Cherokee health systems is the antithesis of the Hippocratic oath. Cherokee health will refuse to "soothe the pain of anyone who needs [their] art" if you're 10 minutes late. then they'll demand apology when you express frustration at how difficult it was to get there only to be told you will not be helped. My elderly mom has a good friend, she used to go to Cherokee in Knoxville, turns out she experienced the same thing, 10 minutes late and told she would not be seen at all that day, she cares for her autistic grandson full-time and this can make things difficult when it comes to being at an appointment with superhero space-time precision, but Cherokee doesn't care, you're a number to be added, subtracted and erased like a chalkboard equation. Maybe they wouldn't have to let people know they need patients in such embarrassingly public ways if they quit mistreating their current ones. just a thought.
