Yesterday, I was having some pretty painful issues that I felt warranted a doctor's visit. So today, I called my doctor's office to see if I was correct and to make an appointment. The following conversation is one of the many reasons why I avoid dr's offices at all costs.
After explaining my symptoms....
Receptionist: Yes, you should come in.
Me: Okay...can I make an appointment?
Receptionist: Like today? (doubtful tone)
Me: Um, well I guess not. I guess as soon as possible.
Receptionist: Um sure. What's good for you--morning or afternoon?
Me: Mondays and Fridays, afternoon. Tuesdays through Thursdays, morning.
Receptionist: Okay...how about July 7th at 11:45? (note: TODAY is JUNE 13th.)
Me: Um, last night I was in pretty serious pain, and if this is what I think it is, is it possible that I can come in earlier than a MONTH from now? I'd like to get it taken care of.
Receptionist: Okay, let's see...how about this Tuesday at 10:00?
Me: YES.
WHAT THE....?!
