I
am
very
grateful
to
Dr.
Waseem
Shahid
and
the
kind
staff
at
Physician
One
Urgent
Care
in
Mohegan
Lake
for
helping
me
overcome
a
difficult
case
of
Covid.
After
the
first
4
days
of
Covid,
which
I
confirmed
with
a
home
test
kit,
I
recognized
my
symptoms
were
getting
worse,
not
better.
Not
wanting
to
leave
the
house
and
risk
exposing
others,
my
first
experience
with
Physician
One
was
with
their
Telehealth
service,
as
I
needed
a
prescription
for
Paxlovid
and
eye
drops
to
heal
a
pink
eye
infection.
This
was
easily
arranged,
and
I
had
my
prescriptions
ready
for
pickup
at
my
local
pharmacy
by
end
of
day.
By
the
8th
day
of
my
illness,
my
symptoms
were
continuing
to
get
worse.
The
fever
returned
every
evening
making
sleep
impossible.
My
throat
was
too
sore
to
eat,
and
I
had
difficulty
keeping
hydrated.
An
ear
infection
was
causing
intense
headache
and
pain.
My
nose
was
running
continuously,
and
I
was
going
through
at
least
a
box
of
tissues
each
day.
I
was
absolutely
miserable.
I
made
an
appointment
for
an
office
visit,
and
arrived
masked
up,
keeping
to
the
furthest
corner
of
the
waiting
room.
All
of
the
admission
details
had
been
provided
on
line
when
I
booked
the
same
day
appointment.
I
provided
my
license,
insurance
card,
and
credit
card
to
the
receptionist.
That
was
all
that
was
needed.
At
my
appointment
time
I
went
in
to
an
exam
room,
where
I
met
the
doctor.
He
listened
to
what
I
had
to
say,
and
understood
that
if
he
could
not
help
me,
I
would
have
to
go
to
the
hospital,
which
I
really
wanted
to
avoid.
He
came
up
with
an
effective
treatment
plan
for
each
of
my
symptoms,
including
an
antibiotic
to
treat
the
ear
infection.
The
quality
of
my
life
improved
dramatically
once
my
meds
were
available,
and
with
each
passing
day
my
condition
improved,
rather
than
worsening
as
it
had
been.
It
is
now
day
11
for
me,
and
i
am
greatly
improved,
eating,
and
sleeping
well.
There
is
still
residual
illness
to
get
over,
but
I
feel
I
can
see
the
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel.
Thank
you!
