Dr.Taseen Ahmed first greeted me and asked me about the why I was in the ER. I describe all my symptoms to him which he than told me the ER does not have anything to offer me and that this is not a life threatening thing and that the ER doctors get to decide if it's a life threatening thing. Me and my mom argued with him about waiting for 4 hours for him just to deny me service. He DID NOT check my vitals or listen to my lungs or even check my stomach. Seeing how displeased we are with him turning away care/service he then asks to check my vitals and does so, he than asks me if I am taking therapy for a previous visit that was over 3 months ago, I said yes but this is not anxiety driven and that there is something to cause me to feel ill and this is the reason I am here at the ER. The doctor told me to keep going through therapy in a ignorant way. To which my mom got defense because of how ignorant/ego driven/lackluster care this doctor was showing to me. To which he asked my mom do you just want me to prescribe Nystatin. I HAD TO ARGUE FOR PROPER MEDICATION. Completely upset with the care I received from the doctor I immediately went to good sam outpatient center in which a doctor there understood why I was coming in and gave the diagnosis that I have thrush and was shocked that he denied care because the outpatient center would've had me go to the ER anyways. The doctor ensured that the Nystatin was ordered and gave me the proper care I should have got in the first place with dr.ahmed, but doctor Ahmed did not properly send over the medication to the pharmacy he instead made it so I had to wait at Walgreens, call back the hospital because the order he put in they legally could not sell it to me. So another hour goes by and I'm able to get my medicine after dr.ahmed corrected his mistake.  It is a fucking shame this person is in charge of saving people's lives and can't imagine howany have suffered because of his unwillingness to give proper care. This also is not the first time dealing with this doctor and his destructive practice where he denied care.  This hospital used to be THE best in the nation. Now..I feel like people are dying here and it doesn't make me feel safe knowing that ER doctors are denying care for something they should be treating.  IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FIRE DR.AHMED ATLEAST MAKE HIM AN EDUCATED NURSE SO THE PEOPLE THAT DO CARE CAN BE MORE PRESENT IN YOUR FACILITY BECAUSE HE DOES NOT HAVE THE PROPER TRAINING YOUR VETERAN DOCTORS HAVE.
