Horrible. Worst MD experience of my life. Our 2-year-old began vomiting over the weekend, so we took her to the ER for treatment. Dr K mis-diagnosed her 24-hour stomach virus as a urinary tract infection. Prescribed $700 in medication that *thankfully* the experienced pharmacist dissuaded me from filling. According to the MD in charge of the ER department who later covered up for Dr Killelea: "The UTI test initially showed some signs of a positive, but showed negative the next day. She acted correctly with the info she had at the time." Oh really? Would "some signs of a positive" be akin to being "a little bit pregnant"? Do cultures commonly flip flop over night from sort-of-positive to negative? If so, would it not be protocol to alert the patient the next day: "That $700 in medication? Don't give it to your 2-yr-old because the test shows negative today"? She sure was pro-active in hounding me for her fee.
