I couldn’t take it any longer and after a good friend of mine convinced me it was the only way, I knew no matter how much I didn’t want I had to. That’s right I went to an Emergency Care Clinic. The past 2 weeks my ears have been throbbing, my throat swollen tight, and my cough was killing me. When you feel sick I do believe everything in your world seems worse. I didn’t yesterday it took my friend some convincing to get me to see that. I drove to my mom and dads house so my mom could do what she loves and that is take care of me. I know it makes her sad to think of me not needing her and to an extent I can do it on my own, but I do need her and I love it when she does take care of me. When I get there I called the house and asked her to come outside so we could leave. It only took her 5 minutes before she told me she thought my hair was to dark, my skin wasn’t its best, and how beautiful her new friend’s daughters were. I guess that’s all moms that do this. I don’t believe she meant it to be mean but it did bum me out a little bit. The drive started to take forever but finally after what seemed like forever we go there and YAY the parking lot was practically empty. I was prepared to stay a while. The nurse at the front was not in the mood. You could tell she wanted to get out of there. Twenty questions, blood pressure, heart rate, body weight, and temperature okay thanks nurse now I will wait. Thirty minutes later he “knocks on the curtain” I said “who is it” apparently sense of humor left the building. The Dr. re-did what the nurse did. I guess he was bored. Then check my throat and ears to find sinus infection. He said I would need amoxicillin. I got excited because I love the way it tastes. He said umm not so much that stuff is for kids. I asked nicely if I could have that but take a higher dose. He said “LOOK YOU’RE AN ADULT, SO YOU DO ADULT THINGS!” Ewww No Thank you! I was still being nice but felt the comment was rude. Then I said my ears are killing me could I get a cortisone shot and call it a night PLEASE? He looked at me and said you shouldn’t beg for a medicine it gives the wrong impression. Apparently Cortisone junkies are a problem in this country and when I asked that automatically put me in that category. I was ready to leave I didn’t appreciate the way the Dr. was treating me. I know we all have bad days but my 1st emergency care experience was terrible. I am sick Doc please just be sweet. I got my prescription and then I was off to bed. AHHHHHHH I am in PAIN!
