Current Events > Dilemma: Nurse Practitioner Encounter

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ive encountered some challenges with my healthcare providers recently. At one facility, the doctor never met with me and delegated the thingsto a Nurse Practitioner. the other person at that place repeatedly canceled our appointments. So I went som place else and the guy's besides bed manner sucked. And he was too fast about going inside of me. Like if someone is going to do that I need to trust them. So I went back to the first place.

I had explicitly requested to see a doctor for my next appointment and emphasized this when scheduling. Despite arriving early in the morning, I was seen by a Nurse Practitioner again. While she was professional and did not suggest an invasive procedure, Im still frustrated by not being able to consult with a doctor as requested, especially after a three-month wait.

Im thinking leaving a bad review to say how upset I was. However, Im not sure because the Nurse Practitioner was competent and my issue is not with her performance but with the overall experience and the unmet expectation of seeing a doctor. So I am of kind lost. I don't want to Jam her up when she did not do anything wrong, but at the same time I could have died with that long ass wait and then I get NP. And I saw the doctor in the halls he was on his phone.

Also my blood pressure was so low, it wasn't reading. That is a fucked up when you think about it.

Speaking as someone in the UK, the concept of expecting to see a doctor when you make a medical appointment is pretty lol

I've literally been seen by vets.

But anyway I'd say no. If the staff were professional and respectful, giving them a bad review is douchebag Eric Cartman level.

Yeah he wanted do shock my heart. At first I was thinking it was cutting me up, but now they are talking about tube. And that is still not something I want in me if I don't need it.
