Inhumane treatment
I am extremely shaken by my recent experience. During my visit, I had an ultrasound that I believed I had prepaid for, as I had done with other treatments there. Before receiving my results, during the checkout process, I was unable to pay immediately and requested an invoice, which they were clearly unhappy about. I promised to pay within 24 hours—this was all before receiving my results. I kept that promise promptly, cc’ing them in an email with my account information to make the payment which was made by 2pm.
However, despite my full cooperation in establishing a payment plan, they called my phone several times the next day (before 2 PM) while I was at work. They then proceeded to call my emergency contact/next of kin listed on my form—my aunt Miriam—upsetting and scaring her by telling her I had been in for a procedure and that they needed to get hold of me.
I felt treated like a criminal, which was deeply distressing, especially considering the sensitive nature of my visit and my status as a returning customer. This experience has only heightened my anxiety and frustration, which I had hoped to alleviate through your services.
Moreover, sharing my medical information with a family member was a serious breach of confidentiality. My aunt is willing to provide a detailed account of that conversation, which not only caused unnecessary worry for my family but also demonstrated a significant lack of respect for my privacy as a patient.
After trying to explain to the staff why this was wrong, I received no empathy, kindness, or acknowledgment of wrongdoing. I have never been treated in such a passive-aggressive manner. I felt harassed and hounded by them, and ultimately gaslighted.
When I sent my concerns, I eventually received my results, but they were simply forwarded to me without any explanation. The results were alarming, confirming that I needed to go for a mammogram, yet there was no duty of care provided in this situation. I would like a direct response regarding my medical results and assurance that steps will be taken to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
