What Healthcare?

Up until recently, I was very happy with this co. Evidently it was my doctor himself I was happy with, because he moved, and since that time I couldn't possibly have found worse healthcare. Because I was in California helping my sister's recovery from a stroke, I wasn't able to see my doctor (Dr Oswaldo Pereira) and get my Rx's prescribed with lots of refills. Apparently, to punish me for this, the clinic will not prescribe refills for me. If you screw up this badly, apparently it is best if you simply go off and die. As soon as I returned from California, I tried to get an appointment with a new doctor. I was told that would not be possible until late August. This was the last week in May. The worst part of my horrible treatment, though, is when the "doctor" cut me off of one of my medications, which I have taken for years, and which has kept my treatment resistant major depression stable for years. It is a medication that is not to be stopped suddenly, yet Dr Koenigsberg felt he could do so anyway. He never spoke to me, and certainly had no plan for gradually getting me off the medication. This is simply irresponsible for a doctor. The clinic ignored every call I made to ask about the wisdom of this non-treatment. I called for 2 weeks and left messages, but it was not important enough for the clinic manager to even ask about. So, I have been without the meds since May 23. I have been trying to locate a psychiatrist since that time as well, but it is not something that can be done quickly in Albuquerque. There are precious few of them in Albuquerque, and those we have are not taking new patients. Of course, DaVita could care less about me. Having been at the same clinic for some 15 years, it was unimportant what happened to me. I find this apalling, and have filed a complaint with the state medical board. I have been stable on the same dose prescribed by my psychiatrist for these many years, but neither Dr Koenigsberg or the clinic manager could even bother talking to me. Needless, I am no longer in a stable frame of mind and I lay the blame on the incompetancy of those in charge, and the total lack of care about my health. I am 67 years, and spent many of those years trying to find something that would allow me to live my life without the constant depression drag of depression holding me down. Thanks to the worst possible decisions carelessly made by the Davita doctor and then ignored by the office manager,I can no longer say that. I don't know how long it will take, or even if I can return to a normal life after I finally come to the top of a waiting list for a psychiatrist. I can't imagine anyone calling themselves healthcare when they care nothing about patient care. Yes, I am depressed, as you can tell from this note, and yes I am angry. There is no excuse for this negligent care. This is what Davita Healthcare is about. I'm sure they know how to collect money, but they know nothing about healthcare. No wonder my good doctor moved away. I doubt he would want to be any part of a company like this. Thank you Davita for knowing so little about what you pretend to do. You should be ashamed to call yourself healthcare, I certainly would never call you that. Yes, I want to be contacted to hear what creative excuses you can make up that will make your negligence seem ok.
