Mark R. Gibbs

"Preop consultation: my appt was at 7:30am and Dr didnt show up til 8:15am. I wasnt too happy about that. Surgery day: Scheduled for 12pm and Dr ran into an emergency situation and my surgery was postponed til 3pm. I didnt even see Dr Gibbs, as soon as he got to the hospital, I was sent back to the OR room and was out. After surgery, Dr Gibbs went out of town til Tues. Dr Gibbs had a Dr on call who came to see me Saturday and Sunday. Then another Dr on Monday. Tues came, Dr Gibbs was supposed to come see me. His nurse, Ashley called me and said that the Dr normally does late afternoon rounds, I said that would be perfect as far as discharge because my ride was at work til 5pm. 8pm came, 9pm came, No Dr Gibbs. So I decided to go to bed. Wednesday morning, I received a call from Ashley again who kept apologizing for Dr Gibbs not coming to see me and didnt want me to feel like I had been forgotten about. Believe me, that's exactly how I feel. I did not have a Dr come check on me for 48 hours. The hospital has a policy that a Dr has to see you every 24 hours. Ashley said that they were going to go ahead and discharge me and send me to a dermatologist for the burn/blister mess I had developed on my back. I was pretty upset that Dr Gibbs did not come to see me. I still have no idea to the reason why he didnt. Did he forget about me?????"
