You whant to talk about a bad doctor.My friend had a procedure done.When she awoke from anesthegia the anesthesiologist Dr.Stephen Gephardt told her to sign a paper.She was still groggy and sign.It turns out that is a form stading that she is responsible to pay the difference of what the ins doesnt pay.My friend has a HMO ins.His office is harrasing her to pay.The ins pay over $300 and now she is being harrased for the remaining $300.Now the office is threatning to send her to collections.Now that is an ETHICAL and wrong.This doctor only thinks of himself.
Get a clue!No you get a clue!It is our responsibility to help our spouses.Would we let our spouse drive drunk?Do we blame the alcohol and beverage indistrie for the alcoholism,drunk driving deaths,alcohol fetal syndrome and ect.The doctors responsibility is to help the sick get better.The doctor gives the RX with directions.The pharmacy gives a page of information per Rx and reviews with you the directions.It is our responsibility to read the informatin and follow the directions.If we fail follow the RX we are responsible for the consequenses.That is the problem with society.Ready to blame others and not take responsibility.They blame the doctor for making them addicts,they blame the teacher for their kids getting F's, and so on.I reviewed Dr.B with the medical board and he got excelent reviews.Dr.B score high scores and had no complaints.There is many positive comments that his patients have placed.That is why I picked him.Last sunday I reviewing him again thrugh the medical board and same score high and excelent.Dr.B is not running or hidding he is just sick of the neg publicity due to the ignorant people.I do not blame him.
All the untimely death where the conequences to their actions and not anyones fault but their own.I am truly sorry for everyones loss.
People don't realize that like teachers Doctors in Las Vegas don't really make that much money.They work their butts off and get little respect.Teachers get blamed because the kids get low grading for the State of Nevada.Parents do not take responsibility for their own children in their education.They feel that they pay their taxes and it is up to the teacher to make their kids geniuses.Doctor go to school for over ten years and do four years of residency and so on. Doctors work long hours, have to know everything listlen to irrisponsible nasty mean neg people that all they whant is RX.They become addics and boom the DR. made me an addict.Do you think that the insurance pays them a lot.Dont you people hear how many people don't have insaurance.It takes alot of compassion to be a doctor.Do you think you could be a doctor and do what they have to do and see.Be there for people that are really sick and dying.The only people that mostly have comented are the people that had family members as patients.Not actual patients. How do you base an opinion on the few neg patients.Did you take the time to think maybe they did not get their fix and are retaliating. how would you feel if you were the DR.B and worked youre BUTT off and read all the NEG CRAP people have wrote.I think you would be hurt. I know for a fact that his intention was to help people not hurt them. Because he was too trusting a lot of irrisposible carless people took advantage of him.He Sold his practice because of all the NEG CRAP people wrote.I don't blame him.How would you feel if it was you're name.BOO HOOO you killed my love one.You did not put a gun in their head and say"take all the RX!"
northsider
you need to realise that she is dead.focus on the family that you have alive.Sometimes people dwell to much in the people that are dead and don't pay attention to the ones they have alive. she ended her life.DR.B did not make her end her life.She chose to end her life may she rest in peace.Yes I have had my dad die at the age of five and loving grand parents,friends so I know the pain.I pray for you and hope that each day gets better.
Thanks to all the stupid people that can'ttake
responsibility for their own actions we have lost a great doctor.Northsider and all the negative people that don't have a clue about what being a doctor is all about.Being a doctor is about caring,beliving,trusting and wanting to take care of people.Having the most compassion for all mankind.You people did not know Dr.B like his true patients did.I have the most admiration for him.I belive that a lot of people used him.Yes he should not have prescribed so much RX.I feel that a lot of people are to blame the people that OD,the pharmacies are they not policing and the family members for not seeing the sings and not getting their love ones the help that they needed.I pray for DR.B and wish him the best.I hope that people learn to forgive him.

I owe an apologise to Dr.Gephart.Today I talked to him and found out that the HMO does not pay for anesthegia.That is what I mean as far as the doctors not making much.Here in Las Vegas we have a lot of people without insurance.The doctors work long hours and sacrifise a lot of time from their families.They do it because of their love for medicine.I am sorry Dr.Gephart. Keep up the great work.May God bless all the hard working,underpayed,and underappreciated MD's.
