Patient Reviews
Aug 17, 2022
Dr. Southgate performed hip replacement surgery on my father. Time can only tell how surgery went: my assumption is well. His bedside manner, however, was atrocious. I live far away from my father. My mother and sister have passed, so I am my fathers only option for care. He refuses to move out of his home, understandably, yet has limited financial resources and is legally blind and deaf. I care for his every need from afar, and in person as much as possible; it is challenging at best. I needed to secure after surgery rehab care for my father, which unfortunately means skilled nursing. I live across state, work full time, have three children, one with specific needs. I NEED my dad in skilled nursing, to recover safely. Dr. Southgate questioned my commitment to my father, questioned my whereabouts, and asked my dad if he was a "priority". He proceeded to tell us that families who WANT their loved ones to go to skilled nursing are a huge drain on medical resources, and one of the biggest issues in the medical arena to date. He continued with the fact that this is not a problem in Portland, where he is from. ( I didn't point out the obvious demographic differences between there and the desert.) The last thing he said to us before my dad was wheeled into surgery was that skilled nursing facilities are terrible places to be, which I can't disagree with, but it was an unnecessary, inappropriate dose of negativity my father really could have done without, especially in that compromised moment. What am I to do with my three children, their health and education, and my job/livelyhood if I am away caring for my dad? Where do those resources come from? I would have loved another solution if Dr. Southgate would have only offered. Instead, he left me feeling guilty and afraid my dad would not get proper care after surgery. And it left my dad feeling scared, and ashamed, as if he were an inconvenience to me and the medical community. This was the totality of the doctor's interaction with my father. I don't care how the doctor spoke to me; I can take it any day. But my dad has been through too much to have been treated in this way. He served his country, he was a professional athlete, and now is the most vulnerable of humans. He, as everyone, deserves the upmost respect. My hope for the future would be that Dr. Southgate leave his preconceived beliefs at the door when he comes to work. Treat the individual, not the statistic. If he took the smallest amount of time to get to know his patients in the slightest way, he would be a better surgeon for it. To increase his emotional intelligence in this way would improve his surgical legacy and truly help him create something strong and meaningful within his practice here in the desert.
