Just yesterday, i called this skin clinic which i visited in
order to bring forward my appointment a week earlier, due to the
fact that my rashes are starting to spread throughout my entire
body which initially started on my arms. My condition was pretty
terrible and i felt devastated.
My encounter with the nurse which i called to bring forward the
appointment was exceptionally unpleasant. I asked if i could do
that and explained to her that my condition is worsening such that
its affecting my daily life and the itch is causing me troubles
sleeping. What she did was to repeated mentioning that the whole
week's appointment was filled and i could only wait for 1 and a
half weeks, which was my original appointment day. Of course, i
tried to plead with her saying that my condition is really serious
and said that it would be helpful if she can please help me out
this time. However, she was so blunt and immediately rejected me
saying that " no, i cant help" explaining that she has no means to
do that.
This really annoyed me. Im sure my case was much more serious
than any other patient who goes to skin clinic for cosmetic
reasons. Did she fail to notice that? And obviously she didnt even
sympathise with my condition to provide adequate help. Do we go
visit dermatologists and spend like 100 plus dollars per
visit if we dont have a genuine serious case?
Im sure all of you experienced such incidents, i frequently
experienced such cases when booking for dental appointments,
however, it wasnt serious, so i could afford to wait. However, this
time i really feel so strongly about it that makes me mad whenever
i think about it !!
hmm.. u want to see the same doctor? i think if you see another
doctor then can ba. or another way is that u call the skin centre
say u want to speak to ur doctor and ask the doctor to call you
back. then you talk to the doctor urself.
