Worst patient care/ bedside manner I have ever experienced. Im 22 yr F, with GAD, CPTSD, and ADHD. Also I have PSTD and have had quite a traumatic past few months. Ive had some UT and GI issues. I was trying to tell her my symptoms but was promptly cut short. She never let me finish one sentence. She then said “so like what happened to you? Whats your trauma? Does it have to do with ——?, Sorry im not trying to be rude im just trying to get a better picture.” Never in my life have i felt more shut down by a HEALTHCARE provider. I understand some people can live their lives and not have any trauma and be able to say things like that and not think about how it could be insensitive or triggering. When it comes to a PA-C though, and a woman. I would think she would've came at the question with a bit more compassion and empathy instead of judgement.
I left that day with ZERO HELP. She ordered me urology referral which shows me she didn't want to do her job. She didn't order any further test, not an STD panel, blood test, just a simple urine sample not even sent to lab.
Have more compassion you have no idea what someone has going on in their head. Shame on you for serotyping.
