Dr. Kirk E. Elliott, MD

My husband went here bc he had severe pain in his abdomen and was running fever *fever is a clear indicator of infection right* after a 3 hour wait to see the dr he spent maybe 3 minutes assessing my husbands condition. Told hime he had some sort of infection but didnt elaborate on what it was. Told him he was going to have blood drawn and sent it to the lab. Then dismissed him as if he was a drug seeker. Prescibed him toradol amd flexeril *NO ANTIBIOTICS even though he has a temperature as i previously mentioned* well the problem persisted growing increasingly worse.. called his office several times and never received and return call. Never received a call regarding his blood work. Fast forward 5 days, my husband could no longer take the pain and went the OGH ER to find his left lung was completely filled with fluid and had a plural inclusion... which could have been avoided had the dr assessed him appropriately as opposed to treating him like a drug seeker... So my husband ended up in the hospital, had to have a prodedure to remove the fluid from his now collasped lung and insert chest tubes...Ellioy didnt now even come to see him until his 4th day in the hospital at which time he informs us that the blood had never even been sent to the lab *but he didnt forget to charge for the inconvenience of having to draw the blood. He had no information on his condition, obvious had not read his charts, was not up to speed as to what had taken place... worse then that he didnt even seem to care and was rather brazen about the fact that he wasnt up to par on my husbands case.. his lack of care amd concern in general was a zlap in the face to my husband who trusted his medical opinion... this whole situation was not a simple oversite or mistake, it was blaten disregard amd disgustingly so... and to add insult to injury he had the nerve to mention billing for the office visit, which in my opinion shouldnt even be paid, as he never even so much as listened to my husbands lungs or try to determind the cause od the pain and infection...
