Hi, Dr. Speigel's Office!!:)



Recommended Posts

Hello Dr. Speigel's Office...

Glad to see your so interested in my personal life.

I just wanted to write to give the doctor KUDOS on a terrific performance today. He did a very excellent job of blindsiding me and catching me off-guard. I hope he's happy, because he's the only person that has ever rendered me speachless.

Now, I have one issue I would like to address, and Ill write a letter as well. I wanted to know when I was going to get my $100.00 back from the gas you made me waste to get there? It took a whole tank to get there and back home, you know it would have been cheaper and easier just to tell me over the phone...but he had to feel like a "man" huh? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I saw the date on the bottom of that page, it was printed before today, it was pre-meditated. Good job at breaking my patient/doctor trust and overstepping the boundaries in our professional relationship.

If you wanted to know about my private life, I woulda told ya! You didnt have to go searching for me on the internet. I had no idea you wanted to play therapist too.

Hope your green card is good hon, because the BBB will hear from me....there's no way that its legal for you accept cash or insurance only. You tax thief! And your foreign...thanks for being another person to ruin America!

Jeez, I hate men who think they have power just because of money and a degree, when all they are holding is a stack of papers, which makes them no better than the garbage guy. If you think this is the end Doctor, its not.

Ladies and gentlemen, watch what you post....your doctor may be looking, delving into your personal life. Perhaps talking about it over cocktails and martinis at a business meeting or at lunch in a crowded restaraunt. All your private information, right out there in public.

I hope you have enjoyed all the patients I have referred to you doctor, because I won't be recommending anymore, and I will make sure that I recruit a few followers. I already know of 2 people with pending suits against you because of your lack of care with their surgeries. Hope you enjoy yourself you cheapskate. I know either you or your little minions for staff is reading this, and probably pushing print right now...:wink2:

How inappropriate. If you have an issue with your physician, take it up personally with them. No need to post publically in a forum like this. I'm sure you'll get lots of "Ooooh! What happened!?" posts.

On other forums I belong to we call this "baiting".

haha its not baiting...at all...im not discussing what happened...yet with anyone on here except the moderators. this post is form the doctor and his office, lets call it an experiment. I tried taking the issue up with him personally, he refused to speak about it and ushered me out. so, i put it on here.

lets just say i will probably be deleting my account on here in about a month.

actually if a DR has done something inappropriate, there is no better place than here, to post that information. many have voiced bad practice by office policy / medical concerns / band complications among many DR's...some find this forum their only recourse. as adults, one has to take these stories / their own research & make informed decisions regarding their health.

i will say i AM curious - i'd love to know more of the story, but that would require the OP to disclose more. to be honest - i'm MORE than reluctant to post pics / divulge "medical" information on an internet site. it's not all-together smart in my opinion; and those that want to overly share run some level of risk.....

I agree, I am curious as well. If a Doc acted inappropriately, others need to know about it to aviod making the same mistake.

This is a public forum where EVERYONE can have access. I don't know why anyone would think what's posted here would be private from physicians too.

Not everyone has to "go searching" for information. Sometimes it's stumbled across by accident.

Since the OP refuses to give the forum any more information, I can't really see the benefit or purpose of the post, other than to ruffle a few feathers and get everyone all curious. A private email or letter (as the OP commented she was going to do) to the MD in question would have been better.

I guess I just don't see the purpose of dragging it to the forum without explaining what, when, where, and why. Just name-throwing and accusations. I don't get it.

But that's just my opinion...and we all know what opinions are like.

what i find interesting is the consistent "viewers of this thread" to be: speigel , spiegel (different spelling). i can only assume "staff" - and if so, your a member, provide some insight - counter this OP's claims.

i'm someone highly suspect of inappropriate behaviour of Dr's and if mine had a surname attached to a forum such as this - i would be looking elsewhere for postop care.

if this is of a legal matter; then lets just drop this thread - till the OP can discuss completely. no offense - but if you can't at this time discuss; then it's best to "rest" and readdress.

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
