The fact that they don't even care. You go out of your friggin way to get to a walk in clinic because you feel like crap, you get there and have to wait forever to see a doctor (like they're the pope or something) and when you finally get in there they kind of brush you off and fill a prescription that really doesn't make sense to you because they didn't even listen to your symptons. Then when you tell them you missed work they start over reacting and saying they can't issue time off because they don't know you? but they can prescribe you medication? The fact of the matter is I was sick and I wasn't looking for time off I was looking for help and the doctor just rushed me along. And then when I went to leave they asked me to pay
15$ just for a lousy letter. GEEZ!
ANYONE ELSE HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY? I WANT TO HEAR IT!

I think they totally didn't respect you and I don't think all clinics are like that? I would suggest you change clinics or get your own personal doctor. Clinics are just a place for everyone to go while your own doctor gets to YOU yourself on a personal level.

I'm not sure you realize how many people go to walk-in clinics. I had to go to one on Sunday. By the time I got there, there were already 7 or 8 people between check-in and the waiting room. Another 4 or 5 showed up during the hour and a half I waited to get into an exam room. They literally had only a couple minutes between each patient to change the linens on the beds and prep the room for the next patient. There are more patients than doctors on any given day so it takes a while before they get to you. If you are impatient and stand-offish, of course they aren't going to want to listen to you gripe and moan. They take people in the order the come in with the exception of chest pains and shortness of breath and the like, which are indications of more serious conditions. If you remain patient and cooperative, I guarantee you will have no problems if you ever go to a walk-in clinic again.
Yes, I know you're grumpy when you don't feel well. I'm the same way. But these people in the clinics are just trying to do their jobs. Please don't make it harder for them than it has to be.
