I went to the emergency on the advice of my GP who though I was havigna TIA. Transient Ischemic Stroke. I could not see out of my left eye and suffered from a massive headache. Having arrive at Royal Columbian Hospital, I was referred to the Stroke Clinic and and Dr. Horton who called me the next day. I found him irritable and impatient but still took a history and ordered a brain scan. Yet, even though the brain scan showed multiple lesions, his office gave me an appointment for three months later and a medication that not only did not cure my headaches. I left a message with his MOA that the medication was not working but he did not bother to call back or make any adjustments. Not only that, I did not sleep for three weeks straight not realizing that was the insane side effect of the medication i was given. Multiple messages were left for Dr. Horton via his MOA. She called back to say; just take your med and he will speak to you at the time of your appointment. Yes, the med that was not working.
Finally the day comes and without asking me how I was doing or going through the results of the scan; he starts to tell me that he is upping the dose of the medication. The very medication that was not working. When I interrupted to tell him about it. His response was.." LET ME FINISH". Can you imagine? having been in pain for months. Having hardly slept for months; having waited to speak to your specialist not even getting a chance to speak...Then he accused me of not getting a word in edgwise. He said having lesions in the brain is normal; one every 10 years. and Well I am not 150 years old. when asked him to investigate my headaches. He said there is no point. Well, Dr. Horton, You do not qualify to make that call. I do not want my head anywhere near you. I find Dr. Horton Unprofessional, unkind, unempathetic, obnoxious and I don't trust any part of my body anywhere near him. He did not even bother to examin me once! Good ridden! Thank God there is just as many great and ethical Doctors in this town!
