"As a front line ER doctor I can say my staff and I would have been good with clubbing the unvaccinated like baby seals, so i guess Osha mandate was a good compromise . . . " Dr. Matthew Way, MD Twitter @PoliorcetesMD

I came to the ER with issues breathing and trouble swallowing. He came into the room asked me a million questions... which is find but then used the fact the i have other sympotms against me and refused to treat me for my throat since he could not see anything. I explained it was deep in my throat and that i have a history of abscesses and surgeries. He then asked who my primart care physician was. I explained i had just moved her from IL and did not have one yet but i asked if he had a recommendation. Instead of recommending he baggered me and made me cry. I am a strong woman and i deal with men daily as i own a largr business but he looked at me after a few more mean comments abd said "if you think we are doing a scan to check you are wrong so would you like to leave now or get your blood drawn?". I stayed because i figured he might see something to how him i was really in pain. He didn't. He was terrible towards me and i heard 2 nurses speaking about how he made me cry and that is… was sad.

was forced to see the doctor at the ER -- he is part of a group, South Arlington Emergency Medical Associates, that are not in network with hospitals and REFUSES to accept in-network payement and only offers a 15% discount if you pay in full. Had the in network been accepted, my part would have been approximately $25; the wonderful 15% discount only lowers the amount by $57. Being paid over $500 for a 15 minute visit is outragous.
