I am a patient with a defective defribulator who went into the hospital with concerns about the wires twisting and pain in that area.  I had been shocked because a wire broke the device malfunctioned and shocked me 13 times a year earlier.  Fortunately, the twisted wires were not breaking.  I was very rational in dealing with the situation from the moment I walked into the emergency room until the moment I woke up in the morning and Dr. Barber said to me 'DON'T YOU EVER COME IN MY ER AGAIN AND PULL THE STUFF YOU PULLED' As if I was just playing some kind of a game and thought spening the night in the hospital would be fun.  I'm only 30 years old.  There's plenty of other things I would like to be doing. He claimed that the nurses and dr's told him that I was hysterical.  I believe the Dr. was contacted that evening at an inconvenient time and was not happy that I was not in severe pain before going into the hospital.  This is the first time in my life I have had a Dr. yell and I don't plan to let it happen again.
