Dr. Melissa Schloneger, MD

I had a stroke in my 20s. Pain was a symptom of the stroke. I complained about blurred vision, slurred speech (which she herself could hear), I complained about a weakness on the right side of my body. And do you know what she did? She chalked it all up to me being a drug addict putting on an act to try and get pain medicine. I guess due to my age.. I don't know, because I don't take prescription medicine once-so-ever and that is by choice. She did nothing for me. She just sent me on my way. This allowed for the stroke to progress. It also made it harder for me to get proper testing, because the doctors I saw afterwards kept saying "If you were having a stroke or another type of brain issue the hospital would have picked up on it." Thankfully it was a burst vessel that healed on it's own over time, because it took a total of 3 years to convince someone to do an MRI. The MRI then showed what appeared to be a 3 year old brain lesion from either a massive stroke or traumatic brain injury.

I have had the worst experience with this lady that I would not even consider to call a doctor. She is very quick to judge a person past and not want to help the present. Because of her poor decision run test or take blood work when that would show that something is going on she decided to release the patient even though it was explained to her that I have never seen them in such pain and family history of heart disease. You should never play with other life's if so don't practice!!!
