I can't help but feel for the provider. She probably knew what she had but couldn't get the medical help that she needed.

They helped me with my regular checkups at a time things were tight for me. Everything from birth control, PAPs, STD testing, Mammograms, women's cancers referrals, and treatment.
Every provider no matter how often or how many clients they provide to should be tested regularly every 2 to 3 months without fail and be HONEST with the MDs, let them know you provide because you will get the best and through care for you as an individual. And with places like this there should be no excuses to get tested and treated if need be.
You cannot provide a good service and shouldn't if you are not caring for number one first-YOU. You are important and deserve the proper and best care.
Another tip, always put away a little to the side after every appt....20 to 50 bucks to take care of your personal needs like testing, treatment, birth control, scripts, eyeglasses, dental visits, etc. You'll be amazed how much you'll save and be able to afford things you need to keep you healthy.
Stay Safe, Stay Healthy ALL!
