Edward Mun

"My experience with this doctor and the hospital - Beth Israel/Deaconess in Boston - was a nightmare. IN spite of the fact that I had not had a thing to eat or drink but a small t.v. dinner the evening before my surgery, all of the food in my stomach had not digested thoroughly which created a very dangerous situation for me. I awoke to Dr. Mun's yelling at me that I had almost died because I had not been 'compliant'. That was untrue. I am not a fool and, of course, had not put anything in my mouth after dinner time the evening before and a small meal at that. When he saw me the next day he screamed at me again and told me that he should never have slected me as a candidate. I was sick as could be and ran a very high fevor for several days. Nobody ever found out exactly why. BEing so terribly ill and in so much pain was tripled by the cruelty of this doctor towards me and the nurses followed suit. Nobody as much as gave me a sponge bath and I was miserable. I had and have never been so sick in my life. From what I understand the day of my surgery Dr. Mun had his staff call all those in the clinic scheduled for surgery w/him and changed the protocol entirely. He treated me very badly and callously; and the nurses at the hospital were cruel. I was so afraid of this doctor and upset that when I had my staples removed by him I insisted that a nurse be in the room with me and he got mad at me for asking her to stay with me. I am now ten years post-op and continue to have problems. Thankfully I am now seeing a wonderful surgeon at Brigham and Women's in Boston who specializes in correcting problems which are a result of GBS. Hopefully this ongoing nightmare will be coming to an end soon. Oh - and never, ever have surgery on a Friday. "
