Went in for a skin rash... Left with a lobotomy
I needed to visit a clinic for what I believe is a blocked pore. Most clinics need an appointment an I didn't want to wait, so I decided to try Minute Clinic at CVS in Red Oak, TX. I requested an appointment online, 3/23/23 at 11:20am. I arrived at 11:05. After waiting a few minutes, the Nurse Practitioner on duty, invited me into the examination room. She quickly determined that I needed an antibiotic and was going to write a prescription, when she needlessly decided to check my vitals. I have a history of hypertension; I know this, it is nothing new, but to her, it was the end of the world. She said that I was having a hypertensive emergency, but I was asymptomatic. She told me that I would need to go to an ER, to which I reluctantly agreed. This must have activated God Mode in her, even after I agreed to drive myself to the ER in Waxahachie, she told me that, now, she must call 911. She gave the 911 dispatcher my information and kept insisting that it was an emergency even though I was asymptomatic. My wife (who had been in the waiting area) was invited into the room. She expected to be informed of what was happening. However, a few minutes later, 4 male paramedics came to the room. The NP rudely insisted my wife open the door. Since I had already agreed to visit an ER on my own, the demeanor of the NP had me fearing that if I refused the paramedics/ambulance, she would call the police. I was strapped to the gurney, carted off, and placed into the back of an ambulance. I never received the prescription I had visited Minute Clinic for, but I did get a $300+ ambulance ride. read more
