I don't like doing this but I was not well and I don't like going to the doctor. I needed help. I was told I had Type A Flu. That was the main thing discussed. I told her I had been incredibly dizzy, to the point of nausea. She told me I needed to eat and drink more. I expressed concern about the dizziness because I had to work in Little Rock the following week. She never touched me, listened to my raspy lungs, or looked in my ears. I continued to get worse after this. A client, concerned for me asked me to go to his Dr in LA. After I got back from Little Rock I felt so sick I had to do something so I went 2/27. After explaining everything going on the first thing he did was look in my left ear. He was very upset. He told me I had a ton of fluid behind my left eardrum and he could tell from how irritated my ear was it had been that way for a while. I am just now, today, starting to feel human again without walking sideways down my hall. Ad I stated there was no Ither patients there when I was there. I don't know what everyone was doing but they were not busy! I am a working person and I do not appreciate being not taken seriously. I will not be back to the Magnolia Clinic.

I have been trying to get help for some back pain for 5-6 years, some of that in [OUT OF STATE] but mostly with other providers here at UAMS. This is the first time I felt like I was actually heard and the provider cared. I thanked the doctor and almost started crying because it finally feels like I have a chance at finding a solution.
