I hate my anesthesiologist

I hate my anesthesiologist. I should have backed out before the c-section. But, I was transfused with blood products already. I don't want to call off the c-section that day. Should I trust this arrogant anesthesiologist?

I told him that I am allergic to three local anesthetics. He gave me a sarcastic reply: doctors cant be a good accountant. And accountants cant be a good doctor. I guess this was his most polite reply. This is short of saying mind your own business.

This is dumb I do, dumb I dont situation. i will be blamed for anti untowards incident that may happened to me if I dont declare before the procedure that I am allergic to some anesthestetics. If I tell the doctor that I am allergic to some local anesthetics, he feels I am a know-it-all person, as if I am trying to compete with his bread and butter. Hey! It is my right to be informed as a patient.

He said nobody gets allergy from local anesthetics. He will be using preservative free anesthetics. Then, I asked what anesthetics shall he use? He replied: he will not put his license at stake for my operation. Wow! That sounds reassurance ah. People develop allergy from preservatives only! Noted, sir!

I remember during the procedure he put gas into my nose. I just dont know what gas is it. When, I was in the recovery room, I saw red light blinking in their monitor. I try to peep on the monitor, but i was helplessly unable to carry my body. I was too tried to talk, Too tired to ask what went wrong. I was then put into trendelenburg position. Hmmm... What went wrong? How much was my blood pressure?  A week after my discharge, I asked the hospital to release my medical record particularly the anesthesia record. Ouch, my blood pressure was 70/40. I guess I had made a correct reading.

I remember before discharging me from the recovery room this arrogant anesthesiologist told me that I may experience itch. It is not allergy but it is a reaction to morphine. He has prescribed an antidote. I then said: not benadryl yah! He gave me the assurance that the antidote to itch is not benadryl. It is Nubain. Nubain contains preservatives. I got difficulty breathing right after. Is it the result of my anesthesiologist negligence?

By the way, what is the credential of Dr. William Billy Ong ?
