Dr. Roger Hazard with Kaiser: Incompetent, Unethical, or Both?

Yikes my dude. Did you change your name to that because you're self-aware?

I'm posting this as a warning to others googling this fauxsician. This morning I sought a referral for allergy testing due to chronic symptoms i have that vanished on my trip to the UK, only to return. They had started with m COVID bout, and I believed for years that they were connected, but now I believe that I acquired allergies to allergens I was exposed to when I was sick. These symptoms are year-round and years-long, so I had no considered a histaminergic pathway.

This morning, I spoke with Dr. Roger Hazard, a family medicine practitioner with Kaiser currently in Northern California, currently practicing in Berkeley. He attempted to convince me there's no such thing as allergy skin testing. My only option was to try to figure it out myself and to take infinite over the counter medications and hope my self-diagnosis was correct. He obviously knew or should have known this is misinformation, which, to me, suggests malicious intent, and should verify information before he gives clearly inaccurate clinical recommendations, so he does not harm his patients by discouraging them from seeking appropriate follow-up care. He's not an allergist and had no business telling me to how to manage a diagnosis he had not verified via specialist referral.

He recorded in his notes that I am experiencing rhinitis, or an inflamed nose, when that is not what I reported. If that were my main symptom I would have figured out it was allergic a lot sooner. In fact, I reported esophagitis and reflux. A histamine receptor is involved in the production of stomach acid, and I suspect, based on the fact that anti histamine do help, that the allergen is causing this over production. I learned this in 2006 when I had idiopathic urticaria (hives) and met with an allergist to do skin testing. I also had skin testing prior to studying abroad in high school to determine if I had outgrown an apparent early childhood reaction to shellfish (I had!).

He referred to my allergies as seasonal in his notes, even though I did not report that they were seasonal, and even though he had not ordered necessary testing to confirm that my allergen related to pollen. Does he think my cats are seasonal? That’s what I was seeking testing to rule out, along with mold - another non-seasonal environmental allergy. He also said I had said I believed I was allergic to foods, which are another level of non-seasonal. He also recorded that I refuse to take antihistamines without knowing the allergen, more false information now imprinted into my medical record, when I merely stated that there are health consequences to assuming my self diagnosis is correct and self medicating indefinitely while my body is still over producing histamine. Histamine is a neurotransmitter, and therefore may be exacerbating a neurological condition I have.

To say I'm angry about what is likely motivated by a discriminatory hostility to females and to disabled people is an understatement. He took a look at my chart and thought, “Time to power trip.” I have already followed up with a grievance with Kaiser and plan to file an ethics complaint with his supervising medical board in my state. If you're a woman or a person with a disability, you have rights and it is important for your sense of self worth to exercise them when you've been quite obviously mistreated, even if it ultimately goes nowhere. You matter. You are not imagining it. A lot of doctors, especially male doctors, are straight up predators and woman haters, as I've covered extensively in my videos.
