| - Planned Parenthood here sucks.
I come from California where there's plenty of them, and they're quick and a affordable way for someone like me who currently doesn't have insurance to keep up with the health of my lady parts. I have lots of health issues with them girls so where I can save a little is important. Here, nothing is provided free or very low cost, it's just somewhat cheaper than going to a doctor. In Cali it's more like a low cost/free clinic.
I mainly come for birth control pills since I have a condition where I need something to set out a proper body pattern or else my hormones are wonky and make for quite a lot of bad side effects. It's very important for me to have them on a regular. It's about $27 for a pack here, which is almost half the price with buying it from a pharmacy.
Now after a year, your prescription expires. I go and drop in every month or two to get my meds and the months before my prescription expired no one on the staff mentioned it. They check every time your chart to see the prescription, so the expiration is in their face each time. I go in needing my meds, and they said since it's expired I have to see the doctor again (which is $30-35 dr. visit). I really don't need to see anyone to have the prescription filled again since none of the girls at the clinic actually write the prescription- a doctor at another location does and they just fax it over and I have no other issues to speak to them about. Also, I was there at the end of the day (30 minutes before they close) so I needed to schedule something for a future date to have the prescription refilled.
UH, Hello? If this was someones heart medication your ass would be in trouble but since I'm just some lowly kid who presumably takes pills for contraception then it's not a big deal, right?! No apology about not telling me. Sure, there are ways for me to keep track of it too, like mark this on my calendar, but I know this is part of their job to check prescriptions and remind about renewals. The Cali ones are busier and they CALL YOU to remind 2 months ahead to check if you need a renewal even though it's easy to keep track when you need pills since they dispense in 6 or 12 packs at a time.
I was so dumbfounded with how they handle things that I just left and decided I'll take my chances with being sick and in pain while my hormone levels go down the tubes.
Another shtick is why I go when they are about to close for the day on Saturdays. Previously we would go drop in on the way to work since it's more convenient than driving all the way down on a day off. However, there were times where I'd sit there for 30 minutes waiting on them to dispense my pills. With 4 people SITTING and GOSSIPING in the office and not doing anything particular, I shouldn't have to be waiting for pills. Sometimes I tell them I'm going to be late for work, and it takes them still a while to call me up. I go when they're closing because they actually do their job properly (because they want to go home!) and take the simple steps of checking my file, printing out the label, grabbing the pack, placing the label on it and then swipe my credit card. It's less than a 5 minute process. I can understand a little wait for an appointment, but they are ridiculous here. It took 2 hours until my named was called WITH AN APPOINTMENT and spent sometime waiting for a physician as well....3 hours for maybe 20 minutes of actual "face time". What' ridiculous is if it was that backed up I don't understand why the girl who did my consult spent most of her time in the front chatting with the other girls....uhhh, okay there's another technician, but shouldn't you guys both work at the same time to process everyone? The other technician also came out often and joined into things. This is why you can't put a bunch of friends without a management figure together. This one doesnt have a doctor on site all the time, only some of the days.
....This was a sorority, not a clinic.
I actually think PP in California does some good for the community (don't get on my case anti abortionist, I'm not talking about that) with the access it gives to people for responsible ways to play safe and have it at very affordable prices or for free that you're a fucking idiot if you don't go to help yourself. I used to donate to PP in California when I was in positions to have excess to give back to the community and later down the line their service was there for me when I did not have much money and needed care.
The ones out here are a JOKE and highly unprofessional. It just confirms the idea of how Vegas has shit care when it comes to health....
I left work today actually since I couldn't handle functioning with how bad it was today....something that could be avoided if they did their job right. I have an appt. with a doctor in California on Saturday and never coming back here.
