I MADE A POINT TO BE AT THE OFFICE ON STONE DRIVE IN KINGSPORT,TN. AT 8;00AM ON SUNDAY MORNING JANUARY 4,2015...I HAD SEVERAL STAPLES IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD THAT WERE USED TO CLOSE UP TWO GASHES I RECIEVED FROM A FALL(WHEN I FELL MY HEAD TOOK A DIRECT BLOW FROM A CONCRETE PARKING BARRIER),I HAD BEEN TOLD TO HAVE THESE REMOVED IN 7 TO 10 DAYS-THE TIME HAD CAME TO HAVE THESE TAKEN OUT AND UNFORTUNATLEY I HAD A DR. R SHARISH MD RUSH IN TO THE EXAMINIG ROOM TAKE A VERY QUICK LOOK AND TELL ME THERE WERE NO STAPLES IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD AS I HAD TOLD HER,SHE EVEN "LAID HANDS" ON ME RUBBING MY HEAD AND SAYING SHE COULDN'T FEEL ANY EITHER!!! I HAD THIS EXAME COMPLETED IN LESS THAN 3O SECONDS AND HAD TO ASK HER TO PLEASE LISTEN TO ME BECAUSE I WAS SURE THE STAPLES(MAYBE NOT ALL TWELVE OF THEM)WERE STILL IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD;BUT THIS DOCTOR QUICKLY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT I WAS WRONG!!! DR. SHARISH HAD CONVINCED ME SHE WAS RIGHT AND ONCE AGAIN TRIED TO HURRY OUT OF THE EXAMINING ROOM WHEN I HAD TO AGAIN ASK FOR A PRESCRIPTION FOR THE COLD I HAD BEEN BATTILING FOR NEARLY A WEEK...SHE HURIEDLY LEFT THE ROOM AND AS I TRIED TO KEEP UP SHE SAID SHE WOULD HAVE ANTIBIOTICS CALLED IN FOR ME AND TRIED AGAIN TO RUN OFF IMMEDIATELY AS I ASKED HER TO PLEASE ALSO CALL IN SOME COUGH SYRUP TO HELP STOP THE COUGHING ATTACKS I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCEING. WHEN I WENT TO GET MY MEDS I FOUND IUT SHE DIDN EVEN HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE TO HAVE ME USE A PRESCRIPTION STRENGTH COUGH MEDICINE AS IRONIC AS THIS SOUNDS SHE CALLED IN THE SAME OVER THE COUNTER COUGH SYRUP I HAD BEEN USUING AND HAD MENTIONED IT DID NOT HELP!!! IT TURNS OUT THE COUGH SYRUP AND THE DOCTOR AT THIS CLINIC WERE THE SAME"NO HELP"!!!!!!!
