Dr. Alexander Skog, MD

Saw Dr. Skog in February of 2019 at the Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center emergency room in Oregon City, OR. I thought all was well, mostly was too tired and out of it after hours of acute symptoms (which I now know were textbook symptoms of a pulmonary embolism) and wait to understand what was happening. Discharged after being told that since my symptoms had mostly cleared up, I would be fine, likely not PE, and I refused additional testing for PE that I was told was unnecessary and merely precautionary. Recently found my End of Visit Summary which listed my O2 sat at 76% - below 80% puts you at risk for vital organ damage and failure. I did not know this and was not told this, and went home. I am lucky I lived and did not suffer lasting damage. I am now horrified that this was allowed to happen, this is gross negligence at best, malpractice at the worst.
