People saw a TikTok of a woman with her son, who was diagnosed but refused to take a covid test so the NP could treat him correctly and fully diagnose him to prescribe meds to him. he had viruses, no treatment was to be given, OTC meds, fluids, etc. Can't prescribe meds or treat further if not all testing is done. She was recording in the hallway and then started recording in a room for the staff to input patient information. I hope you are reading this and make an informed decision and get better either way.

I get my blood lab work draws here and the young lady that draws my blood is excellent. She is calm and cool and never had to poke my veins more than one time. It’s a skill and she’s awesome.
