We are Poor not Stupid Medical Professionals and how they treat the Poor

402 402 Braddock Ave https://goo.gl/maps/MXgztRhF32A2

My daughter went to pick up my prescriptions for what I thought was my daily medication. My daughter informs me they ordered some sort of laxative.  I never received a call from my doctor telling me anything.

I called the doctor today and asked why I got a laxative and the nurse informed me that my ammonia level in my blood was high. I googled what that meant sure enough it was my liver.

I have Sarcoidosis, an auto immune disease that effects my organs both internal and external.

Why did this doctor do what other doctors who treat the poor do? She could have talked to me and why did she wait two to three weeks to tell me this?

I may be poor but I have great insight into my illness.  I'm poor but I'm not slow and since I've been dealing with this for seven years now I'm used to this type of news.

Medical Professionals need to stop treating the poor like we have no sense.
