In the summer of 2015, my 81-year-old sister went to the Sharp Coronado Hospital emergency room with what turned out to be a heart attack. After several hours she was seen by the on-call Cardiologist, Thomas Diggs, MD. As the primary care provider with her full medical and durable power of attorney along with a family doctor, we wanted her to have an angiogram. In spite of the fact Dr.Diggs recognized the patient was suffering mild dementia, he demanded the patient clearly state that she wanted an angiogram. His alternative plan was to treat her with medications. He even called the primary care provider, who was only trying to take care of his sister, a bully even though Diggs did not know any of the family relationships. Fortunately, she was moved to Sharp Memorial Hospital where she was seen by a competent cardiologist who, with consultation of the primary care provider, did an angiogram which showed that 3 arteries were fully blocked and could not be stented. After consultation with the cardiologist and the thoracic surgeon it was decided to perform a three-way bypass which was successful, and the patient has fully recovered. We were informed that if we had followed Dr. Diggs plan to treat her with medications she would have died in 3 to 4 months of a very painful death by drowning. In our opinion, anyone who goes to Thomas Diggs, M.D. does so at his own peril.
