I went to the Waltham campus Wednesday February 15th. 1st at registration the chair had arms and was so tight(I'm 6 foot 2, 20 pounds overweight, not wide at all) when I sat down my android phone belt holster snapped off. There's 20 bucks I really didn't need to spend right now. I'm 51 and came in for penicillin for a broken tooth. I've probably been to the hospital emergency room a dozen times for the same reason. Before doctors started treating everyone like potential junkies (what's wrong, doctors fall below lawyers for most hated profession and you just had to take back the top spot) I used to get percocet and pennicillian on the spot and a script for both, I don't mind not getting the percocet although a welcome addition to my first aid kit. I dont know why, but everywhere except Lahey Clinic, if I'm talking to a doctor as a rule of thumb, I find I have to repeat myself 1 time for every year of school past a bachelors degree. The customer service level nosedives after more than 4 years of college. So I said to the doctor 3 times and I counted. "I've been given pennicillian in the past and it works great, I dont want anything else" I go from level 10 pain to zero in about 20 minutes. Then doctor jill claire jacovitz tells me I'm getting clindamycin so my opinion doesn't count or she doesn't have the listening skills of an illegal alien speaking broken english. I'm sure this crap costs alot, while pennicillian is 13 bucks full price and I'm on masshealth at this time, so mass taxpayers are paying the difference in price between what works and what doesn't, 6 hours later I'm still in pain. On a scale of 1 to 10, I want to stab somebody in the face, hmm, we'll call that a 12. It amazes me that the Lahey Clinic management style hasn't crushed these throwbacks to the 1950s Soviet Union yet. My previous visit to the main hospital 3 months ago went quite well 5 stars
