It Only Takes One
I always get a notification when the provider is almost ready and is checking my chart. For some reason, I didn't get a notification tonight. The provider had to speak to get my attention. Once I realized she was already on the line, I promptly responded and apologized for the few seconds that she had to wait. After that, her face and attitude said it all. I felt like the provider was very short with me, and the communication was not very therapeutic. There was zero empathy, and all my attempts to fill the uncomfortable silence were met with more uncomfortable silence on her end. I felt like I was being a bother instead of a client who needed help. I understand it's 3 am. CST, but this is what YOU signed up for, and it's not a free service. I mentioned to her several times that I was in pain, which was completely ignored. I had to actively request a Topical Ointment for the pain. This experience won't stop me from using the service because this is my first bad experience, but it will make me think twice about recommending it to others. I truly hope I never have to deal with this particular provider again. I hope if you were just having a bad day that your day gets better, but people may forget what you do or say, but they will never forget how you make them feel.
