Hi
My father is a patient of Dr Leber and is being treated for MDS, he was admitted to the Juravinski on Sept 18th and was there for 4 days for major constipation and a huge external hemorrhoids. Dr Hobbs was treating him….. Dr Hobbs kept giving him senekot and laxatives which he was already doing at home… I told Dr Hobbs this and if this worked he wouldn’t be there… they did not listen, they continued the same meds… he was in so much pain, they kept giving him narcotics which further worsened the issue. He said he was going to submit a request for a surgeon for the hemorrhoids, well he was only seen today at the General Hospital and asked why this was not given to the Juravinski colorectal dept right then and there and why was it requested at the General? he said this should have been taken care of a month ago and there was nothing he could do today because it was too late…. My father is suffering and I feel that because of his age he is being dismissed and I’m not okay with the way Dr Hobbs was treating my father. I spoke to the Dr several times but it was like he didn’t care. He was discharged 4 DAYS later with the same issue. To top it all off he couldn’t pee and instead of sending him home with a catheter, they let him go and back he came to the hospital the next day.
I dont remember the name of the doctor that saw him but stupid RUDE, I spoke to this guy too….
they stuck a catheter on my dad and sent an 82 year old frail man home in a taxi at 11:30 at night… Unacceptable!!!
