My boyfriend is very ill. We had concerns he has bronchidous maybe devolping into pneumonia.

I called the minute clinic. Asked if they would be able to see him and they told me yes. I got there before the cut off time for last patient to register and the. Nurse told me they were full.

This was not true there was no line or any patients she was cleaning up to head home early. My boyfriend did not recieve the medical attention he needed. We were lied to and turned down before cut off time. We had time to be seen and i would like action to be taken towards this niglagent doctor for the sake of other patients because a doctor who is more concerned on getting home early then helping care for someone with an illness that can perhaps devolp into a much more serious illness; i believe should not be working its giant arrows pointing towards a very irresponsible health practicioner.

This happened at the cvs in thorndale pennsylvania.

What is "bronchidous" and "niglagent?" If your boyfriend was so ill, you should have brought him there sooner. Thanks for posting your email on a public website.

I'll be sure to sign you up for lots of spam mail for your ignorance.

How dare you berating the provider for wanting to go home on time.

Do you not want to get out on time at your job or do you not have one? Did you ever think about all the closing procedures plus the time of your visit would have been way past the closing time?

I wish every *** who ever said "but I don't see anyone in the waiting room" while begging to be seen when the provider was closing would read that previous post. They also say "but my (issue) will only take 5 minutes".

How the *** do they know how long it would take? Most visits even simple ones take at least 15-20 mins and over 30 minutes if there are other issues going in. It's the not the patients right to be seen whenever.

They have to listen to the provider regardless. If they're closed they're closed.

Totally agree with those who replied. Just because you didn't see anyone in the waiting room doesn't mean they were not full for the day.

Often the Nurses will let a patient know they can run an errand or walk the store aisles is there is a wait. You can't assume just because you didn't see anyone there. You are not their front office staff, you have ZERO way of knowing that they are not full. You waited until the very last minute and were too late.

That's 100 percent on you. The nurses hAVE been taking care of sick people and other emergencies all day lone since early that morning. You were just one more of them. And there will be 100 more sick people tomorrow.

And after a very long day of that they are entitled to close up shop and go home for the day. You are not the ONLY person on earth.

Next time make an APPOINTMENT or arrive very early. If you are a walk-in, nothing is guaranteed.

Those who staff Minute Clinics are not doctors, dear. They are nurses and nurse practitioners.

Long ago, I worked as a receptionist in an office of general surgeons.

I remember receiving taking a call one Friday afternoon, one doctor had gone, and the other was finishing up writing in a patient's chart. The caller, a woman, wanted the doctor to stick around to see her neighbor's teenaged boy with an ingrown toenail. It had been bothering him for two or three days and was very painful. The doctor told me to tell the caller that her neighbor should take her son to the ER--no Urgent Care facilities, back then.

The caller said, "But we're just five minutes from your office!" That had nothing to do with how long it would take the doctor to look at the nail, decide whether it had to be cut out, and to do the job, if needed. I've had the procedure, and it does take a considerable amount of time. We would have been there until 6 p.m. The boy had put up with his pain for two or three days, so why did his mom and neighbor wait until 4:55 p.m.

on Friday evening to call?

You and your boyfriend should have gone in sooner. Which says nothing about your spelling, which also needs serious word.

And I should have done some proofreading, myself. I took a call; I didn't "receive taking" a call. And your spelling needs serious work, not "word."

Your boyfriend needs to be arrested for dating a five year old child like yourself. Your spelling and grammar are that of a kindergarten child so I know your boyfriend is dating a child.
