Alpert Barnet I DO

Why can’t I find a good primary?
First of all, I didn’t even think I was going to get to see the doctor. Apparently, there was a mixup and my insurance had to verify whether or not they were still in business, which clearly they were. However, it was a bit scary to find out that in February they filed for termination of practice. Then in May they became active again. Upon hearing this from my insurance company, I didn’t even know whether or not I wanted to continue my care in this place.
Finally, I get in, and like all doctors (yes, Gina) they make you wait… and wait… and wait. So the doctor comes in and introduces the 3^rd year medical student that’s interning at the practice. Ah… then I find out the guy is RUDE!!! He lectures me about, well, everything. He thinks I may have severe allergy attacks because of my cats, though I clearly state that I am getting these attacks at work. Then he goes on to say that cats are the worst animals you can have as pets and how I might have to make some «tough decisions» when it comes to them. He also asks me how «attached» I am to my pets. Look mister, I’ve had pets my whole life and I’m not getting rid of them. Now gimme some drugs!
He also probes me about my choice of birth control. WTF? Isn’t that my gyno’s job? He says that if it causes me to gain weight I might have to switch and I probably won’t be able to switch to the pill so I’m f_​_​_​_​d. Again, who the hell are you? I thought I already had a gyno.
Then he talks to me about diet and exercise. And he asks me about my caffeine use and how it was better to switch to decaf. WHAT??? The mere thought of decaf… UGH!
He also proceeds to tell me that «some people deserve to have diseases» because of all the pills they take. I asked «Hypochondriac?», to which he responded «No. They should actually have illnesses». He tells me about a patient in the next room and her «condition» which was more of a psychological issue. HIPPA issues guy. You’re not supposed to be saying all of that to anyone, especially a new patient.
I think I’ll be seeing someone else from now on thank you!
