Paris Regional Medical Center: Emergency Department

I had the misfortune of coming down with appendicitis with this place as the closest ER. While most of the staff was friendly, though laced with incompetence, what made this experience miserable was the appalling level of douchebaggery of the surgeon. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone as condescending and disengaged as the a**hole who treated me. Every brief exchange (about 60 seconds a day, only because I tried to drag it out) was dominated by his patronizing snark. Ex, me: «What EXACTLY happened during the operation?» Him: «You had surgery. We took your appendix out.» Me: «No, I mean, my throat hurts. I assume you had me on a ventilator?» Him (quizzical, as if talking to a moron): «Yeah, we put you on a ventilator. We do that so you can breath.» Through the whole conversation, he’s backing away toward the door with every answer, interrupting me, trying to wrap things up before I get too curious about the first major surgery I’ve ever had.
I’ve seen doctors with «poor bedside manner». But I’ve never encountered a jackhole this repugnant. If you have the time to get to a real hospital, I highly recommend it. The only reason this place gets 2 stars instead of 1 is because of the infrequent smattering of compassion and competence I found amongst the nursing staff.
