May U Mbah

I was seen in the ER for symptoms the ER doc said was consistent with a mini stroke, he said he wanted to do some scans to make sure everything was ok and wanted me to see the neurologist the next day. I was admitted and moved to a different floor. No one was explaining much to me so I started doing some research about what exactly a mini stroke is and how it could affect you. The next day Dr May Mbah was my attending doctor and came in my room saying all my scans and bloodwork looked clean and that I was healthy and didnt feel comfortable calling it a stroke at all. I mentioned some of the other symptoms I had been having in the weeks prior, and she diddnt seem to know everything I had told the other doctors, but insisted I was healthy. When I had questions about the research I had found that said mini strokes may not show up on scans she got agitated, raised her voice and kept telling me no with out explaining why, and then asked why I wanted a diagnosis so bad and asked if I wanted her to diagnose me with seizures so that I could have my license taken away and have it ruin my life. No one, including myself, thought it was a seizure. I told her I certainly did not want ian incorrect diagnoses but it would be good to know what exactly happened so that if I need to make changes to the way I take care of myself that I would be informed. I also brought up other concerns and she continued to give me dramatic feedback and was very unsympathetic. As I was getting ready to leave she opened my room door and said something sensitive and embarrassing loud enough for others anywhere near to hear. She had me discharged before I had a chance to see the neurologist and I left feeling confused about what to make of everything.

Dr. Mbah is my grandmother's hospitalist (admitting doctor) @ LMH. This is day 3 status post hip replacement. I raised a concern about her trending low red blood count and pallor/lethargy. Dr. Mbah instantly went on the defensive and told me I was completely wrong in my way of thinking. I requested a repeat red blood count 12 hrs from the last-she stated that grandma was not symptomatic and therefore the test was unnecessary. I'm simply standing up for my grandma who can't speak for herself
