Why not trust the experience of the patient that obviously knows what's going on? Jenny always comes back from blood tests with bruises for days. That is terrible.

I went to see mine complaining about my energy leavel and he had no answers. Hmmm... Just another damn lupus side affect. My primary ran a blood test for Thyroid problems, Like i need that. The medical assistant had no idea how to drawn blood from someone in a wheelchair, I tried to explain to her just put a pillow under my arm. But she decided she knew better. So she proceeds to put my arm up on a examination table on a pillow. Then proceeds to poke and prode my arm and puts a bandage on that I had to rip off because I was allergic to. My arm still hurts and ended up infected. Hi there,

The imaging center failed to send a report to UCLA even though we handed them the address and requested it be done. New problems with no solutions for the old problems.
