Patient-154
No Medical Care and None of His Prescription Medications for 8 days at Sunrise Hospital
Patient-154 had a broken wrist and went to Dr. Arthur Taylor at Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center. Dr. Taylor NEVER looked at her wrist but said it was a simple break and would heal in a few weeks. An employee put a cast on her wrist (twice), but it caused severe pain. Patient went to a different hand surgeon. After 3 surgeries to try to repair the damage that Dr. Taylor had ignored, she is now disabled.
Patient-154 had a broken wrist and received poor medical care from Dr. Arthur Taylor at Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center.
The patient's story is told by her husband.
My wife had a fracture of her wrist. On the first visit to Nevada Orthopedic, Dr. Arthur Taylor entered the room, introduced himself, looked at the emergency room X-rays, and said this was a simple break and would heal in a few weeks after getting a cast on.
Dr. Taylor left the room without looking at my wife's wrist, let alone giving it a close inspection.
The cast guy came in, WITH ATTITUDE, and put on the cast which hurt her so much she could not sleep.
She went back a week later and Dr. Taylor had the cast removed, and the SAME GUY came in to put on a second cast. That cast hurt worse, but the office nurses told her it was supposed to hurt.
Bottom line was the cast literally destroyed her wrist.
She then went to a local hand surgeon, and after 3 surgeries, she is now disabled, unable to work, and on Social Security disability.
Four office visits, and Dr. Taylor NEVER looked at her wrist.
