Lack of empathy. Lack of anything a doctor should hold honestly, especially being in the field he’s in. My mom was 57. Magnetic. Vibrant. The peak of so many people’s worlds. And he ended that. I know things happen medically that are out of your control. But he couldn’t even stop by when things got worse. The last time he saw her in her three months at the hospital (out of the 2 or 3 times total he stopped by) he treated her like a statistic and only talked about his successes. She was a mom, a grandmother, a wife, a daughter. Loved by so many people. Please do not take your loved one to him. Please
