I
had
an
extremely
unpleasant/disrespectful
situation
trying
to
extend
my
sister's
referral
slip
for
an
upcoming
appointment
at
the
Charité.
Although
I
have
been
trying
to
reach
the
practice
by
phone
for
a
month
and
have
left
several
messages
on
the
answering
machine,
there
has
been
no
response.
Since
the
appointment
for
my
sister
(17
years
old)
is
in
the
new
quarter,
an
extension
was
necessary.
Without
having
any
other
options,
I
decided
to
show
up
in
person
today
with
my
sister
at
1:40
p.m.
without
an
appointment.
Although
the
opening
hours
were
stated
until
2
p.m.,
the
practice
already
seemed
to
be
in
closing
mode.
Unfortunately,
my
polite
request
was
answered
negatively
and
an
unpleasant
situation
arose.
It
was
even
suggested
to
me
that
my
sister
could
not
be
treated
because
she
was
not
of
legal
age.
Although
she
was
the
last
patient
to
receive
an
exception,
it
was
alleged
that
the
practice
was
not
treating
her,
with
a
referral
from
last
quarter.
The
situation
escalated
and
the
doctor,
Dr.
Chamat
and
employee
Ms.
Heim
reacted
aggressively.
Instead
of
offering
a
solution,
Dr.
Chamat
met
me
in
the
stairwell,
the
door
was
closed
and
I
was
informed
that
my
sister
was
no
longer
being
treated.
This
happened
even
though
the
long-awaited
hospital
appointment
was
approaching.
As
a
pregnant
31
year
old
woman,
I
have
never
felt
so
disrespected.
The
employee,
Ms.
Heim,
called
me
stupid,
which
is
unacceptable.
I
would
like
to
add
that
the
doctor
Dr.
Chamat
tried
to
intimidate
me
by
threatening
legal
action
if
I
published
my
review.
This
happened
even
though
I
simply
wanted
to
share
the
truth
of
my
experience.
The
doctor's
aggression
reached
a
peak
as
he
screamed
loudly
and
closed
the
door.
Not
only
was
there
a
lack
of
empathy
and
sensitivity,
but
no
alternative
or
adequate
explanation
was
offered.
Instead
we
were
verbally
aggressively
attacked.
It
was
almost
as
if
the
doctor
was
aiming
to
intimidate
us,
and
all
that
was
missing
was
that
he
also
became
physically
aggressive.
It
is
unfortunate
that
there
was
a
lack
of
appropriate
communication
and
resolution
in
this
situation.
I
hope
that
future
situations
can
be
handled
better
in
medical
facilities.
It
is
hoped
that
any
camera
footage
that
may
exist
can
document
the
truth
of
this
unpleasant
encounter
when
it
becomes
available.
This
practice
is
not
recommended
under
any
circumstances.
There
are
numerous
other
competent
doctors
in
this
industry.
