DR.CANAN AVUNDUK'S NEGLECTFUL TREATMENT OF HER PATIENT CAUSED HIM TO SUFFER A RT. FRONTAL STROKE. CANAN AVUNDUK WAS BOTH ABSENT AND ABUSIVE.
THIS LETTER WAS MY 1ST. CONTACT ATTEMPT WITH HER AFTER MORE THAN TWO YEARS SINCE I LAST SAW HER.
ONCE DR. CANAN AVUNDUK DISCOVERED THAT HER MEDICAL EXPERIMENT ON HER PATIENT LAB RAT CAUSED HIM TO HAVE A STROKE, SHE MADE NO EFFORT OR ATTEMPT TO CONTACT HIM AND ASK HOW HE WAS DOING.
IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER AND I ONLY HAVE CONTACTED HER THIS ONE AND ONLY TIME.
HERE IS THE LETTER THAT I WROTE TO HER. PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO BOLD AND UNDERLINED WORDING
To Dr Caanan Avunduk
536 Lebanon St.
Melrose MA. 02176-3523
Phone. 781-979-0286
Dear Dr. Avunduk; My name is Ronald P and I was one of your patients for almost 2 yrs. I went to you because I had been diagnosed with Hepatitis C. You were recommended to my by Dr. Alla F.
My 1st year under your care, I was on pegylated interferon and Ribavirin. This treatment failed and I was on this treatment for just over 1 year. Several months later, you started me on a new treatment with Infergen and Ribavirin . Along with this, I was having weekly injections of Procrit, taking Lexapro, and Acid reflux medication for my stomach.
You kept me under this medication for almost 2 yrs. I almost died as a result.
***** Pay special to the past tens pretense of this next paragraph*****
I was newly married living in a good home. And I was the proud and established owner of two computer businesses. My credit score was 740. I had a permit to carry a concealed weapon and had no criminal issues what so ever. And I had an impeccable reputation.
In Sept, Oct, and Nov. of 2007, I was expressing to you that I was having a really tough time. I had told you that there was something wrong with me and I was completely falling apart. In Dec and Jan. I was communicating to you that there was something wrong, you acknowledged to me that I seemed just a little bit mental but you just attributed it to the Interferon treatment.
In Feb. of 2008, I had lost my home, and my marriage and was barely able to even walk or think straight. I called your office screaming like a lunatic and you called me back several days later and stated that you were a little concerned. Then in a hostile manner, you said, Then just stop taking the treatment and so I did. You said that my life and mind would come back to normal in a week or 2 and that was about the last time that I really heard anything from you.
As it turns out, I had a stroke in the month of November 2007. I can even remember when it happened and what I was doing when it occurred. But I did not know that what I had just suffered was a stroke. The stroke was in the rt. frontal cortex of my brain. It impacted my behavior, my memory, my balance and or equilibrium, my appetite, my sleep and damaged badly my executive function.
Although I was coming to you, and although you had promised me that when issues came up, that you would be there for me and that we would resolve them or find the solutions together. You told me that you would be there and you were not. You were too busy giving your lectures, boasting about your publications, and telling all of your patients that your books were the texts that medical students use in their classes. You did symposiums and tours and regarded yourself to me as the authority of authorities in your field. You thought yourself to be the best. I believed and trusted in you.
However, you just were not there for me. And in fact, you were using me as your experiment to learn from and to better your own personal agendas with no regard to my life what so ever. I was very extensively tested for the cause of my stroke. MRIs, Cat. Thoracic, Radioactive injections to take pictures of my brain. BP, and many more. Everything was perfect. I was never a candidate for strokes or heart disease. The direct and only reason that I had a stroke is because Dr. Caanan Avunduk did not know when enough was enough.
It is the conclusion of most Dr.s that nobody should be on this kind of treatment for such a prolonged period of time. If it failed, then it failed, and you stop the treatment. I have gone through much, and I have learned much since I have last seen you. I have been through cognitive and vocational therapy.
I am on Social Security Disability for the rest of my life as the direct result of your medical practices. You destroyed my life to further your career, as you were too oblivious to concern yourself with your patient.
I do not believe that you have the moral capacity, nor the compassion to be able to comprehend just exactly the damage that you caused practicing your medicine on me and using me like a lab rat as to further your own personal career.
