As a hospital administrator, I always have a keen eye when I go to hospitals other than my own. My mother was assaulted at work and suffered a knee injury. Dr. Dickey showed repeatedly that he did NOT have a heart. He seemed to care more about the financial aspect of her situation (worker's comp claim) rather than her well-being.

Unfortunately, I couldn't be present for this surgery and another sister (who is not a medical professional) was there. My sister was never able to get a definite/final diagnosis.
