My throat was in extreme pain for days. Went to doctor and let her know my symptoms. She didnt look into my throat and just prescribed me with antibiotics I took my antibiotics and i was still in extreme pain for more daya. I later went to urgent care and the local urgent care later diagnosed me w covid within a day. I shared this story about this w my nurse friend and my other friend who is studying medicine. They told me that the doc was unprofessional and a red flag because she did not physically checked my throat even though i asked her to try looking because i thought that this might be a strep throat and she dismissed me by only asking symptom questions. The doc also easily gets annoyed when questions are asked about my health and her answers related to my obesity. I understand that obesity is a big concern that leads to many other health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, shorter life span, etc. However, my other health concerns are way overlooked because she mostly focuses on my obesity which is concerning when i make appointments for my other temperoary pain such as flu or throat pain. It feels like I get misdiagnosed a lot because of my physical appearance. Also, it felt unprofessional when she asked me about personal questions about my mental health. I get that she is my doctor. But she kept insisting to answer in details and the door was opened so the people who were waiting could hear me. Now i am better but i really felt uncomfortable answering back then. I am glad that she cares for ppls mental health but forcing someone to answer personal questions on the spot while the door is opened is just not right. There were lots of people waiting on the line back then and i had to face them to leave once i am done talking with the doctor. Hope this feed back can change to five stars.
