This man is a bully and is the epitome of unprofessional. Following a procedure that required sedation; he comes to me as I am being checked out and trying to regain my bearings and proceeds to tell me quite openly and aggressively in front of everyone, that I had said something he found offensive while under sedation and he would no longer administering named specific drug to me. I was totally horrified and completely embarrassed. I attempted to ask him what was said and apologize for what I had done to which he replied that it wasnt something he was going to repeat and turned and walked away. I cried the entire ride home and was traumatized for days. He not only treated me like I was a child whom required scolding while he simultaneously violated my rights to my privacy, but he did all of this in front of several employees and possibly other patients. There is a general lack of empathy or compassion, both of which were needed, and would have been appreciated, at that moment while being treated at the Pima Pain Care Center on St. Marys. I am looking into what I can do about my rights to privacy being violated.
