Comment

I feel that there are too many interns seeing patients coming in there with spinal cord injuries or problems with their back. I think that you should be seen by a normal doctor not an intern. I think an intern can be in on it the appointment but I think you should be able to be seen by someone who is already established. It is hard to get into that clinic. It's hard for them to follow through with your test. And you feel kind of left uneasy that they're really not sure what, you get a different answer for what your results are on test compared to the next one, to the next one, and I did not feel comfortable that I'm getting in a positive answers for the concerns you have about any of your (INAUDIBLE)

My negative comments refer to a specific incident. When I failed to achieve a responsible, intelligent response to my immediate concern, my [PARENT] took me to the hospital administrators office. There, two women in that office listened to my concern and promised a solution within 24 hours. The issue was resolved, and a visit to a neurologist was scheduled within a week. A follow-up visit with my neurologist was also scheduled within a month. He is transferring to the VA, and I will be seeing a new neurologist. I have received competent, satisfactory care from my Dr and from UAMS. Perhaps my biggest frustration and disappointment was trying to talk/ explain my situation and immediate need to the nurse who came out into the neurology waiting room to discuss my situation. My [PARENT]'s reaction to that nurse was the nurse was: 1. Totally unprofessional; 2. Incredibly ignorant Hence the visit to the administrator's office.

Translated from Spanish - Dr. Bashir S Shihabuddin is an excellent doctor. 'I'll miss them.'
