So Much for a Good Doctor
Aug 04 2008

Well, it has been three months since I saw my doctor.  This isn't because I don't want to go back.  It isn't because I have no need to go back.  It is because I just can't seem to get in!

 

My second appointment was not scheduled when I needed it scheduled.  I told them that the doctor wanted me in one week after my test results came back.  They said too bad, she was booked.  Okay, what can I say.  I took the next appointment.

 

The day of my appointment they called to tell me that I better call before I leave the house.  11 people are ahead of me and the doctor isn't there yet.  So I call before I am ready to leave (about 1:30) and they say sorry, she still isn't in.  Call back at 4:00.  I am ready to cry.

 

If you remember, my last appointment last for hours and hours.  I didn't get home until 8:00 at night (if I remember correctly).  So leaving first at 4:00 sound terrible.  I am getting very stressed and my head is pounding.

 

Then, at 3:45, they call to cancel my appointment.  The doctor is sick and can't make it.  I understand.  Doctors get sick too.  We reschedule for the 24th at 1:00.

 

The 24th rolls around and it occurs to me that I never got my confirmation phone call.  Worried, I call to make sure we are still going according to schedule.  That is when I am informed that they have no appointment for me!  What?!  They canceled me and rescheduled.  I have it written down.  Why don't they?

 

I was so upset I just hung up.  I guess it is time to find a new doctor.  I knew finding a good doctor was too good to be true.
