Took my boyfriend (William Elgin Jr.) to see his primary doctor (Dr. Saunders at Summa Health) on a Monday with issues of not eating, vomiting, severe stomach pain, and urinary issues. My boyfriend has ALS and is unable to move. Dr. Saunders did not even touch him to check his stomach or his urine bag, but rather sat there and told him he would refer him to a gastro and urologist. Not even making it urgent.
By Saturday, William was in so much agony that I finally called 911.
He's been hospitalized since then. He has a severe blood and bladder infection.
He's been on massive fluids and antibiotics, and currently, he's been admitted to the city hospital. Today is day 4. As of now, there is no estimate when he can return home.
I will be filing a complaint with the state medical board. And possibly contact a lawyer. read more
