paona Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 My 16 year old was taken to a MinuteClinic at a pharmacy store. It is staffed only by a nurse. They waited for over an hour and then were told that since she was on fludrocort they could not give her the rapid strep test but that she would have to have it done by a doctor's order. My husband took her to an urgent care then. She saw a doctor and the test was negative. This is all rather new to us with the meds so we weren't aware that this might happen. Fortunately the doctor knew all about POTS and said he knew some of the doctors at the Mayo that dealt with that since he interned there. Just thought I'd pass this on. I don't know if anyone has encountered this with any of the fast clinics in stores that are just staffed by nurses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfgirl14 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hello. Yes I have encountered this . A couple months ago I went to minute clinic for just a simple earache. The nurse there told me that she coudn't see or treat me. I was told because of the medications I was on, and that my immune system was compromised. I am also on fourinef. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
