"I've been Dr. Desalvo's client for 3 years, seeing her for physicals only, due to my good health. Felt sick and came to her, presenting with persistent violent dry cough for 6 weeks, tinged with blood, extreme fatigue, night sweats and a history of pneumonia. She refused to "speculate" about my condition and sent me home with OTC allergy meds over the weekend. Obsurd. Ordered bloodwork & chest X-rays, of course. Five more days of feeling like heck. Bloodwork came back horrific, as expected, given my OBVIOUS pneumonia symptoms. Finally, with this proof, she was good & ready to put me on antibiotics. After just one day on antibiotics I started to get my vitality back. Desalvo is a lab test obsessed clinician who forgot that I'm a human being, and not a medical school simulation.

"I've been Dr. Desalvo's client for 3 years, seeing her for physicals only, due to my good health. Felt sick and came to her, presenting with persistent violent dry cough tinged with blood for 8 weeks, extreme fatigue, night sweats and a history of pneumonia. She refused to "speculate" about my condition and sent me home with OTC allergy meds Rx over the weekend. Hilarious. Ordered bloodwork & chest X-rays, of course. Five more days of feeling like hell. Bloodwork came back horrific, as expected, given my OBVIOUS pneumonia symptoms. Finally, with this proof, she was good & ready to put me on antibiotics. After just one day on antibiotics I started to get my vitality back. ZERO compassion. Desalvo is a lab test obsessed clinician who forgot that I'm a human being, and not a medical school simulation."
