Incompetence

After a 4 day hospital stay in West Virginia, I flew home to Washington. After arriving, I took one day to re coperate because the pain was intense. I went to the ER. They completed thier examination and said thier were severe tears in my right thigh. They prescribed a minimal amount of pain meds and said to see me regular doctor. I do not have insurance, so I have to pay cash. I went to Orchards Urgent Care in Washougal WA. I saw Ron King, a P.A. He examines my injury saw the incredible amount of bruising and swelling and prescribed a couple of days of pain meds. He asked me to come back in 2 days and see Derrick Knowles, he said " he was sure he could help give me good care". I came back in 2 days, Dr. Knowles came in the room, with an attitude, sat down and ask me the problem. I knew he read the file, so I explaine the accident. He was sitting on a stool, leaned into me and said " I am not prescribing narcs" like I was a drug addict. I asked why he was responding to me this way, his comment was " you have seen 3 doctors in 4 days". I was floored. The ER Doctor said I had to see a primary care Doctor, his associate, Ron King ask me to see Dr. Knowles and Knowles has the arrogance to tell me I have seen too many doctors. My opinion is Doctors like knowles that don't have time to do thier homework should not be providing care to people. possibly research or something that can not harm people.
