Review of Madigan Army Medical Center

I'm in the Navy and unfortunately I'm stationed on JBLM and have to go to Madigan. I've been suffering from the same symptoms for weeks now and after showing no signs of improvement I finally made an appointment...and what a waste it was. First of all, the doctor was late for the appointment because he was running late to work. Secondly, the doctor came in and automatically assumed I had a common cold and didn't lay a hand on me. He didn't feel, listen, or observe for ANYTHING. Mind you I rarely ever come down with some sort of sickness and I'm command fitness leader. I workout constantly and eat healthy. I started to get sick after scuba diving and weeks afterwards I've been having all sorts of symptoms. I thought the doctor would actually hear me out and actually show concern BUT NO WAY he did aaaall the talking and prescribed some mucinex pills for the morning and a $1.50 bottle of q-tussin for nights. MIND YOU, I was steps ahead and was already taken liquid mucinex but o no this doctor knew best...so I didn't get any chest x-rays nor did he listen to my lungs. He said here take this and shoed me away...worst appointment I ever had in my 9 years of service...Go out in town where a doctor can actually have time for you, listen to you and really try to find the problem.
