Dr. Merunka Mordasiewicz utterly failed my mom. She put in a referral to a Respiratory specialist in 2017 when my mom was having trouble breathing and there was a visual nodule in her right lung. My mom followed up with Dr. M countless times to see when her referral would be coming through. Dr. M continued to explain to my mom that she sent the referral and that my mom probably just hasn't checked her voicemail or lettermail. This went on for two years. My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in June of 2019. The referral was to Dr. John Reid in Victoria. When we were finally were put in touch with Dr. Reid's office, they had absolutely no record of said referral, and were shocked by Dr. M's negligence, stating that she could have made a simple phone call to their office to inquire about the referral. Dr. M continued to write prescriptions for asthma inhalers to my mom over the course of the two years from 2017 to 2019 and diagnosed her with pneumonia right before we found out she actually had lung cancer. Dr. M neglected to follow up with my mom since the diagnosis, and is took the approach with me that she did nothing wrong. When I called Dr. M voicing my displeasure with the fact that she had not followed up with my mom since her misdiagnosis of pneumonia, her response was "I wanted to give her some space." My mom passed away in August of 2019 and i currently have a complaint initiates with the BC College of Physicians ans Surgeons. I urge anyone to stay far away from Dr. M as her medical negligence cost me the person I loved the most in this world, in my opinion.
