Fast Pace Health

Fast pace on 1612 e County Line Road. Ridgeland, Mississippi is horrible! My mother is disabled and I’ve been seeing doctors on my own for a while. This location is very bias and didn’t even see me. I’m starting to think because it’s of my age and my race. Any other 17 year old black girl coming to a walk in appointment by herself just mean she’s pregnant or have a std right? Well me on the other hand I was around people with covid, I had a very sore throat the night before I came … salvia was coming out of my mouth because I couldn’t swallow while I was sleep. I didn’t get any sleep at all! My nose was very stopped up, and I could barely breathe. I came to this location on Monday, September 25, 2023 hoping I could get an antibiotic, or any kind of medicine to help me feel better. I've gone to another location in Ridgeland with an older friend and she was 15 at the time. They let her in the back and took care of her. This location was different. I’m starting to think the nurse practitioner didn’t want to see me. Or was just lazy. I even offered calling / facetiming my mother. Showing her I’d or anything showing she’s my mother but the office ladies said she had to be there in person or I couldn’t be seen. The thing is. Nobody asked me what was wrong. Why I was there. What my symptoms were; they just judge me off my profile and their assumptions. I don’t want this to happen to another teenager reaching out for actual healthcare. I’ve read online, if you’re 15 or older, you can see a doctor without parents. I’ve been going to doctor offices and appointments by myself since I was 15 years old, and this is the first time this has ever happened to me. Whoever the nurse practitioner that was here the day I came should have a talking to because this is beyond wrong. I could be walking around with covid right now and don’t even know!
