I have been a patient for a number of years. have noticed a significant decline in service in the last couple of years. Most recently went in complaining of low-grade fever, lethargy, head and body aches and brown sputum. I had suggested possible walking pneumonia. I am a distance runner and told her that my race time the day before was more than two minutes slower than my average. i was told "you may be in better shape than the rest of us , but you wouldn't be able to even finish a 5k race if you had pneumonia". I was also told that my lungs sounded clear and a chest x-ray would be a waste of money. She went on to say that my symptoms were probably due to changing my HIV meds 3 months prior to this and switched my meds. After two weeks of no improvement, I went to another doctor and after a chest x-ray it was confirmed that I had pneumonia. This hardly the first misdiagnosis by this doctor but for me it will be the last. I feel she is more focused on her research/students.
