12. I was shocked at one particular APN's treatment towards me

She's the one who told me to be sure and get a DNR filed with them because if anything should happen while I was there, she'd be obligated to give me CPR, and old bones are very brittle. Not the kind of thing to say to someone with severe anxiety. Oh, and she thought that since I was in therapy, I should 'be over' the traumas that caused the anxiety. She made it clear she had zero patience with me. Both times she left me in tears. When I got a visit review request, the next day, I spilled it all out and told them every inappropriate thing she had said to me, over 2 visits and how worthless she left me feeling. She's still there. Apparently she's much kinder to other patients. I think she just took an instant dislike to me and is definitely not someone who should be seeing people with emotional issues.

My first APN was great. She retired. Now I have a wonderful NP. I am so thankful for him.
