Dr. Hartzog, you probably don't remember me because it's been about 24 years since you helped me recover from my first ever pneumothorax. Though, I remember you well, and in fact, I think about you sometimes. Now I bet you're wondering why I still think about you, aren't you? Please allow me to elaborate...My father, a CRNA at Rex Hospital where you practiced, gave me a pneumothorax the night before by beating me to a pulp. I'm not saying I was a perfect angel, but I certainly don't think any scrawny 16-year-old kid deserves a beating, especially like the one I got from him that night. At any rate, he broke his hand on my back from punching me about 20-25 times with his fist (of course, he blamed me for hurting his hand). When I presented to you at Rex, my father was there, too, with his obviously broken hand. Now I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but I think I probably would've figured out that some kind of abuse was happening at home had I been the clinician. In fact, suffice it to say that most clinicians would've figured it out too. So, why didn't you, Dr. Hartzog? Why didn't you help me when I needed it the most? I suspect it is because you were protecting my father; after all, he was a colleague of yours. You should have been protecting me, though, because I was your patient. I just want to say that I forgive you for your failure to call the authorities on my behalf. In addition, I would like to apologize to you and your nurses on the floor for being such a pain in the rump. I realize now that I was a real pest with regards to asking for pain medicine and soda, etcetera. Plus, I probably seemed really ungrateful for the work you did by smoking a cigarette as soon as you pulled the chest tube out of my side! But there's something else that has always bothered me, something that I always wondered about regarding the events that soon followed. I was sitting in the hospital bed while talking with my mother when the tegaderm that covered my incision began to puff up. Air was collecting under the tegaderm every time I laughed and was forming a bubble of sorts. The nurse had to call you in, unfortunately, and I believe you were really unhappy about the event at the time. Now, I can't say that you necessarily did anything wrong at this point, but I honestly thought that maybe you purposely hurt me with the emergency chest tube insertion. The nurse asked you if I should get pain medication, and you replied, "No, it's an emergency." Then you inserted the tube into the front of my chest and seemed to stab me several times with it as it was inside of me. You claimed that you were unable to find the right path and continued digging around inside of my chest wall. At the time, it was the most painful thing I've ever experienced, and to this day, nothing tops it. If I ever had the chance to meet you again, I'd like to know if you did that on purpose or if it was all necessary. And for the record, I am in the medical field myself now; I know it wasn't that big of an emergency to insert the "portable chest tube" without medication, and I've never seen any doctor/clinician digging around for the right path during a chest tube insertion as you did on me. So what happened? I believe you are sworn to do no harm, aren't you?
