finally!
my old doctor was actually my pediatrician but I made the decision to switch due to the incompetence of her office staff.
in the begining when i got sick i called her office to make an appointment and the people at the front desk wouldnt give me an appointment for over a month, and i was unable to wait as i was in terrible pain
finally after telling them that i was in horrible pain and really needed to see a doctor they put me in for her nurse practitioner. biggest mistake ever!! after telling the np my symptoms of bloody mucousy Ds getting worse, severe cramping, nasea and vomiting she told me to do a stool sample and wait a week to see how i fare, she than told me after i had already done the stool sample to take a stool test for hidden blood (occult)
i guess she thought both bright red blood and clots werent enough proof
fastforward to the end of the week I was doing much much worse and couldnt eat or drink a thing and was in terrific pain
i called the minute htey opened and i was told they would get back to me asap, no call back i called several times that day to speak to a doctor and they couldnt call me back
than finally at 4 pm on friday they call me and tell me to go to the ER because its urgent and im obviously losing too much blood
they told me they would follow up with me on monday with recomendations to see a GI (that was several months ago and they still havent called back yet)
when i was in the ER the doctor called them to get the results of my stool test and they just kept forwarding him to the nurse triage voicemail and wouldnt get him the results!
its a shame cuz the doctor herself is really good and she had no idea that i was even sick when i told her what happened!!!!
im still angry at her dumb NP for not realizing what was going on and for not sending me to a GI sooner, I was too dumb to realize that it was so serious
