My mom saw Dr. Shah for a consult. I sat in because she gets flustered & forgets things. She had an EKG, then he came in. After her history, she asked him for the EKG results. He said, "It would be too hard to explain." She asked if they were good or bad, he said, "Abnormal, but that's to be expected." She'd never seen a cardiologist, was visibly alarmed, so asked him to explain. He said it would be a waste of time to explain. I could see that my mom was really frustrated and flustered, so I asked, "In layman's terms, can you either explain the results, or what 'abnormal' means?" Dr. Shah said, "I could explain it, but I know you wouldn't understand what I was saying."
A) You give a patient a test, you tell them the results. FIND a way to explain it.
B) You say the results are abnormal, but explaining would be a ?waste of time?
This was one of MANY things that went wrong during this appointment with Dr. Shah. FYI, my mom got in the car, and started apologizing and crying. Not exactly heart healthy.
P.S. We did file formal complaints with the Massachusetts Medical Board, Mass General, BCBS of Mass, and the individual practice. Dr. Shah may know a lot about cardiology, but he appears to lack the ability to interact with humans.
