Do they put you into a room right away? <b> Yes -they take you in and weigh you and do blood pressure, oxygen, etc. You then go into another room where you do PFT's - then to an exam room with the doctor.</b>
<br />
<br />Do they keep people who are culturing bugs away from those who aren't? <b>Yes-they are pretty good at it. I am rarely in the waiting room with other people (maybe like once in 6 years) and I just don't touch anything...also I believe they have cepacia patients on another day.</b>
<br />
<br />Do they gown, mask, or glove? <b>I can't remember.....I think if you are having an exacerbation they would...they are really good with washing hands though</b>
<br />
<br />Is the doctor open to suggestions and willing to listen to the patient, or in my case parent? <b>I am the patient and I am 35, they have always been open to my suggestions</b>
<br />
<br />How easy is it to get a "sick" appointment if you need one? They told me they only have clinic on Thursdays. <b>I usually just call up and they start me on antibiotics based on my last culture. I am 2 hrs away from the clinic though so it is better for me if I just start the antibiotics from home and that usually does it. So far I am only on orals though</b>
<br />
<br />Can you email either the doc or the nurse with question? <b>Not that I am aware of-but I would love this</b>
