Dr Bernstein did not review with me the ekg reading that his assistant had JUST DONE. His assistant, Ava, didn't discuss it with me either. He did, however, explain the reading on the ekg done at my pcp's office in April, 2026.
That being said, he did explain what exactly showed up on the ekg done at my primary office

I do not want to have my blood work taken after the apt .
For 30 yrs I had it done before by myself with combatant nurses .
There is the second time in two yrs that they could not get blood . That never happened before and nothing has changed .
I believe the hippa law was broken ! I was in this room with this old guy in a wheelchair when I kept saying Owe stop ! That’s not working for me ….
