my doctors appointment
July 17th, 2002To appreciate this story, you need a small history lesson:
Last Thursday I had a cyst removed behind my ear and it required one stitch. When the doctor was finished he told me that I needed to come back in a week to have it taken out. I went to the front office and paid my copayment. Then I stood there waiting for my appointment, and they looked at me funny and said, "did you need something else?". I informed them that I did indeed need another appointment. They asked, "what for?" and I explained that I had to have the stitch removed. They informed me that a nurse could do that, and that it would be easier and faster if that was okay with me, to which I agreed and scheduled an appointment for today at 9:30am.
So today I get to my appointment a few minutes early where I proceed to sit for over an hour while patients who arrived after me are handled. Finally, I am called in to see the nurse who tells me that I need to see the doctor. I inform her that I just need my stitch out and that the front desk said a nurse could take care of that and then she informs me that the doctor left a note in my file specifically stating that I needed to see him.
So, now I have another appointment for tomorrow at 12:10pm. As I was at the front desk making my NEW appointment, the bitch behind the counter had the balls to ask me to pay a co-payment, to which I very politely told her that she would get $15 out of me if, and only if, she dropped to her knees and sucked my dick. Okay, I didn't really say that, but I wanted to. Instead I just told her that no services were rendered and that I was merely rescheduling.
