Went there with my father for his heart check up. They had a Dr. called Uwe Klima who prescribed a medicine that is not suitable for heart patients.

My Father was there to see Dr. Uwe Klima regarding a bypass surgery for his heart. After the Dr. explained to my father what needs to be done, we took the decision to go through with it and to proceed with the surgery. Before leaving, UWE KLIMA prescribed some medication for my father, who had already had previous heart surgery. The name of the medicine was ARCOXIA. Here is what the LEAFLET inside the pack of Arcoxia says: Do not take ARCOXIA: f you have high blood pressure that has not been controlled by treatment (check with your doctor or nurse if you are not sure whether your blood pressure is adequately controlled) if your doctor has diagnosed heart problems including heart failure (moderate or severe types), angina (chest pain) if you have had a heart attack, bypass surgery, peripheral arterial disease (poor circulation in legs or feet due to narrow or blocked arteries) if you have had any kind of stroke (including mini-stroke, transient ischaemic attack or TIA). Etoricoxib may slightly increase your risk of heart attack and stroke and this is why it should not be used in those who have already had heart problems or stroke. As you can see above, this medicine is NOT suitable for patients with a history of heart diseases. When i went to the hospital the next day and asked to see the Dr, he refused to see me. I spoke to his nurse who in turn told me to go file an official complaint against him at the government if i wished to do so. I then spoke to some lady who was part of the management team who had promised to handle the issue but as i had expected, nothing was done. The issue was dropped due to us being too busy with my fathers case to follow up with such an unprofessional institute. He eventually had his surgery in Lebanon and all went smoothly.
