1 /5 Nemi Bonnie: The doctor I saw today provided a terrible experience. She walked into the room standing and never sat down, making the interaction feel rushed and impersonal. She didn’t ask to see what caused my allergic reaction, and when I showed her the product, she stood with her arms crossed, showing no interest in even looking at it. My face was visibly swollen, yet she never asked how I was feeling. I understand she may have read my notes, but her complete lack of bedside manner was unacceptable.
Then, without much explanation, she told me she was prescribing 40mg of Dexamethasone, which immediately raised concerns. She even repeated it twice, but I knew that this dose was excessive since the daily recommended amount typically shouldn’t exceed 6mg. I asked why 40mg then she apologize, said it was a mistake.
My advice to this doctor is simple: treat all patients with kindness and respect, regardless of any assumptions you may have about them. This isn’t about race, it’s about basic human decency. I will never return to this urgent care.