I have a new gastroenterologist now. He has been in his field even longer that you. I have been retested for everything including liver biopsies and all of the blood work. My count is 3mil and my liver is 1. It will probably be another ten years if ever I even become symptomatic. You told me I was going to die in a few years and destroyed all of my hope at ever trying to plan a life again
You were wrong and cruel to say such a thing to me. What kind of sadistic person are you? As it turns out, more that 50% of Asians and Russians carry the virus. Most of those that become symptomatic do so as a result of heavy drinking. I was none of those things.
In fact, I was very healthy.
Most ethical Dr.s will not put their patients on this treatment unless the Hepatitis is a problem for them. In fact, I discovered that viral count or load mean very little. It is all contingent on how your body handles the viral load, and I was doing fine. I know of patients with 50mil count and they have been doing fine for years and are yet to be symptomatic.
I should have never been put on Interferon and Infergen. The fact is, that at the time that I was treated, very little was known about Hep. C. It has only been recently that the numbers have been compiled and Dr.s are able to make a better overall assessment of the viruses affect on the overall population. I am sure that you know about all of this stuff, because that is what you do.
So getting back to the point Caanan, I was your experiment and you totally screwed up. And your patient had a stroke. When it was brought to your attention and I wanted to talk to you, your response to me was make an appointment. To this day and it has been 3 years almost to date since I had my stroke.
I have not been on any medications since I dispensed with your medical practices. I have to take melatonin and Gaba to make me sleep. My complexion and skin problems are tenacious and plague me every day. I have gobs of skin disorders now. I never had any before you used me as your experiment. I have no appetite and my brain doesnt tell my stomach that Im hungry. I used to go for days without eating until I was weak and shaking. I know that I have to eat. I force myself to eat every day of my life. I was 168LBS when I arrived in Hawaii. I am now 187 and holding. But it is an effort that I have to work on every day. I have severe sleep disorders and my body clock was wiped out in the stroke.
I stay awake every night until my body just passes out from fatigue. It takes me 3 or 4 tries before I can leave the house because I keep forgetting things. I have lost the ability to learn new things like a new trade, or to read a book and remember any of it. I can watch a movie and then watch it again a few days later and I think that I have never seen the movie before.
I have no girlfriends or wife or anyone because I am damaged and worthless because of how you exercised your applications of Interferon to me. I am not employable because I am a hazard to any coworkers around me. And every day of my life that passes, I think about you and what your treatment put me through. I think about how you were simply absent. I cannot forgive you for this.
You killed my mind and my brain and you destroyed who and what I was with your over dosages or over usage or abusive use of the drugs that you prescribed to me. You had me on that s**t for over 2 yrs. Are you mad? Are you insane? Because I think that you are dangerous and it is my moral duty to let others know.
I live in Hawaii now. I rent a small room in my brothers house. This is my 1st step to afford you the opportunity to make things right with me.
I will not be securing an attorney, nor will I waste my money and time taking you to a court and suing you for Malpractice since I would probably lose. You may perceive this letter in any way that you wish to, however my question stands steady and that is, Just how do you intend to make things right with me?
You ruined my life and I will never forgive you for costing me everything that I worked so hard for. Since my behavior is not normal any more I have lost all of those who were so dear to me. I have to wonder if you even have a conscience. I have to ask myself if you even ever cared. I am plagued with problems both personal as well as physical issues due to your medical practice on me and I am asking you how you intend to compensate me for this damage?
I do not have the resources to fight you in court. I make $674 a month. You caused me great harm and you ruined my life. What do you intend to do about it? As I stated, I cannot afford an attorney and the legal system is designed to protect sadists such as your self. Through my eyes, you are no different than a n**i that experiments on people for the sake of fame and knowledge. You violated your oath to cause no harm and you betrayed the trust of your patient.
You are a Dr. and you are wealthy. You have a thriving practice and you travel frequently. Your treatment took the opportunity away from me to be able to accomplish much of anything anymore.
You go to your home after work every night and make yourself a nice meal and then watch a little tv perhaps before you go to bed. I have no home I can call my own now. I have no appetite, nor do I have money to feed myself half of the time. I am unable to just go to bed and sleep. You have your life and health and future in front of you. You robbed me of mine.
I do not know if this letter will carry any effect upon your conscience, but I have to at least try to see if you will offer me some help because I have no one else to turn to. You have an opportunity to help someone whos life you caused great harm to and whether intentional or not, this responsibility lies totally on your hands.
So tell me Dr. Avunduk, what kind of person are you? How moral of an individual are you? How compassionate do you feel about hurting the patient that you once told and regarded as your friend? Do have any remorse or concern at all? Will you help me now that I am ruined or will you brush me under the rug and write me off as another casualty of your advancing career?
