Mishaps with appointments

I’ve had pretty bad luck this week with doctor’s appointments. I waited a month to see my pulmonary doctor and when I showed up there was no one in the office. The lady sitting outside the office taking people’s temps suggested I walked over to the hospital and see if my appointment was there instead. After I walked through the entire hospital the pulmonary office was exactly on the opposite end of which I entered. When they tried to look me up they said my appointment was a month from that date and to come back in a month. See, I had to get babysitting for this appointment and that is not an easy task to do. I kindly showed them my appointment card which clearly stated the date and time and showed that I was indeed right. They had put it in wrong in the system. They had me see a temporary doctor for the time being who ordered a bunch of tests. His bedside manner was terrible. I’m glad I won’t be seeing him again. At least I hope.

Today I thought I had my appointment with the gastrologist, where I had to get babysitting since they don’t let you take your children to doctor’s appointments, and when I showed up for my appointment they told me my appointment wasn’t until tomorrow. I looked at my appointment card and this time they were right, I thought today was the 10th and it’s not. Heh.

I just can’t wait to start feeling better.
