My new dialysis center SUCKS!!!

[Rerun]

Get what is called a "restraining order" it will throw him in jail if he breaks it.  Tell the authorities you feel your life is in danger.

Well here is an update on what is going on at my dialysis center as of right after my dialysis yesterday. My friend and I was sitting waiting for our rides to come cus we where finish (THANK GOD) when the girl (whose boyfriend is harassing me) comes out and tells her boyfriend they have to talk to the Social Worker and he looks right at me and my friend and said if it is bad he is gonna snap cus he isn't taking it any longer. OK after my dialysis lately I am so worn out that I didn't put to and to together that he was threatening me and I could have called the cops and had him arrested so on the way home it dawned on me then I text ed my husband and told him what he said and asked him if that was a threat cus I felt threaten. He told me yes but it was to late. So I had to promise him and my friend who we also sponsor that when I am around him that my cell will be in my pocket and to call state police cus the dialysis center is in their territory . My husband is also telling the lawyer that he threatens me and gets away with it. I feel now especially that I don't want to go back to my treatments cus of him but I know I have to go to everyone.

Also, if your phone has it, or if you have a digital voice recorder or a tape recorder, record anything while waiting and have it out in the open. Secret recordings are not to permissable in court.

chris I thought of that and am aware it is not allowed in court.

[Chris]

Ask your lawyer about it. It may not be admissable, but maybe enough to get him away from you if you played it back in front of a cop if he was called there. Or if there is a way to trick the system, like maybe calling your voice mail to leave a message but he is heard in the background. Just say excuse me I'm on the phone which would catch him knowing and he's still not shutting up.

Just a random thought of an idea.

I do have a catlog of spy equipment sold in Florida if needed.

ok update on my dialysis center. They was told on Thursday I was threatened by him and now they want a meeting with my husband and me and her and him and they scheduled it for august 4th. I called her back and said I can't make it that day cus I have a doctor appointment I  have to be out of the building by 10:30. I told her it has gone to far now cus I am afraid or should I say terrified to go into dialysis and out cus I don't know what he will do. I said to her I will get a restraining order on him if I have to. Then he can't be in the building when I am, I have to be there. She goes oh you can't do that. I said yes I can. I told her I am not taking it anymore. I was pushed over the line. Oh the head lady said yesterday at my treatment how about we move you to 3rd shift on monday-wednesday-friday . I said NO. I am the victim. So when I got done my friends was out in the lobby waiting for me and I told them she wanted me to change. My male friend said he is gonna take care of him once and for all your not changing. So did everyone else including 2nd shift.  Will let you know what happens next, I have a call in to my lawyer.

i just got off the phone with the courthouse and they said I don't qualify for a protection from abuse against him cus I am not intimate with him. I got really mad when she said if he does anything to me call 911.. I said am I still suppose to call if he kills me. I told her I need the life saving treatment he isn't even a patient there. They don't care. It is sounding more and more that the dialysis center is on his side. He knows he is getting away with stuff like hitting on the ambulance ladies.. that is sexual harassment, but he is getting away with it. I really don't want to go to my treatment tomorrow but it is suppose to be hot and I then have 2 days in front of that and since this is the first summer on dialysis I don't know how my body will react. I made my mind up about Tuesday though if they don't take me in earlier so I can make my Dr. appointment then I will get up and call my husband to come and get me or my transportation. I am really tired of the clinic. The staff hop at this guy and his girl demands we call them the king and queen. Right now I feel like I am all alone nobody besides my husband cares if I live or die. I can't afford to hire a bodyguard to go to dialysis with me. 3 times a week times 4 weeks that is 12 times.

Whoever at the courthouse said that, sounds like an idiot, but maybe each state has different laws regarding this matter.

[kidneyless_In_PA]

i told that to my husband and that I got yelled at cus I won't change my Dr. appointment cus this guy and girl said next Tuesday was ok for the meeting. I told her this is a very important Dr. appointment I have to be out of the building by 10:30 . She got really mad at me, so my husband called her back when he got home from work and made them change it to the 11th. They had no right yelling at me. but that is how they are. There is no other dialysis center I could transfer to and they know it. That is the problem.

[Chris]

You did look at the Medicare website for facility listings right?

[Hanify]

I don't understand why you have anything to do with other people in your unit.  I used to just go in, do my dialysis and leave again - I didn't care what other people did or didn't do.  I didn't speak to them other than sometimes to say hi and bye, so there was no issue about what I did or didn't address people as.  Whatever the person does or doesn't do to the ambulance staff is between them surely?

I've read through this thread a couple of times and I am still confused.  I guess I'll just sit back and await the outcome.  Course, I'm a hardass...NO ONE threatens me.

Haha! If they don't listen to me, I just sick my husband on them. That usually works. If not, then I call my mother and let them deal with her. She has been an office manager in the medical field for over 20 years and has dealt with everything medical office related, including legal issues. Everyone caves to her! I may be in my 30's, but my Mom will still protect her daughter!!
