Billings Clinic Creates Insurance scam, Leaves probe stuck in my urethra Stuck Medical Probe, lodged in p***s Billings Montana
On May 29th I was admitted to Billing Hospital Emergency ward due to Kidney Stones
original Cat Scan showed 10 MM Kidney Stone, later I was told it was 16 MM, about the size of a nickel.
A Laser was use to break up kidney stone, I should have been released a few hours later
but when waking up after operation I was told that the Probe became lodged in my Urethra
because of the kidney stone fragments and that just last week they (Billing Hospital, Urology dept)
they had had a meeting about this potential happening even though it had never happened before.
I was then forced to spend the night at hospital with the probe taped to my leg and inside my p***s
I could not get up to pee, so made to pee in depends and changed often by the nurses.
Peeing was very painful, but I did not take any medication for pain
then next morning the Doctor “Lisa Bland”, slid out the probe (much more pain)
then was taken to another operation where a Stint was put in and a catheter
I missed my flight home which cost us an extra 500.00
had to have stint removed a month later (another 400.00) and urn test another 600.00
I feel as if I was used as a Guinea pig to test this procedure, I have no insurance, which made me an easy mark, added 20k – plus to my bill for hospital
no other urologist I have talked to has ever heard of this happening before
as of today Aug 24th I have not received any medical report even after numerous requests
this was either a experiment or faulty equipment (if I could get my medical records I could trace the probes manufacturer and they are designed not to get stuck), I believe that Billings Hospital has come up with a new procedure to get more money from insurance company's, I am sure probes are designed not to get stuck.
I am being billed over 30k so billing Hospital can rip of insurance companies and for being a test case for this new "just in case this ever happens procedure.

Do Not Honor

I have gone online to make payments which have been refused saying “Do Not Honor” at top of site
this was after inputting credit card info and before setting an amount, I did contact Financial Services
several times, best I got was it was a website issue due to updating and to try again, which I did 4 times.
I had Dr. Dana J. Weaver-Osterholtz, MD remove the stint left in me (a month later), Trudy was the nurse, I was prescribed a 24 hour urn test which I did (600.00 later) and have not heard back from them, and have called (first of Aug) to get results and still not heard back.
