I thought my trouble was going to be taken care of today, but it seems that wasn't to be... ~sighs~ I had an appointment with a pain medicine doctor today, I got the authorization last week from the insurance company, and 2 weeks later, today at 2p, I would see someone to take over my pain management... Well... it seems the doctor I was going to see, quit this past weekend, and this morning, the second of three doctors, packed up his stuff and walked out in front of a full waiting room, common room and out to his car, where there were 10 people standing/sitting/waiting for their names to be called to go back to see their doctor... When we left at 4:30p, they were just reaching the patients with appointments at 11:40a... ~shakes head~
So now, it's back to my family doctor and maybe find another place to go, because they should have gotten on the phone and called those who had appointments after 3p not to come in, but they didn't and we heard from one of the PAs that they would see everyone today/tonight if they had to stay until midnight to do so.. A lot of patients were beyond pissed, but those were new patients, apparently this is what it's like everyday, but today was really bad, with the loss of two doctors... I had no choice but to leave, because I was using medical transport and they stop transportation at 5pm, and my rescheduled appointment is December 28th... That is not acceptable at all in my book, so it's back to the drawing board, and maybe, I will find a doctor/office that has their act together.. The only drawback is that I have to go further upstate, as the doctors down here are either fully booked and aren't taking any new patients, or aren't covered by my insurance...
I am going to try to come in tonight, but don't hold me to it... I get to spend tonight and until my appointment with my family doctor tomorrow afternoon, searching for another place to go... And I will be reporting this place to the insurance company, and recommend that they look into them about their practice...
I have missed you all very much, but I do know that RT comes first always.... ~soft smile~ Love to my family... ~poofs to put my nose to the grind and start getting names and numbers to call in the morning~
