Had a severe infection and was misdiagnosed. My nurse insisted it was poison ivy and even noted I had said I had been exposed in my clinical notes, although I never said so. My concerns about having a severe weeping infection were mansplained away. I was told to come back if it ‘got worse’. When my condition did get worse (thanks to the steroids they prescribed) I was unable to use telemedicine (at south location) bc I was on a trip out of state, but they said my provider would call me back about antibiotics. No call. I drove 6 hours to return for care. At 630 they refused to see me, bc they were closing soon (1.5 hrs) and the line was too long. I explained the entire situation and pleaded to be helped, just to receive antibiotics as I had asked for on my first visit. Was given an attitude and told they ‘couldn’t help with an infection anyways, I needed to got to the Er for that’
Go somewhere else for care and competence, you will NOT find it here.
