AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Why can't doctor's offices just work in the patient's best interest?
I just got a call from some woman from my doctor's office. She was calling to ask about all these referrals I had asked for. She tried to tell me that i needed to meet with my doctor to decide which tests I needed to get done. I explained very sllloooooowwwwwlllyyyyyy that I had a letter from my surgeon saying I need these specific tests done before I can get surgery. The convo went something like this:
Idiot: "when is your surgery date?"
Me: "I don't have one yet. I need to get all of these tests doen before I can get a date."
Idiot: "Because some of these tests take time to schedule so if your surgery date is in a month... when is your surgery date?"
Me: "I can't get a surgery date until I have the results of all of these tests."
Idiot: "Did a doctor refer you to have these tests done?"
Me: "Yes! My surgeon, Dr. Campos, to whom I was referred to by my regular doctor, Dr. Desai."
Idiot: "Well, Dr. Desai is on vacation for the next month."
Me: "Excuse me?"
Idiot: "Well, you will have to come see another doctor so that they can evaluate you and see which tests you need to have done."
Me: "I need to have all of these tests done. I have a letter that has been mailed and faxed twice to your office. It has a specific checklist of tests and referrals I need. There is no choice. I can't have my surgery until I have these specific tests done."
Idiot: "Do you have a date for your surgery yet?"
Me: "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
So I made an appointment with some random doctor for tomorrow afternoon. I can't do this phone shit with the idiots anymore. Now I can go in with my folder full of info and research and just get the damn referrals. There is no way they can deny this letter in person. It is very, very specific. If this doctor tomorrow doesn't give me my god damn referrals I am going to drag her upstairs to go talk to my surgeon. I am over this shit. There is a difference between putting in effort and not having anyone listen to a word you say. I am goin' in there tomorrow and kicking some serious ass.
