Legacy Health Systems

Dr. Michael Zimmerman was the physician on call tonight. He was very quick to respond to the page, which was total 5-​star; however his repeated sentence «It’s not my problem» that I have to wait until Monday to reach my own physician due to clerical error, is not what I refer to as «doctor-​bedside-​manners.»
He absolutely dropped it, would not offer solutions other than wait until Monday, go to urgent care even if it’s $ 200 out of pocket, suffering through the weekend or whatever because «It’s not my problem.»
Dr. Michael Zimmerman, you may know your medicine and rules, policies and more; however, you may need to go back to the school of humanity. In doing a research, it states that you: earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Vandderbilt.
Philosophy?
Shame on you, Dr. Z. You ought to know much better how to address patients who are in physical pain. They can’t wait until Monday. Perhaps it’s time to take a refresher course.
