The physician assistant was very thorough and appeared very concerned about my condition. He mentioned that a tumor on the kidneys is usually 80% cancerous. The doctor on the other hand did not approach my medical issue with the concern I was expecting. When there is a tumor spotted on your kidneys, I assumed a doctor would find that concerning. Dr. Lorentz did not offer any proposed medical treatment for the tumor and didn't discuss any further investigation of the tumor. Instead, he suggested I return to my primary care physician for further evaluation or to go to the ER. He further suggested I return to him in a month while this tumor is growing on my kidney. The only acceptable treatment Dr. Lorentz provided was to order blood work on my adrenal gland for the tumor growing there, and refer me to a gastroenterologist oncologist for the tumor growing on my pancreatist. There was no physical examination even though I informed Dr. Lorentz that I was experiencing pain. Further, since my urine sample showed no immediate concern, he was content sending me away with a follow-up in a month's time. |
