Patient-177
No Medical Care and None of His Prescription Medications for 8 days at Sunrise Hospital
Patient-177 went to Dr. Holman Chan at Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center. Dr. Chan told the patient he had a fractured hip and told him to do whatever he wanted for treatment. Patient went to a different doctor and learned it was actually bursitis (not a hip fracture).
Patient-177 went to Dr. Holman Chan at Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center and was misdiagnosed.
LEFT HIP FRACTURE according to Dr. Holman Chan.
My December 1, 2023, appointment with Dr. Chan, which I remember like it was yesterday, was RUSHED --- even though I was 1.5 hours early.
Someone even filled out a lot of the paperwork for me.
At first, Dr. Chan said I could go back to being a School Crossing Guard the next day with a fractured hip. Really?
His idea of a treatment plan was whatever I wanted.
Instead of answering my questions directly, Dr. Chan would reply "What do you think?" or "It's up to you."
And my follow-up appointment would have been with his assistant.
Fortunately, I got a second opinion elsewhere, and found out that Dr. Chan had MISDIAGNOSED ME!!!
TROCHANTERIC BURSITIS LEFT HIP WAS THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS rather than a fracture.
I got successfully treated elsewhere.
