I am active in clinical research and am part of a number of projects to improve the delivery of medical care, like the 24 hour blood pressure monitor and streamlining system-wide medical practices. As part of my practice, I also assist in teaching medical students and internal medicine residents in the clinic and in the hospital.

I explained all of my issues that came up that week, and told him this happened 2 yrs ago and I was hospitalized. He ordered no blood work or urine to check my levels, with exception to the labwork request I brought with me from my mental health provider to check b-12 and depokote levels. I explained last time I was kept at hospital for rhabdomyolysis from rapid muscle death when I experienced the same involuntary bilateral muscle seizures. Without any tests run he concluded that when I asked if it could be from new medication, he made the assumption it was without any testing. Told me he refilled a RX, updated my chart that I was allergic to a medicine and put in other drs lab request and have a good day. I also mentioned I was irritated in my vagina area, because the med was an antibiotic, I historically have to take diflucan whenever I take antibiotics. He didn't offer a script or ask to see affected area or test urine. I felt like he just listened to me, and copied down what I said without treatment. I have specialists at Mayo for pulmonologist, allergic disease, ear nose throat, and now orthopedic. But everyone keeps urging me to get into primary care Dr to check levels, and find out if there are any new issues to address. I did not receive that care, this is why I wait until things get to be unbearable and just go to ER. I have had to have 10 surgeries, and I have chronic eosinophilia. Chronic illness that so far has effected many systems of my body. I do go to Mayo infusion center every 4 wks for a nucala, immnotherapy injection to boost my immune system. I do not see a doctor at Mayo every month, I am just there for injections. Dr Ingham seems to write me off because I have specialists at Mayo. I get the impression he assumes they are treating me on pop up issues, and that is not the case. I am told time and time again that is what the primary care doctor is for. I did not receive that care from my primary.

The problem with this visit was getting the prescription that we all agreed upon. A student was with Dr. Ingham and did most of the work and consulted with Dr. Ingham on the treatment regiment, which included two medication. No one gave me the prescriptions because they would be called in and no nurse saw me after the Doctors, so I left. Went to the pharmacy and found no one called the script in and asked your office to do so, fast forward three hours later and found no script was called in and again called your office to hear that the script will be priority. Nothing happened that day so I showed up at your office before 8:00 A.M. and waited for Dr. Ingham, when he arrived he told me it was a mix-up with his student to which one would write the scrip., that is when I said this was on you and not your student because he does not carry the right and liability to write them as a student. When I came in the day before I was in a lot of pain and even more having to wait another 24hrs. because he and your nurses could not provide a script in a timely fashion - very poor care management. Now - how do care issues get elevated when multiple failures have occurred? See this in action tells me your SOPs need to address with better corrective actions. You can see that I waited on this survey because I wanted the medication to run it course and as of today I am still having discomfort with the joint and need to know who and how to proceed on correcting this. Dr. Ingham is a fine physician and should take this criticism professionally and learn from it - if not then your company has a problem, as for me we can move forward as long as there is a willingness to do so.
