Wasn't helpful, didn't listen to me, she kept interrupting me, she doesn't even listen to my lungs. She didn't ask how I was doing or feeling that day with my cold or asthma, which is why I was being seen at that clinic in Tioga, ND. She told me all the wrong way to take my inhalers. Said to take my steroid inhalers more for emergency, when I was getting worse, in my asthma plan, and told me to take my albuterol as a daily inhaler first and foremost. And that is exactly the opposite of how you are supposed to take inhalers. I know, I've learns from the best doctors & nurses in Minneapolis for years and when tried to tell her that's all wrong, she told me that I was taking my inhalers all wrong, and wouldn't even let me explain how i was taught. When I started, and tried to tell her she'd interrupted me a few times by saying," so are we done here"? Several times. I was tying to tell her politely, and she wouldn't even let me finish. I was the patient there, trying to get some service and she wouldn't even listen to me. She just started getting up and walking out of the exam room. I finally had to say, "well yeh, I guess we are done here",... I was so frustrated. She feigned concern, but I could see through her, and saw her complete rudeness! Not listening... Or caring. And everything I said was wrong and her way was the only way. I asked here ..." so you have asthma"?. She said "No"... and I said well how do you know. I have had long term asthma, and I know what I'm going through for years and been taught by some very knowledgable, "Great" doctors and nurses, and I told her that, and I believe she said something like. " well they're wrong" from how we're treating astma today"! My past doctor who has recently retired a great doctor, doctor Judith Wanschura was the best doctor I ever had, & I'm a male! But this nurse practitioner is the absolute worst lady practioner I've ever seen. And a poor excuse for a helth care provider. Or even a human being that I've ever met. She has no business being in that field of work!
