They told me that my doctor might be too busy to call back (Dr never got the message), they gave me medical advice..bad medical advice, and they told me I could not go to PMA urgent care that night. Had I known they were foreigners, we would have hightailed it up to PMA Urgent care. In a crisis, this call service could have caused a disaster.
I talked to my doctor and office supervisor and I was told there was nothing they could do. There is something strange going on in PMA. We developed a way to get around the switchboard to solve our problem.
Bahamas, I think. But I agree...bad! Rather than deal with offshore incompetents I just go to Premier (I live only 3 miles away) and deal with the incompetents there in person.
