| - I went here because I sprained my ankle pretty badly earlier in the day playing laser tag at The Main Event near Ikea. The wait time was fairly long and I wasn't really pleased with the answers I got.
First, I went back and the lady took my vitals and then I waited in a room for someone to come get me to take an x-ray. They wheeled my into a room that was like 35ยบ below zero where I sat for a good 15 min. I'm glad I waited in the waiting room to wait some more. Anyway, someone got me and I laid down on the x-ray table that was from the 1970s. Seriously, this thing looked pretty old. In order for the guy to get a complete xray he had to adjust the whole table to be lined up with the thing that takes the xray. After about 10 min. of him trying to line it up he took the first xray and then had to do the whole thing over again. This happened 3 or 4 times. After he was done I went back into the freezing room and waited for the doctor (PA) to come in.
I met with Devon Auth who asked me what happened and asked if I was in any pain. He said he'd get me over to get some xrays done...even though I just had them done. I explained that they already took xrays...seemed like everyone in that place wasn't on the same page. Anyway, he explained what would happen next and recommended I see an orthopedist if my condition worsened. He examined my foot and pointed out that there wasn't any bruising. I was like, "Ummm, it just happened a few hours ago...I bet there will be plenty of bruising later." Any joe shmo knows that it takes several hours for bruising to show up. He then asked if I was in any pain and I explained that I was. He sort of gave me a little bit of an attitude when it came to pain meds. I wasn't asking for them, I merely asked for his recommendation and if he though ibuprofen would be strong enough. I told him that I was fine with ibuprofen because I don't like taking narcotics.
After all was said and done, they wrapped my ankle in a splint and sent me on my way. I didn't feel they took my condition serious enough because on Monday (I visited this location on a Thursday) I went and saw an orthopedist because my condition did in fact worsen. The orthopedist explained that the condition was serious because at least 1 ligament was torn and that if I just took Mr. Auth's advice it was likely that my ankle would not have properly healed, making me susceptible to chronic re-injury.
I'm sure this location is good with the standard stuff like the flu, colds, etc. It doesn't seem like they're knowledgeable or equipped for the more serious or one-off stuff.
