I went to see her about a very swollen, very painful abscess. She decided to put me on antibiotics and a pain killer and wanted to see me in two days. I asked what the advantage was for waiting because I was in A LOT of pain, she said it "may get better in 2 days." OK. So she rescheduled me with her 2 days later. When I came back, nothing had changed so she told me she needed to find another doctor who could help her because she doesn't lance abscesses. If this was a possible outcome, why would she reschedule me with her and not a doctor who was qualified to help me?!? To add to my frustration, she finally came back in with a competent doctor who looked at my abscess and said, "OOOh. We need to get her to a surgeon now! How long has it looked like this?" Dr. Tambunan and I both said "Since Tuesday when I came to see Dr. Tambunan." So they had to rush me into a surgeon who agreed to stay open late to help me. Why would a doctor diagnose a patient with something they know nothing about?
