Had prior appointments with Dr. Furniss. Great guy, friendly, good manner. Last visit with my usual bronchial infection had assistant take swabs and told me I couldn't get a steroid shot, antibiotics or inhaler until the lab results were back the next day due to the possibility of increased mortality if misdiagnosed. I assured her that I had been to Dr. Furniss for this condition before but she said no.. I was given cough suppressant pills and syrup along with a $30 decongestant spray for congestion I didn't have. Assistant called next day and apologized for putting wrong birthdate on lab request resulting in their refusal to return info. Said I needed to come in for another swab. I refused to be inconvenienced due to their error. She said she would get back with me. I called back and was on hold for half an hour before being promised the nurse would be with me shortly which resulted in a hang up. I finally reached the assistant again and she said I could come get a steroid shot and antibiotics without another swab but that it may increase mortality rate if what I had was flu related. I encouraged her to check my previous records on this treatment but her answer was that they had a new records system. I asked her to check the old records at which she responded to come on in and get a steroid shot and antibiotics. I was surprised that they would forego their previous protocol on a life and death matter. I asked to speak with the nurse but was put on hold only to have the assistant return with no answer. I don't think the right hand knows what the left hand is doing.