I am eager to hear from you as it has been several years and never once did you ever try to reach me to ask me if I was ok. You knew what had happened and you turned a blind eye. So I am confronting you with reality and I expect a response.
Please contact me a.s.a.p. to inform me of your intention. An apology is kind, but does little to help improve my quality of life. You have the means, and you have the way. Do you have any desire to make things right with this man? I am going to be alive for quite some time unlike your stated estimate that I would be dead in 2 or so years.
I have a long time to think about you every day. How I think about you is completely up to you. Lets see what you are really made of. I am most curious indeed.
In finality, I have discovered through my doctor that your extended experimental treatment on me was not only unlawful but unethical as well. Patients that are to be subjected to experimental drugs or length of usage of said drugs must first go before an institutional review board for approval 1st. Also it involves me signing approval and release forms akin to the said experiment. You never did this and it violates the premises of your medical license. I strongly suggest that you react and take this letter seriously. Your response will determine my next course of action. Consider it wisely
**** ON THE LAST SENTENCE ABOVE, MY NEXT COURSE OF ACTION WAS TO PUBLICIZE DR. CANAN AVUNDUKS ACTIONS AND BEHAVIOR TO EXPOSE THE TRUE NATURE OF THIS PHYSICIAN*****
In all things, there is cause and effect. And like the law, ignorance is no excuse.
All the best Ronald P.
Pahoa. Hi.

***Below is what CANAN AVUNDUK WROTE IN HER HANDWRITING, I retyped it word for word***
FACTS: Ronald is a former patient of Dr. CANAN AVUNDUK. On or around 12/10/10, Ronald sent a letter to CANAN AVUNDUK complaining that CANAN AVUNDUK's treatment was unnecessary and unethical, and that CAANAN AVUNDUK Killed Ronalds mind and brain and destroyed him. Ronald indicated that he had a license to carry a concealed weapon.Ronald indicated theat he expects a response and that CANAN AVUNDUK's response " will determine my next course of action" Consider it wisely". Wherefore CANAN AVUNDUK demands that; A restraining order prohibiting contact of any kind for one year.
98 Washington St. Boston, MA 02114.
**** CANAN AVUNDUKS STATEMENT is both twisted, misleading and false. It is a perjured document and the STATE of MA. Will accept it as true because their entire legal system is corrupt. Justice in America has nothing to do with the law as justice in MA. Has 20/20 vision. Canan Avunduks statement is false and does not represent the letter that was sent to her.
Watch Closely as the judge accepts the restraining order, as he does not care whether there is guilt or innocence, all he will care about is his or her own personal liability. Thus, anyone who files a restraining order in MA. Will succeed in having it delivered and enforced whether it is based on fiction or not, and unless you are a politician or celebrity the violation of PURGERY is never enforced.****

This is absulety unbelievable but unfortunately, it is true

Caanan Avunduk had me takin daily injections of the Infergen. My dosages were 15MCG daily. It is only supposed to be taken 3X a week Not only that, it is not recommended that Hep C patients with Gnome 1 take it because it is not usually effective. I have Gnome 1. I believe that I was used by this Dr. as an experiment to compile her own personal data.
(((ROR redacted)))
InfergenDosage and Administration
The recommended dose ofInfergenmonotherapy for patients who tolerated previous interferon therapy and did not respond or relapsed following its discontinuation is 15mcg administered three times a week as a single subcutaneous injection for up to 48 weeks [see Clinical Studies (14.2),Medication Guidefor instructions]. Patients who do not tolerate initial standard interferon therapy should not be treated withInfergentherapy 15 mcg three times a week.
4.Strokeorsymptoms of astroke. Symptoms may include weakness, loss of coordination, and numbness.Strokeorsymptoms of astrokemay happen in people who have somerisk factorsor no known risk factors for astroke.
According to 3 Rivers Pharmaceuticals, this treatment is only supposed to continue for 24 weeks. I was on it for 1 1/2 yrs. In addition, it is only supposed to be taken 3x a week. She had me taking daily injections for the entire duration. Lastly, when I requested all of my medical records because I was moving, I discovered that the records that I had received were missing all of Dr. Canan Avunduk's personal notes between Oct. of 2006 and March of 2008. I need to find myself an attorney, but my behavior is so erratic that it is going to be very difficult to find someone. I am completely disabled and survive only on my disability. I really need someone to help me.
