Charles E Whitney, MD

This man lied to me about my condition in the emergency dept. I went in for a kidney stone. I gave a urine specimen and went in for a CT scan. I was in excruciating pain. I know when I have a stone because I have a genetic condition and I’ve had dozens is kidney stones over the past twenty years. I was crying because I had two surgeries four months ago to remove three stones. Back then I had a raging infection and the entire ordeal was a nightmare. Dr. Whitney came to my bedside, told me I had no blood in my urine and no kidney stone. He had me immediately dismissed. Because of my crying, he asked my husband if I was suicidal so he could have me committed to a mental ward against my will. The best part? I went to my Internist the next day. I gave another urine specimen. It was positive for blood. She called the Coronado Sharp hospital, where she learned that my urine specimen was also positive for blood. I also learned I have a kidney stone. This doctor lied to my face and I have no idea why someone would be so sadistic. I reported him to the hospital’s advocacy group. They were interested in my experience. Tomorrow, I’m off to my fantastic urologist.
