On 10/2/2023 I had a walk in appointment at the CVS on Main Street in Dunedin, FL. I saw Jaime Nereida. She diagnosed me with a sinus infection and prescribed me 7 days of AMOX-CLAV 875-125 MG tablets. She then suggested that I get my flu shot while I was there. I told her I was very reluctant to do that because I was sick. I have always been told NOT to get the flu vaccine while sick. She assured me that it would be fine as long as I have never had a reaction previously. I told her I have never had a reaction to the flu vaccine, but I have always gotten it when my health was very good. I felt very pressured by her to get this vaccine, but I agreed because I trusted her as a health care professional. I also suffer from severe asthma and Rheumatoid Arthritis, which she was well aware of. I took the AMOX as directed and continued to get sicker throughout the week. I kept waiting for relief to kick "after a few days" as she said. My breathing and coughing issues became increasingly alarming, so I visited the clinic at my primary care provider, Diagnostic Medical Clinic on 10/9/2023. I was seen by Keirsten Crabtree. I was very sick at this point. I was very afraid because I have been admitted to the hospital in the past with these exact symptoms. Ms. Crabtree was very concerned and immediately gave me a breathing treatment and a prednisone injection. She said I did not have a sinus infection, that I was suffering from bronchitis. She was appalled that I was given a flu vaccine.
I am now finally beginning to recover, after taking the four meds that she prescribed to me. I believe that not only was Ms. Nereida incompetent in her ability to diagnosis, but she was motivated by a financial incentive to give me flu shot. This is horrifying, and she essentially made me much sicker. I am pursuing legal action in this matter, so please accept this as a precursor to that malpractice action.
Sincerely,
Dina Prairie

Desired outcome: Your prompt here says to state a desired outcome because "the company can't read my mind." That is a very condescending and unprofessional statement to make. Initially, I would like some type of response and explanation for my experience.
