Can my doctor get in trouble? I went on with a sore throat and pain in my back
I went in he checked my throat said looks like an infection also had a fever.I said okay please prescribe me Clindamycin since I'm allergic to everything else. He DID NOT give me a strep test. Which usually every other doctor I've been to does when I come in with a sore throat. He also didn't take xrays of my back. Anyways that night I went home I took Clindamycin 4 times that day and he gave me Aleve my fever stayed high until the next day. My throat got worse it was so swollen.

After the hospital they said follow up with ur doc tor I called and left a message no response. I called again yelling at the lady she said she'll have the supervisor contact me. Still nothing it's been a week. Of course I changed my doctor and was seen 3 days after my hospital visit. I'm better now but because he didn't feel like doing a strep test I could have swelled up and choked. Any input would be great. No negativity please and if ur under 18 don't comment
