| 1 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 1 | Dr. McKee has meager knowledge. I developed Guillain-Barre Syndrome which attacks the myelin insulation of peripheral nerves. The first stage is acute, with rapidly ascending paralysis. But GBS is uncommon, and Dr. McKee panicked. He had no insight into his frustration: He acted as if the patient (or person) was difficult, instead of the disease. Dr. McKee was mean-spirited and scornful. Worse: When he tested my reflexes, they were absent but he didn´ t understand why; he solved it by falsifying the results in the chart. The Medical Post published my narrative in 1993. It appears on my website at http://web.me.com/medicaljustice (go to the pages GBS, Plasma, and Affidavit). Update: My onset of GBS was years ago, but I suffer long-term residua including profound fatigue. I searched for the reason and found: Dr. McKee failed to arrange plasmapheresis (plasma exchange) for me, which is the only effective treatment known for GBS. Yet the hospital had the equipment. His neglect had a cruel cost. |
