So I've been feeling pretty crappy for about a week, I've been really run down, sinus headaches and stuffy nose and trouble hearing and pain in my ears. Today I decided to finally go see a doctor. My PCP didn't have anything open and it was getting too late in the day to call my Hematologist to see if he could help out so I found myself at an Urgent Care place.
I explain what's going on to the doctor and he's like yeah everyone is having trouble with the weather/allergies .. it's been pretty humid and stuff. I explain that normally I don't have allergies but that I was just diagnosed with this Ig disorder and he was like oh well that's not a big deal and then proceeds to give me a 10 minute lecture on smoking! I was in great pain from my sinuses and just wanted some help and get out but of the 15 minutes he spent in the exam room he spent 10 bitching me out about smoking.
Un-fucking-believable! He didn't listen to my chest which is rattling from bronchitis as well, didn't look in my nose .. he just quickly checked my ears and that was it. Jerk.
On top of it, the MA was like "you haven't TAKEN ANYTHING OVER THE COUNTER?" and she asks me 4 TIMES .. She finally stopped when I said no because nothing OTA works and I didn't feel like diving into why it doesn't fucking work because it's not any of her goddamn business.
Both these people made me feel like I was a waste of their time and it really really pissed me off. I'm going to be writing a letter to their office explaining why I'm upset because patients, just because I was a walk-in .. I should be expect to be treated with a little bit of dignity.
Sorry just had to get it off my chest, it really upset me to be treated like that.
