I went to Immediate Care after being ill for 2 weeks with no improvement. My PCP does not have an available appointment until March so I was scheduled for the IC visit.  After a brief routine exam, and covid/flu/rsv swab (that we both acknowledged would be negative), I was told by the NP that he couldn't find anything obviously wrong with me, he could not order further testing, and to follow up with my primary care physician - even though he recognized my PCP's next available appointment was in March.   Really?  Is that where we are in American medicine?  Or is that where Advocate is? Since the Advocate Aurora merger my quality of healthcare has drastically dismissed.  I have only stayed with Advocate to maintain my relationship with Dr. Thomas Klarquist whom I trust and appreciate.  That relationship is no longer enough and I am seeking alternative care.
