Well...it
has
been
quite
a
journey
for
me
dealing
with
this
clinic.
I
decided
to
wait
some
months
to
post,
although
it
turned
into
years.
I
thought
I
would
give
them
a
good
ol'
chance
again
thinking
that
I
probably
came
during
bad
times
in
uears
past.
But
no,
this
place
sucks-
please
keep
in
mind
that
I
am
only
referring
to
NP
nurse
practitioners
and
front
staff.
The
medical
assistants
have
done
well
with
what
they
have
at
their
disposal
and
the
mental
health
team
is
fantastic!
I
will
post
more
details
on
MH
next
post.
I
digress,
the
last
time
I
was
theterere
I
had
to
discuss
some
health
issues
paleness,
not
eating,
pain
all
over
body
and
especially
the
skin,
swelling
of
hands
unexplained
rash
on
my
face.
I
was
sent
to
blood
test
at
main
general
hospital
lab...yea
that
took
2
months.
Then
I
had
to
schedule
again
at
clinic
I
was
seen
by
the
same
np
who
at
first
suggested
that
it
was
perimenopause
/
or
not
enough
fiber
in
my
diet
ie.
Constipation
etc...
I
knew
it
wasn't
that,
I
have
auto
immune
disorders
run
in
my
family
and
heart
problems
as
well.
Anyways.
To
make
the
long
storu
longer.
My
grandmother
kept
telling
me
that
she
thought
I
was
showing
symptoms
of
RA
and
heart
trouble,
I
related
this
to
my
np
still
no
referral
or
anything
else.
She
referred
me
to
mental
health
within
their
clininc
that
was
a
god
send.
I
met
with
Dr.
Sinclair
a
Psychiatrist
and
told
him
my
emotional
issues
but
also
my
health
stuff.
And
you
know
what
HE
gave
me
a
referral
to
rheaumatology
with
the
agreement
of
the
only
in
house
Dr
they
have
at
the
clinic
who
is
only
booked
for
about
5
appts
a
week.
Dr.
Sinclair
Psychiatrist
made
call
to
SFGH
rheaumatology
himself.
I
got
an
appt
the
next
day
was
seen
by
a
rheaumatologist
right
away
and
was
diagnosed
with
scleroderma
and
the
beginning
stages
of
RA
with
pernicious
anemia-
which
is
a
variant
type
of
anemia
not
curable
but
treatable.
I
have
been
gping
directly
to
rheaumatology
every
3
months
to
get
my
labs
done
to
see
how
things
are
and
so
far
so
good
👍-
my
health
is
stable,
not
great
but
stable.
My
advice,
go
to
see
an
actual
doctor
not
an
NP.
I
know
this
sounds
terrible
I
have
a
cousin
who
is
a
NP
and
she
even
had
told
me
what
to
tell
the
NP
at
Ocean
park
but
it
didn't
work-
she
just
passed
the
buck.
Figured
it
was
all
in
my
mind
which
it
was
but
I
WAS
NOT
SOMATIZING
IT
as
she
had
told
me.
I'm
not
going
to
put
the
np
name
here
because
giving
the
benefit
of
the
doubt
she
probably
was
at
a
loss
what
to
to,
she
should
have
referred
me
to
their
Dr
but
its
ok
she
reffered
me
to
Psychiatrist
Dr.
Sinclair.
When
this
first
happened
I
was
38.
Now
im
45
and
in
way
better
health.
Unfortunately
I
am
still
assigned
to
Ocean
park
center
because
of
my
work
health
insurance
with
Healthy
Workers
plan-
if
you
work
city
this
is
the
plan
you
get.
So
my
waybaround
this
is
to
pay
for
a
private
doctor
whom
I
see
as
my
primary
care
and
he
is
connected
to
sfgh
as
well.
I
don't
mind
forking
out
145.
For
a
doctor
visit
its
my
health
my
life.
Lord
knows
I
have
spent
frivolousy
on
clothing
more
than
that.
Read
this
for
what
its
worth.
If
your
going
for
basic
stuff
flu
vaccine,
pap
test
etc
your
ok.
All
the
other
stuff,
make
sure
you
question
it.
It
is
your
health
in
their
hands.
Btw,
this
all
occured
within
a
span
of
exactly
3
months.
By
the
time
I
had
my
follow
up
appt
at
Ocean
Park
,
I
had
been
diagnosed.
So
of
course
I
told
my
np
this
is
what
rheaumatology
tested
and
found.
Scleroderma
RA
Pernicious
Anemia
and
cardilogy
found
atrial
septal
aneurysm.
She
was
surprised
I
guess.
I
told
her
I
was
never
coming
back.
And
that
was
that.
People
please
file
grievences
if
you
feel
you
are
not
listened
to.
