I went to this clinic for the same reason many do: I'm uninsured and don't make very much, but too much to afford insurance (ironic, huh?)



Anyway, the ladies at the front desk were quite polite and helpful as was the nurse who took my vitals and asked about why I was there.



I did not appreciate the P.A. Karen, at all though! I did not appreciate the lack of bedside manner, the implication that my weight made me automatically very unhealthy after revealing that I have PCOS (it's a complicated syndrome where weight loss absolutely helps its manageability but is also nearly impossible to acheive sometimes because of the hormone disruption PCOS creates). And this is why I was here: because I was uninsured and had failed to do the medicinal management PCOS benefitted from and needed to.



So, after being told my excessive cholesterol levels were not caused by breastfeeding on my last test several years prior and told it had to do with mismanaging my body (the excessive levels were absolutely due to breastfeeding after seeing the results of this next blood draw) and having to have a nurse call her back in to give me the birth control prescription I had hoped to get to manage my PCOS to begin with,she has to look up the types of birth control to put me on "Because you have an IUD". Yep, aaand it has little to do with the regulation a good birth control can create. Anmlso, as much as she seemed convinced my weight stopped my periods, Mirena does that too. So she finally finds a pill. I've heard of it. it is commonly prescribed for PCOS patients. Then I go on to ask about diet and what she might suggest changing. After critiquing the crap out of my diet that's not great but could be much worse (I'm a single mom and a full time student, perfect eating is beyond me) and me explaining to her that despite her advice, low income people can't typically afford a cup of nuts a day, avocado oil, and quality fish, she suggests I start eating lots beans and canned salmon because "a can of salmon will last several days".... I just felt degraded by the whole experience and judged and inadequate and now I'm in the mad phase where all I really know is that I did not like how I was treated by that P.A. at ALL!



So, yeah, go, but only if you really have to. Personally, I'll just try and save for a doctor next time....
