Well, the visit itself was okay. The facility is nice & so were the staff. I showed up with an obvious case of strep throat (which they ended up diagnosing me with) & was given penicillin 500mg on Jan 7th by FNP Ely. It now Jan 11th & my condition has worsened so I called back & asked if they would fax a different antibiotic to a pharmacy near me (I'm now in TX because I drive a truck for a living). The response I got was you can either go to another hospital (yep, because it's sooo cheap & easy for me to do) or you can go home (they're clueless). So thank you for what I'm sure will be an incredibly large bill for NOTHING BUT WASTED TIME. May you never find yourselves in the situation, or one similar, that I am in because we all know how dangerous strep can be.
