RISE Dispensaries Mundelein (Adult Use)
11/17/2017
answered a cell phone call while being helped by a patient consultant. Rather than being asked to wrap up the call by the PCT, I was approached by the security and told to hang up. I have a TBI (tramatic brain injury) and PTSD. I was on the phone with my caregiver so that she could help me pick out medicine and ease my stress while being helped.
The PCT was not aware of my condition, however, if she asked me to get off my phone or step aside I would have and also would have let her know who I was talking to and why.
A patient care tech's job goes above and beyond your average customer care rep. Dispensary patients have debilitating illness/conditions that require a level of understanding and compassion which this particular consultant didn't afford me. By unnessarily involving the security guard, I was humiliated and thrown into a tailspin all day (side effect from my brain injury).. No one should be treated this way. The way in which my phone call was handled was excessive. More in line with what you might expect in a courthouse or jail, not a place that is supposed to be helping patients purchase medicine.
