Sigh.... time for a wee rant....
I have spent the last four hours trying to get in to see a doctor for a physical. I've finally gotten off my ass and accepted the fact that I need to get my shoulder fixed. But I hate my current primary physician and the way she farms me out to other doctors for everything and anything. After making me see her twice first; of course. So I'm looking for a new doctor and it isn't as easy as one would think. Every call I've made I'be been told that October is their first appointment. Wtf....seriously?
So I called a friend and they told me about a doctor I've heard of before.... and would you believe that he is walk in only? I could go today if I was so inclined. For a physical and an EKG. Again... wtf?
So on one hand we have 15 doctors that I called today who couldn't see me until October. And one who is highly recommended that can see me immediately.
What is wrong with this picture?
Obviously I'm going to the one I can see right away. And may only use him this once as a means to an end. But it really speaks to how some doctors try to make themselves available no matter what. In other words.... the patient is important. And it says a whole lot about the other doctors who can't be bothered unless you are already a patient there. No matter what the situation.
