I
must
say
that
I
have
never
felt
as
disrespected
and
belittled
in
a
medical
environment
as
I
did
today
when
speaking
with
Dr.
Devon
Moore
at
Elite
Medical
Center
today.
While
the
nursing
and
administrative
staff
all
seemed
genuinely
sympathetic
to
my
condition,
Dr.
Moore
was
nothing
but
dismissive
of
my
condition
and
my
concerns.
I
came
to
Elite
today
with
a
complaint
of
persistent
head
pain
for
several
days.
I
have
a
cardiac
condition
and
have
high
blood
pressure,
and
am
on
an
assortment
of
prescription
medications
all
of
which
have
side-effects,
so
I
was
concerned
that
these
were
early
warning
signs
of
something
serious.
This
pain
had
persisted
for
several
days
before
I
sought
medical
advice,
while
on
business
travel,
I
chose
Elite
rather
than
a
walk-in
medical
clinic
because
of
the
on-site
diagnostic
facilities.
Dr.
Moore
gave
me
a
cursory
examination
and
proclaimed
me
"well"
and
said
i
could
leave,
despite
my
pain.
I
had
to
practically
beg
for
some
diagnostic
tests
done
-
he
finally
begrudgingly
consented
to
a
basic
blood
test.
He
flatly
refused
to
perform
a
CT
scan,
even
at
my
request.
When
the
blood
test
showed
no
abnormalities,
he
came
back
in
and
told
me
I
was
fine,
"as
he
had
suspected".
I
asked
him
what
could
be
contributing
to
my
head
pain,
and
his
answer
was
literally
"I
can
think
of
a
hundred
things
but
I
don't
have
time
to
go
through
them
with
you
now".
I
asked
Dr.
Moore
if
he
thought
I
had
a
sinus
infection,
and
his
response
was
literally
"Don't
you
think
if
you
had
a
sinus
infection,
I
would
have
told
you
that?!"
with
a
sneer
of
condescension.
I
then
asked
if
it
was
safe
to
continue
with
my
business
trip
or
seek
additional
medical
advice,
Dr.
Moore's
only
suggestion
was
to
fly
home
and
consult
with
my
Primary
Care
provider!
In
fact,
his
entire
attitude
was
that
I
was
wasting
his
time.
I
felt
angry,
hurt,
and
humiliated.
I
came
to
Elite
to
ask
for
help
diagnosing
a
condition
that
could
have
been
as
simple
as
a
sinus
infection,
or
as
serious
as
a
brain
bleed
/
TIA.
I
asked
for
help
in
diagnosing
a
condition
that
could
have
been
life-threatening,
and
advice
on
how
to
proceed.
Instead,
what
I
left
with
was
no
more
information
than
I
had
coming
in.
And
a
sense
that
I
was
somehow
wasting
the
time
of
a
medical
provider
because
my
problems
weren't
acute
enough
to
be
worth
his
time
or
effort.
Oh,
and
two
Tylenol.
Thanks
for
nothing,
Dr.
Moore.
