My
sister
has
been
trying
to
get
an
appointment
with
Dr.
Naran
for
my
4
year
old
nephew.
He's
been
sick
with
a
cold
since
Halloween.
4
days
ago
he
started
to
sound
more
congested
so
she
tried
to
contact
the
doctor
to
make
an
appointment.
However,
the
outgoing
message
suggests
they
don't
take
phone
calls,
you
have
to
communicate
by
email...which
then
states
it
can
take
up
to
2
business
days
for
them
to
get
back
to
you.
It
did,
indeed,
take
2
days
for
the
doctor
to
call.
During
the
call
she
repeatedly
berated
my
sister
for
not
bringing
my
nephew
in
sooner.
When
my
sister
described
my
nephew
as
a
"little
lethargic,"
Dr.
Naran
interrupted
her
and
said,
"Dont
say
'lethargic'
say
'low
energy'
because,
while
she's
too
busy
to
see
a
sickchild,
she's
got
plenty
of
time
for
a
grammar
lesson.
The
doctor
then
questioned
my
sister
as
to
why
she's
been
giving
him
Children's
Advil
to
bring
his
fever
down.
As
if
she,
supposedly
a
medical
professional
and
pediatric
specialist,
is
not
aware
of
the
current,
wide
spread
otc
medication
shortage.
Did
she
then
suggest
bringing
him
by
the
office
and
she'd
squeeze
him
in
because
she
was
"concerned?"
No.
She
told
my
sister
she'd
book
an
appointment
for
him
at
their
walk
in
clinic
because
she
was
"far
too
busy"
to
see
him.
The
receptionist
called
back
with
the
appointment
information...or
so
we
thought.
No,
she
called
back
to
essentially
tell
my
sister
that
she
and
her
4
year
old
are
out
of
luck
and
she'll
have
to
take
him
to
their
walk
in
clinic.
When
my
sister
said
that
the
doctor
indicated
SHE
would
make
an
appointment,
the
reception
took
a
turn
at
berating
her
for
being
wrong
about
what
the
doctor
had
said
and,
besides,
the
doctor
has
no
idea
how
the
walk
in
clinic
works.
The
bottom
line
is
that
it's
ludicrous
for
a
"pediatric
specialist"
who
is
"concerned"
about
her
4
year
old
patient
to
suggest
the
best
solution
is
to
take
a
sick
child
to
a
walk
in
clinic
and
wait
for
3
hours
for
an
appointment
as
if
ANY
4
year
old
is
going
to
happily
and
patiently
wait
in
a
room
with
other
sick
people.
We
understand
that
everybody
has
to
deal
with
walk
in
clinics
and
their
wait
times
periodically
but,
to
condescendingly
berate
a
worried
mom
and
then
just
wash
her
hands
of
the
whole
situation...that's
unacceptable.
