Rude X-ray techs triage patients.:
Went in for increasing pain in my ear. I have worked for an ENT Dr for 5 years AND I am a paramedic so I'm pretty sure I can recognize an ear infection. When I got there, it was 10 min before closing so I asked the receptionist if it was too late. She said "no you're fine. Come on in." Filled out my paperwork quickly and handed it in. Was called back and triaged. In the process, she nurse turned around and sarcastically said "you're allergic to aspirin but you can take Motrin and Advil? I said, yes, they are two different drugs. After about another few minutes of her rudeness she began to walk out. She said "the doctor will be in." For some reason, I felt the need to apologize for coming in so close to closing and all she said with her back turned was "the doctor will be in" and she slammed the door. I opened the door and told them I was leaving because she was very rude. Since the doctor was there, I guess she felt the need to defend herself by trying to say she was just hurrying because she knew he was waiting. The doctor came in, diagnosed me and sent in someone else to discharge me. She was very nice and apologetic. After looking into it, the first "nurse" was no nurse at all. She was an X-Ray Tech! Who lets X-ray techs triage patients???
