Nurse Lied on My Chart? Should I Contact the Medical Director? Would You Be Angry?

I make a huge error in judgment and went to Planned Parenthood to have the STD treated that I caught from a sexual assault. The nurse completed botched the treatment but that is another story.

In my medical file under "counseling", she checked off the following: smoking risks, safer sex, STI Risk Reduction, HIV Risk Reduction, Emgergency Contraception.

However, she NEVER gave me any type of counseling on those topics at all. She completely lied.

I then made a complaint with the "Privacy Official" at the regional Planned Parenthood office. However, she didn't seem to care at all. Her response was "OK. Do you want me to mail you some pamphlets on safer sex then?"

She didn't think it was a big deal at all!!! She thought I was complaining because I wanted education on those topics. Instead, I was outraged because the nurse falsified my medical file.

Should I go to her supervisor???? This makes me mad. How can nurses get away with this? Also, I found it insulting because I am not sexually active and I got the STD from a sexual assault. I don't need counseling on safer sex.

If you dont need the counseling or education, is it really that big of a deal, it seems like you are going to go through a lot of work for something you dont even need and doesnt matter. I am sorry that you were a victim of assault I am sure that is hard to go through. But I wouldnt do anything about this nurse thing it is just going to be more stuff for you to deal with, pick your battles, you have been through a lot dont make things harder.

Forget it. Planned Parenthood exists to sell abortions. Period. Everything else is just for show, and they do NOT care about you, or about following the law.

I wouldn't really be angry. But you can just ask the nurse what exactly did her "counceling" entail. Because you don't recall her giving you any counceling

I would definitely go to the Medical Director's Supervisor or someone else that is higher in "rank!" If this doesn't work, I would write to them and report this.

They (Planned Parenthood) can't continue to make mistakes like this and lie to people. It's not right! You have the right to be a little angry.


P.S--This is not the first time I've heard of Planned Parenthood being "cold" like this before. They are sort of known to be that way.
Here's an interesting video that was secretly filmed by a 13 year old girl on her trip to planned parenthood:

This video shows how deceptive planned parenthood can be. (Don't worry--it's a 'clean' video to watch and it's short too:)
