Mercy Clinic Internal Medicine

For nearly a year or so until I moved, I was getting treated here for a dangerous but controllable condition. The doctor who treated me is no longer there. When I was informed that I had this condition, she never told me the «rules» of this condition (e.g. the warning signs to go to the E.R.). Not only that she never wanted to find the cause of this condition. She simply told me to follow a certain diet & to lose weight. In addition, she never told me the consequences of this condition for which my current doctors assume I had knowledge of. Had I known before, I wouldn’t have been in such denial for a long time. The staff was a hoot to deal with. I loved interacting with them. They brought the smile in my face despite my horrid condition. I only wish that there was some supervisor (s) to go over the cases & to make sure the patients are well informed of their conditions. I was never given any direction to find information about my condition. Maybe it is my fault in choosing this doctor. But, knowledge is power. My previous doctors have warned me about not being vigilant about my medical conditions & about the consequences of not doing so. I am thankful that I did not end up in the hospital for a life threatening condition as I found the information on my own.
