Within the…read morepast year and a half she has had a stroke, broke her rotary cuff, had back surgery, has had corona, has Pulmonary Fibrosis, COPD and was diagnosed with Pneumonia Two times. To say this has been a trying year is an understatement. She was recently released from the hospital for pneumonia and we brought her to stay with us in New Jersey to hopefully get her moved back up here (stubborn). While she has been up here she started coughing up brown flem. So we called her Doctor to see if they could prescribe something to help ease the cough. When we called we spoke to the receptionist who told us it was after hours (even though it was 4:30 and they close at 5:00) and that they would have to call the after hours doctor and see if he could prescribe medicine. About a half an hour later Dr. Phifer calls he did not say who he was on the phone (phone was on speaker). And when my mom asked him a couple of times he was very very rude (he said yeah what do you want, (among other non-professional words) and said you called me. I got on the phone and told him he was on speaker and that she is very sickly and that was no way to speak to her. From my little experience i had with him he was rude, could care a less about her and just wanted to get off the phone. I think we were interrupting his 4th of July weekend. Never in my 53 years have i heard a doctor be so rude to a patient. If i didn't hear it for myself i would not have believed it. If he spoke that way to my very sick mother how does he treat other patients who do not have the strength or understanding of how to even write a comment.

Did he walk across the recovery room floor to check my vitals? No. He turned and went home before any kind of diagnosis had been made, except that my blood pressure was dropping precipitously. I was admitted immediately, with my hemoglobin count dropping like a rock (any google will tell you there is massive gastrointestinal blood loss. with a hemoglobin count near 7, when normal would be 13.6). Still, no Napoliello around to check on why his patient is going south. The hospital staff (Cape Surgery/SMH in Sarasota) finally concluded that Napoliello had cut a blood vessel on the "outside" of my colon, and all that blood from my normal vascular system was dumping out into my abdominal cavity. Another few minutes, had the cut blood vessel not clotted on its' own, I would not be writing this account. Yet the doctor gets to brag "I did it in 20 minutes, take him home and he'll be fine. It's all about volume now, how many procedures can I get done today so that I can enjoy that boat you see me tying to the dock. RTW
