Dr. Phong T. Le, M.D.

Dr did not ask if I was sedated before starting procedure.  Nurse told him the IV was not working. He starting drilling into my hip, I yelled "STOP! I am not sedated". He started again, I yelled STOP NOW I am wide awAk!", I lifted my head up to see of IV was working, it was not..  He continues anyway.  He told me post procedure he heard me stay stop but HE made the decision, because he was almost halfway complete, to finish so I wouldn't have to come back to repeat procedure.  Isn't that my choice STOP means Stop!  He visited me in recovery and acknowledged he heard me say stop twice.  He said he was sorry I didn't get sedation.  
When I was ready to leave he came back and informed me that the third sample was put in wrong lab jar.  So there was a chance I would have to repeat the biopsy.  
It was written all over my chart I wake up early from sedation.  The radiology nurse told me she heard I had trouble with sedation.  I have had horrible experience with prior procedures.  O e prior procedure I work up early and caused internal bleeding requiring me to receive blood.  I didn't have enough to clot.  He opened a floodgate of horrible memories. I was proactive and told staff. No one listened.  And he should have stopped .  No excuses.  

Dr. Le did not convince me that he biopsied the correct lymph node. He was rushed, insensitive and refused to answer any questions I had regarding a previous radiology report. After searching for the specific lymph node to biopsy, he decided to just "go with" one he found. Was it the correct lymph node? I hope so, but he didn't leave me convinced.
