True story:
Undergoing a livery biopsy, the doc was going to take a huge needle and core a few samples.
The nurse (Korean female), nice person, attentive and able, she gets this local anesthetic stuff that the doc is supposed to stick me with, first, to deaden the surface pain as the horse-needle jabs through my skin and into my liver.
She preps the stuff and leaves the small bottle of anesthetic on the tray, next to the small needle that would be used to administer the anesthetic.
Doc comes in, a paki islamic male doc (Mohammad Al SXXXXXXX), and he chats a little (can hardly understand him), and then he picks up the unopened bottle, breaks the seal and fills the needle with the pure anesthetic.
When he turns around and starts to make a motion towards me, the nurse says, “Excuse me Doctor, but may I have a moment.”
They turn and soon a animated hushed discussion takes place. Eventually, he turns around and tells me “not my fault,” that the anesthetic solution was not diluted like it should have been, “not my fault” that he was about to inject me with the full solution that would have seriously hurt me if not killed me, “not my fault” if he had stuck me with the needle AFTER the nurse told him of his error (he didn't stick me, not because of his recognized error, but that the nurse threatened to get security if he went ahead and tried). That part really pissed him off. You see, according to muslim male docs, they can't make a mistake, it's always somebody else's mistake.
I get this because I am listening very carefully as he is hard to understand.
So, here the doc was, ready to stick me when he was told about the solution error he made, and would have done so even after being told about his error.
I said, “I'm outta here,” and left. Went to my medical plan on-line, found a W/M doc with a typical American name, and had the procedure done correctly. Why? because I know the W/M made it on his merits and was not some diversity hire or some hokey foreign trained quack, and besides, women all the time select women docs and no one bats an eye.
My life, my choice on who to see.
I understand what you did. I would have done the very same thing. For a doctor to screw up on something so simple, and then to take offense about it, tells me he is not qualified to be there. God bless the Korean nurse, she may have saved your life!
