devious, and prays on the elderly that look for the old timey doctor that will let you come into his office rather than go to the cold uncaring emergency room that lets you sit for 12 to 14 hours at a time before you get to see a doctor. The problem with Dr. Sewells method of old doctor treatment is he only cares about the money not the patient. And I will prove that to you now.
When I first started going to Dr. Sewell back in August on my very first visit he actually prayed with me and my care giver, yes that's right prayed! But he forgot to use his stethascope to listen to my vital signs all he was interested in was pulling the wool over my eyes which he did very well. I have to admit his cunning really fooled me and I'm not easily fooled.
Through the year he continued to do some pretty suspecious things for example he never had me on the exam table and checked me out. Now that might not sound like a very important thing to anyone else but to me it's very important. I am a 55 year old woman that has had 3 open heart surgeries, I also have lukemia because of the bad combination of medications that the doctors have given me I am anemic and I am on a heart transplant list or at least I was until they discovered the lukemia now I am no longer a canidate thanks to the glorious doctors and their wonderful way of making me their own personal guinney pig with the new drugs that come out and I got to try for them. But that's not all. He told me not to go to the emergency room when I had chest pains any more. Now I'm not sure how stupid I looked to him but when he said that I deceided I better start carrying a tape recorder to my visits with me cause this man was a real jerk.
So at my next visit I wanted to confirm what he had told me about the emergency room thinking maybe he was just in a bad mood or something but when I ask him he confirmed in no uncertained terms that I was not to go to the emergency room for any reason but to come to his office. He also told me I needed to get on a more spiritual plane. When I ask him to please go over my medications with me because there was something I was taking that was making me itch and I needed him to help me find that med. He told me he didn't have time to write them all down and he would go over it the next time. I ask him what I should do about the itching his words were "don't scratch".
The itching got worse and it started causeing hugh bruises on my upper legs so at my next visit 5-21-09 my caregiver and I went to Dr. Sewell's office and my bloodpressure was taken and it was 50/38, needless to say that is extremely low so low even I know an ambulance should have been called but instead Dr. Sewell and several of the doctor's in the clinic that practice with him were fixing to go to lunch and to hurry and get me out of the way he had the nurses, which I also hold responsible, give me 5cc's of ativan IM which caused my blood pressure to spiral out of control so fast that I don't even remember leaving his office. My caregiver got me home and put me in bed and stayed with me until my husband got home as soon as he got home he knew something was desperately wrong. I was freezing cold and he could not get me to wake up. So he got me in the truck and rushed me to Scott & White Hospital Emergency Room.
In the ER they did all they could but my kidneys went first I went into complete kidney renial failure then all my other major organs started going one by one they put me on a lung machine and I slipped into a coma. I was in a coma from 5-21-09 to 5-27-09 when I finally woke up.
That doesn't sound like a long time to you but to my husband that sat there watching his wife literally dieing it was an eternity. It is a terrible shock to wake up and someone ask you do you know where you are and you don't, and then ask you what day is it and you think it's friday and it's actually tuesday of the next week. A very horrible feeling comes over you and this empty sinking feeling sets in and you know how very very close death was to your door.
I want to get Dr. Sewell out of the medical profession he does not deserve to pray on the sick and the weak by using their faith in God as a weapon against them. He needs to be stopped. I don't believe for one minute that I'm the first one he's done this to nor do I believe that I will be the last. I also believe that he has actually killed people with his careless medical practices.
I want to hold Dr. Sewell and everyone in his employ responsible for what happened to me and I want to hold Scott and White Hospital responsible for hiring such a high risk doctor and I use that term lightly when all I had to do was call Hillcrest and I found out why he was fired from their employ so why didn't Scott & White check out his resume or maybe they did and hired him any way. If that's the case they should be held as much responsible as Dr. Sewell.
Something has to be done about Scott & White and all their employees they are a monopoly now and do we all want that kind of treatment to look forward to when we get sick? I don't. I want to know when I go to the doctor he/she is not going to try to kill me but try to help me, the same with the hospital. It's really not that much to ask for, what did they go to college for anyway?
