Musgrave Family Medicine

Doctors take an oath to do no harm. THANK YOU Musgrave Family Medicine (Dr.'s) for upholding your oath! Doctors are suppose to see sick patients. That is their job, right?

I left my previous Dr. office because they feared I had Covid. They said they were afraid of what the other patients would say if I stayed. (Hippa doesn't allow them to know why I'm there, right?) *shrug*.
I had a semi high temp (I was sitting in an extremely sunny window for about 10 minutes) & a cough (diagnosed as seasonal asthma). They wanted me to go home for a virtual visit. You see, I went in to have a recheck and make sure everything was in good shape after using antibiotics. I was still having the symptoms so I asked how they intended to look in my ears to make sure everything was healed. No common sense was used there.

I left and called another office and they too were afraid to see me after asking Covid questions over the phone. I guess I could have lied and not answered truthfully but that isn't me.

I tried Musgrave Family Medicine and guess what? NO covid questions over the phone! I walked in afraid I would be shamed for not wearing a mask. I was greeting with a sunny smile (seen because she had no mask on) and no request if I had a mask or needed one. (^_^)

When the nurse came in, I could see her face and I felt so much more at ease. Being able to see her face and the Doctor's face made me feel I could trust them and feel at ease when discussing my needs.

It's important to feel comfortable with your Doctor and nurses. It helps to build a foundation of trust and know I don't need to feel I must hide what is wrong with me because of how I may be treated.

My blood pressure was higher than the Dr liked and I told him why it was high. I was worried about being humiliated or embarrassed.

Thank you again Musgrave Family Medicine for remembering that patients are humans and need to be treated with respect.

I think I've found my forever Dr. office.
