I've had enough of doctor's offices today!
I just have to vent! As you know Gary and I are in doctor's offices A LOT! Most of the time, everything goes well. Today though, we were in THREE offices in one day! I'll tell you what, that's toooooo many!
The receptionist in the first office was a real piece of work. She didn't smile and was very brusque. We had downloaded all the forms from the internet and had them all completed for her - EXCEPT - we didn't fill out the medication list on the forms. We never do, we bring a typed list of all his meds. That's what all of our other offices want. But NOOOOO, that was not good enough for miss sourpuss. She said that I would have to copy all his meds onto THEIR sheet. Well, I did, but not very legibly, I must admit. I took it back up to her and said, "My handwriting is not very good so I suggest you attach my neatly typed list". He takes SEVENTEEN freakin' meds! I know that was not really that big of a deal, but I do think that the receptionist at the front desk should at least be personable. OK, the next doctor's office was great! The dermatologist - although she looked like she was about 25 ![]() THEN I went for my bone density scan. OH MY! ![]() ![]() Then after the scan is done, and my tits are hanging down, she says, "you can go now" and I say, "uhhhhh, is there someplace I can put my bra back on?" and she gives me another big old sigh, and says, "over there in the bathroom" Let me tell you all - I was ready to be DONE with rude medical people today! ![]()

Wow....what a Saint you are Gayle....I would have done called them on their behavior. What a bunch of a$$holes. Do they think we WANT to be there? Glad you got through it without having to serve life in prison.

Two hours for blood and xray is wayyyyy tooooo looooong. That's just unacceptable! The other thing I hate is playing phone tag. We have a couple of doctor's offices where you have to leave a message with your number for them to call you back to get an appointment, for pete's sake. I just don't think that is right. When I call for an appointment, I want to talk to a live person on the phone and I want to make the appointment right THEN. Since all Gary's appointments have to correspond with my schedule, they have to call me back, and many times, I can't answer the phone when they call (I'm in class or meetings). Do they really think all we do is sit around and wait for them to call????? I think if doc offices would hire enough people to actually answer the phones, life would be easier for us and them. I just hate waiting for the nurse to call us back when Gary is sick or having a problem. They tell you to just "go to the ER" if they don't answer you quickly enough. Yeah right, just what I need a $10,000 ER visit. ![]()
