Prior to this appointment, Dr. Marc Error had thoroughly reviewed the medical history faxed from a previous care provider (now retired) and with this review, quickly diagnosed the current condition. His discussion of the condition and path forward were clear and informative.

Dr. Error's attitude expressed regarding my previous providers (colleagues at the University) was unprofessional. After the examination, I asked specific questions to determine if my nosebleeds could be related to my other known medical conditions, his responses to me were dismissive. I felt my concerns were not heard or that I was wasting his time. I could have skipped this appointment and been fine and money ahead or waited another month to see my preferred provider Dr. McRae.

I brought up pain in my throat and he responded "well that sounds like a lung issue which is outside my expertise. You should talk to your primary about that." He brushed it off like it was nothing. I had to explain it was excruciating pain that I'd been experiencing for 7 days. I understand if he doesn't know how to help me but I was shocked by the lack of empathy and lack of desire to help a sick patient. A doctor that can't do anything for a cough? Can't even take a look at my throat or listen to my lungs? That's extremely disappointing. He treated me like a nuisance wasting his time. His nurse assistant stood there and didn't do anything either. He seemed annoyed with my cough and flatly said I should get tested for Covid (which I did and was negative). I left the appointment crying because I'd never experienced such emotionless care from hospital staff.
