things i hate part 2874892742

[lauramullen]

When my doctor's appointment is at 10am and it's 11am and I'm still waiting.

 

[Lila64]

I hate that laura! I had a doctor once where you basically just camped out all day, cuz you didn't know how many hours of wait time it would be. And it was made even worse by the fact you had to either come back or she mis-diagnosed you the first time

I have a specialist now who is perpetually late, so I know if I'm the first appointment after lunch, I'm still in for a minimum hour wait One time the receptionist chided me for being late. I thought the appointment was at 2:00, not 1:30. She had to make a big deal about it, like they would have to see if they could still fit me in. The doctor was obviously not even in the office yet. The nurse laughed with me and was fine with it. The receptionist just wanted to exert her "power" I guess. I just bring my iPod in and listen to music & read. One time I was almost deep in sleep when they called me in, LOL!

 

[lauramullen]

There is too many appointments. Why do they schedule so many at once? I just need a prescription for my birth control.

 

[Lila64]

Maybe they need the money

 

[lauramullen]

^Good point.

I got in and I saw the doctor for about 10 minutes and now I have to go back next week.

that drives me bonkers . . . kidlet number 3 spent a good portion of his toddler years at eye specialists . . . and the receptionist there was a NIGHTMARE, young, straight out of business college, no kiddies, no sense of humour . . . she chided me if my kids were too noisy, if I was 5 minutes late (despite the doc always making me wait a good 45 mins no matter what . . . and how much fun is THAT with 18mth old twin boys in a confined space ), if I tried to feed them to keep them quiet, or sing them songs or read them books . . . I was a nervous wreck everytime I had to go till finally I did my lid which raised the attention of the specialist who chewed her out as well . . . I didn't feel good about it but sheesh . . . a little sympathy here peeps

btw - my dad has stopped a good number of his doctors from running behind on his appointments . . . he explains up front that he is very busy man who could be working in the time he spends waiting so he subtracts the time he has to wait from their bill - it works a treat I tell ya


< petty peeps . . . really . . . life does not have to be that small

 

[lauramullen]

I try to get there about 15 minutes early because they always take the people that have an appointment at the same time by who signed in first.

 

[Lila64]

Purple - I wish we could bill the doctors back for our wait time. Wouldn't that be something? reamer: We're all busy and isn't our time just as valuable as the next person?

Sorry you have to go back Laura.

 

[cobl04]

yeah waiting is the worst. especially when you're sitting in an appointment room, annoyed that you're missing uni for the third week in a row, waiting to be told "that's coming along, we'll see you next week" and all you can hear is doctors and nurses standing outside bitching about easter leave.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I had to wait two hours for an appointment last week. Went up to the desk and complained, ended up getting my H1N1 vac for free.

At least hope it's not always free, because after watching The Morning Show with closed captions for goddamn two hours, I think I deserve something.

 

[mysterious_jen]

bonnie i think H1N1 vaccine is free anyway hun

 

[Vincent Vega]

Here in Germany they'd probably be happy about every H1N1 shot they could get rid off. If they haven't sold it to Albania, yet.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I hope the Albanian people will be okay.

I had a feeling.

That morning was not a good morning.

 

[Lila64]

I think I got the shot for free. But of course they charged to give me the shot

 

[lauramullen]

I still haven't gotten it. I really need to get it.

 

[MsPurrl]

Hopefully flu season is just about over here in the U.S. But look for it again next fall, in a location near you!

I hate giving up coffee

[DRay9911]

good gravy. why would someone give up coffee?

 

[Purplereign]

. . . I thought I just said no more mentioning that ugly *give.up.coffee* sentence

 

[RedRocksU2]

I would never give up coffee

 

[Purplereign]

[RedRocksU2]

^ You two make a cute couple.

 

[Lila64]

I hate when I call ahead to my parents to let them know I'll be there in 10 minutes. It takes them about that long to shuffle walk down to my car where I pick them up. I get there today, 15 minutes later, and they are still not there. I call them, and my Dad answers & says they'll be right down. What part of "I'm on a schedule and I can squeeze you in now" did they not get? Also not good with last minute "can you take me to the market" calls, since I don't normally have to get dressed/made up to go out of the house every day since I work from home.
