Just waited a long time before being recognized; however, I understand patient confidentiality is very important. I was finally able to ask for a wheelchair to assist the patient and explained the car was in front and still running with the patient inside. I was told I would be helped soon. The team member was very cordial but continued to converse with the patient in front of her that were not related to her appointment, etc. After 10 minutes I finally was told she would locate the wheelchair for me. After waiting again for another couple of minutes I located the wheelchair myself around the corner from the reception desk. I did not want to infringe on the other patient's privacy so stood back, but I'm sure they could see my frustration as the patient was now late for check-in and I knew the doctor had to leave early that day, so this, potentially, probably affected his schedule.

There was always a discrepancy on my co-pay whenever I visit WellSTAR facilities and their doctors. You know, my insurance and EOB designate that there shouldn't be any co-pay, but yet when I get to the office, there's always a co-pay, okay? So they need to coincide with their co-pays or no co-pays and get back to me. Thank you.

After we entered the exam room and the nurse did our check in. We sat unattended for 40 minutes. When the doctor arrived he explained that he was trying to be everywhere at once and did apologize properly. That's not the real problem. The problem is that someone should have had the common courtesy to stick their head in the door and simply say that he was running behind. At least let us know that we were not forgotten.

TamekaCare
Tameka Pearson experienced the best and the worst of women’s health in a decade. When she overcame her first health challenges, a new breast cancer diagnosis tested her again. As Tameka conquered cancer with the support of her family and her Wellstar cancer care team, she only grew fiercer in her dedication to self care.
Overcoming health challenges
Look back a decade and you’ll see Tameka, a mom of three, teaching middle school students. She started out as a special education teacher, then became an English and language arts teacher. She said, “I truly loved trying to figure out how to help the students learn the curriculum in a different way and to help them cope with their disabilities.”
She was also coping with her own issues at the same time—fibroids, heavy bleeding and pain. After five years, she had a hysterectomy and went through menopause at 36 years old. It took a year to recover, and she gained 60 pounds, high blood pressure, anxiety and depression.
“The heaviest I could lift was my clothes basket,” she remembered. “When I got clearance to exercise, I changed my eating habits, my mindset and my life for the better.”
A new focus on building strength shaped her into a new woman—inside and out. She rose at 4 AM daily, lifted weights, taught students and returned home for time with her family.
A second diagnosis
In peak physical condition at 43 years, Tameka scheduled her routine annual mammogram. She got called back for a second mammogram due to dense breast tissue.
“Getting a call back after a screening mammogram means that the doctor wants to look at something more closely,” said Diane Harris, RN, a certified oncology nurse navigator at Wellstar Douglas Medical Center. “It does not mean you have cancer, but if you do, finding it earlier could save your life.”
But for Tameka, further imaging led to more tests and finally, a needle-guided biopsy. Two days later, she got a call confirming she had triple negative breast cancer. She said, “I felt like this little bump can pretty much dictate the rest of my life. When I heard the term ‘breast cancer,’ my world stopped. I cried for about two weeks straight.”
