Doctor Complaint: Timmothy Beard - St Charles Medical Center

I went to dr. litchfield for a small hernia and a check up,the results showed I was end stage liver and had a gall stone.They could not do a liver transplant but could do a gall bladder,which they decided on doing the gall bladder removal BAD decision.You DONT do unessasary surgery on a dying man.The moment they cut into me they changed my life forever,ascties filled my stomach cavity,they finished the mess and left.They actually abandoned me from that point on till weeks later when I left. The er doctors were now in charge of my care but doing so grudgingly as I later became aware of. In the er doctors notes he wrote find patients primary doctor"I am not and will not become patients primary by default"One of er visits was because I had taken aspirn and in his notes he states"unfortunately patient was not advised to avoid aspirn products"I was being treated for encepalopothy during my visits but not made aware of it resulting in two car accidents in 15 minutes.ect I ended up at the mayo clinic in arizona,than was air ambulanced to Fairview hospital in minnesota.The ascities had caused the largest hernia(per Dr. Lake) at fairview in history. Many many hernia repairs later, it is still a problem to this date along with chronic pain. None of my other doctors at Mayo or Fairview can understand why I got a gall bladder operation knowing that I was in end stage liver disease. Feel free to contact me at my email and share your experiences. If it wouldnt have been due to the statue of limitations, I would have easily won a law suit, but during the time I was too sick to take on the stresses of a law suit.

St Charles hospital Sucks the nurses are killers and the nuns are crazy, there was a nun that was tending to my mom on her death bed and when my mom asked the nun was she going to die the stupid nun said I don't know, after all the education these old bitties get they don't know how to give encouragement to someone in there time of need.I have no respect for these little hardup ladies...
