I've had enough of doctor's offices today!

Two hours for blood and xray is wayyyyy tooooo looooong. That's just unacceptable!

The other thing I hate is playing phone tag. We have a couple of doctor's offices where you have to leave a message with your number for them to call you back to get an appointment, for pete's sake. I just don't think that is right. When I call for an appointment, I want to talk to a live person on the phone and I want to make the appointment right THEN. Since all Gary's appointments have to correspond with my schedule, they have to call me back, and many times, I can't answer the phone when they call (I'm in class or meetings). Do they really think all we do is sit around and wait for them to call????? I think if doc offices would hire enough people to actually answer the phones, life would be easier for us and them. I just hate waiting for the nurse to call us back when Gary is sick or having a problem. They tell you to just "go to the ER" if they don't answer you quickly enough. Yeah right, just what I need a $10,000 ER visit.
