  Do not trust these people with your health. They will leave you worse off than you were. Or perhaps I just scored a particularly awful doctor. I was working an event where I needed to be serving customers 12 hours a day for 3 days. I was nauseous, vomitting and dehydrated. I asked them for help (I only wanted a maxalon injection so Could get back to work.) They told me they were transporting me to the doctor on the other side of the event (very big event, very far away). I see the doctor, tell her my symptoms and she refused to do anything for me, saying condescending things like "you dont look that bad," "I only have a limited supply and I want to hold on to it for more severe cases," "if you get worse, come back, but Im probably just going to tell you to go home." So as if that wasnt bad enough... Ive reached out to this service for help, theyve refused treatment and to even CARE basically. Then I could NOT BELIEVE it wasnt their policy to transport me back! This doctor KNEW I hadnt slept in 2 days, was extremely weak and exhausted, hadnt eaten for a fair while, couldnt keep water or anything down, and was constantly nauseous and vomitting every 5 minutes. So then I got to make a very slow, awful 45 minute walk back to work where by the time I got there I couldnt even stand up. What a waste of my time and energy - and theirs. They could have just told me "probably not going to help you since youre not in a life/death situation." Or "were really hopeless, dont bother." If you dont want to help people dont pretend to provide the service. Truly disgusted and disheartened.
