I went to the clinic and by my symptoms it was believed that I had contracted the flu but was past the point of Tamiflu to help.
They told me to ride it out and take over the counter medicine to alleviate my condition.
As I worsened(trouble breathing, dramatic loss of appetite, other issues) I then again went to the same clinic and the doctor told me "at least you don't have pneumonia" and gave me other meds.
Two days later I said f it and went to a hospital to see a doctor because I could barely breathe.
About 2-5 minutes into my visit the doctor said that I have pneumonia.
Immediate treatments and complete change of meds and my issues were resolving.
So no. I don't know for sure.
That particular "minute clinic" felt off. Even on the initial visit.
The scary part is I'm not the only one I know that has questioned the same place.
I'm not going to condemn them all, but I will never go back to that one!
With that history it could have been both; a complication and a missed diagnosis. Did either do a chest xray?
