Verbally abused today at Dr Robinson's office by Dr. Robinson. He was offended I asked for a physical exam of my lungs and ears. States medical school doesn't teach physical exams any more... SMH

Thursday I went to the Urgent Care in Altus as I felt like I was getting sick and achy. The staff at the Urgent Care was very courteous and I appreciate their care. My illness did get worse before it got better. Have been in bed with a fever, and a horrible cough for the last 3 days. Today, Tuesday, I head to Elk City to go see my family doctor, Dr Michael Robinson. I requested that the nurse asked him to listen to my lungs today along with looking in my ears because they were bothering me. When he entered the room he came in full of attitude telling me that they don't do physical exams anymore, that's old medicine. If I wanted a doctor that practiced OLD MEDICINE he would refer me. Then he educated me on what they teach them at school, they do assessments by communication with the patient. Well during his verbal abuse to me I was in such shock that I was dumb founded on how to even respond. His arrogance, God like authority, and complete uncareingness to the needs of his patient sitting in front of him made me nauseated. He was so full of himself in that moment I don't know if he even realized that the patient sitting in front of him, me, was threatened by his tone and body language. I left that office upset with myself cause I allowed that man to disrespect me like that. In my mind I was horrified at his nerve, but my voice was silenced by the dictatorship in his voice. I knew he was the doctor and at this moment I felt like I couldn't stand up for myself. I recommend nobody see Dr Michael Robinson for healthcare
