1 /5 Lucia Moreno: I was told by Chinelo Flores that I ask too many questions and her job is to diagnose and treat a patient. I should have called or emailed to have my questions answered. She told me that I took away from her seeing a sick patient. I am a new mom, and my child (2 yrs old) had been feeling miserable for two days (a sick patient) and in her visit to the ER last night with her father the notes said to follow up with doctor. An appointment was unavailable today with her local doctor. I misunderstood what it meant where it read “follow up with doctor”. Flores made it very clear to me what that meant. If I had known that my concerns/questions were going to be an inconvenience or cause frustration I would had never made the drive. Flores in a unprofessional manner (tone) addressed me my concerns/questions as stated in the beginning of this text. I had seen her prior to this appointment and she comes off very strong, cold and dry. Regardless, I viewed this being part of her personality but after today’s appointment and in the manner in which she addressed my concerns/questions there is no excuse for behaving this way. There is no kindness or compassion towards myself or my sick child. I am not a doctor but I am a human, and other than a doctor diagnosing and treating a patient I believe they should posses certain character traits such as compassion and kindness when addressing a patient or parent. My suggestion to make this a better experience specifically for Flores, is to practice kindness in how you address a parent or patient.
