I'm a pretty patient and understanding person. I am also a human which means occasionally my body parts need a check up. I made an eye doctor appointment and told the receptionist I was an ER nurse. She made me an appointment for 2 weeks out - today. I arrive for my appointment and they deny me entry - won't even let me in the door. I drove 1.5 hours to get there. I did not deny who I was or what I did. They are also trying to charge me a no show fee. Why waste so much of my time? Why not tell me you won't treat me to begin with?
I was also ALMOST denied entry to look at apartments with my daughter who was moving out.
Why does everyone think we are the unsafe ones when we wear our PPE and not just a cloth face mask?? How do we get treated if providers are allowed to refuse us service?
Am I just being a brat, or have others experienced this too? Its been 5 days since my last shift - I cant create a bigger time gap than that.
Im actually pretty angry about it when I stop to think.
