This review concerns Dr. Craig only.  I have been a patient of Dr. Bridger for years, a great doctor, one of the best you will find.  And there may be others equally as good at NHMG.  But Dr. Craig is, in my opinion, too young to be practicing on his own, and does not listen to his patients.  He doesn't know his drugs, either.   When I told him I took a certain very well known medication, and which any doctor in the world ought to know about, he said he had never heard of it and asked me what it was for.   But that was just an omen for what is to follow.  Let me explain that I only went to Dr. Craig because I was being treated for a sinus infection by Dr. Bridger, but Dr. Bridger was out that week.  So off I went to see Craig, who was available.  On hindsight, I am not surprised he was.  He spent more time typing than looking at me, and could not be troubled to look up my record from my recent visit with Dr. Bridger, where all my information was contained.  I fact, all I wanted from Craig was a longer course of the antibiotic (Augmentin) that I had been taking from Dr. Bridger, to great improvement.  I had been getting well and I was sure the Augmentin would have knocked the problem out, had it been allowed to continue. But Craig didn't see it that way.   Here was a young man trying to prove himself.  He decided (ignoring Bridger's diagnosis completely) that I had an allergy, and recommended some over the counter allergy medicines, nothing more.  I do not have allergies.  I have never had them and do not have them now.  After leaving Craig’s office, I realized I had been duped, so I went straight back in, and persuaded him (through his liaison, Miss D., for Craig himself could not be bothered to see me again personally) to please prescribe that same antibiotic I had got from Bridger, only for a longer course this time (since I had seen much improvement on that).  Craig apparently agreed (I didn't get to talk to him personally, only through Miss D) and then the secretary popped out and said I would find the Augmentin at my pharmacy.  "Okay, great," I said, and off I went to the pharmacy.   But when I got there I found to my dismay that the young man had prescribed an entirely different kind of antibiotic, Azithromycin!   Wanting to prove himself, I suppose.  Well, I had had a bad reaction to Azithromycin in the past, and so refused the prescription.   I couldn't take Azithromycin, or I would get sick.  So next day I called Craig's office to explain about that and asked him (rather through the liaison. Miss D., because you can't talk to Craig) to please give me the same Augmentin I had been taking, as per Dr. Bridger, and not the dangerous Azithromycin.  Craig then messaged back through MIss D. that he would NOT give me the Augmentin, now saying that I did not need any antibiotics at all!  I responded with horror:  "I don't need antibiotics?  But you just prescribed them!  You prescribed the Azithromycin!"  The reader is given to know that Azithromycin is a much stronger and more dangerous antibiotic than Augmentin.   You don't take Azithromycin unless you can't take Augmentin (or one of the other penicillin derivatives).  Did the doctor have no idea what he was doing?  Again I protested that I couldn't take Azithromycin, that I was sensitive to it, that it made me dizzy.  I repeated that I needed simply a longer course of the Augmentin I had already been taking, and to great success, and as Dr. Bridger had already prescribed.  Craig (through his liaison, Miss D.) flatly refused.  It was Azithromycin or nothing.  And this despite the fact that Azithromycin is only prescribed to people who are sensitive to penicillin derived drugs, which I am not, and is, moreover, considered a second, not first line of treatment for sinus conditions.  So as it is, with Craig I am either to take an antibiotic that I am sensitive to, one with strong side-effects---or take none at all.  And that has ended my relationship with Dr. Craig.   Now I am still sick and will have to wait until Dr. Bridger returns next week.
