THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD →[More:]SO I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL IN JULY AND I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENT IN AUGUST. DOCTOR CANCELLED IT AND WE RESCHEDULED FOR TODAY. I GET THERE AND THE RECEPTIONIST SAYS "HE'S OUT OF TOWN TODAY." WTF?? "OH WE TRIED TO CALL YOUR (OLD) # AND IT WAS DISCONNECTED." HOW ABOUT TRYING THE OTHER 2 NUMBERS I GAVE YOU?

AND HOW ABOUT GIVING ME SOME ANSWERS AS TO WHY I WAS HOSPITALIZED? I SAW A NEUROLOGIST. HE TOLD ME TO SEE YOU! NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME I SHOULD GO BACK TO HIM! SCREW BOTH OF YOU!

ALSO - COULD NOT WITHDRAW CASH THIS AM DUE TO STUPID BANK SERVICE CHARGES SO COULD NOT TAKE TRAIN AND HAD TO DRIVE 2 HOURS DOWNTOWN + PAY FOR PARKING.

AND MY BACHELORETTE PARTY HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO A FAMILY EMERGENCY (TOTALLY LEGIT BUT I AM JUST DISAPPOINTED AND SELF-PITYING).

AND MY MOTHER-IN-LAW APPARENTLY DID NOT SEND OUT ALL THE WEDDING SHOWER INVITATIONS SO MY STEPMOM IS CALLING FOR RSVP'S AND PEOPLE ARE LIKE WTF, I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS AND IT'S TOO LATE TO COME NOW.

AND MY MOTHER IS TELLING ME TO PUT ON A "RELAXATION CD" WHEN ALL I WANT TO DO IS PUT A HOLE IN THE WALL.

MY PROFESSOR STARTS CLASS WITH HIS "WHERE I WAS WHEN 9/11 HAPPENED STORY" AND IT STARTS OUT VERY POWERFULLY - HE SAW THE PLANE HIT THE PENTAGON - BUT HE THEN TURNED IT INTO A STORY ABOUT WHAT A SPECIAL GUY HE IS. SELF CENTERED ASSKNUCKLE.

I'M WITH YOU LONEFRONTRANGER, I'M OVER THE INSANE AMOUNTS OF WORK I HAVE! ALSO, CAN I JUST FASTFORWARD THE NEXT FEW DAYS, PLEASE? I KNOW IT'S A WEEKEND, AND I'M GOING AWAY, BUT REALLY.

AND I HAD A REALLY GOOD BACON AND EGG MUFFIN FOR BREAKFAST AND JUST DROPPED IT ON THE FLOOR, FUCK. I WANTED THAT BAD.

I'M AT THAT LEVEL OF TIREDNESS WHERE I KNOW ALL I NEED TO DO IS HAVE A GOOD CRY AND I'LL BEGIN TO FEEL BETTER, BUT I CAN'T CRY FOR SOME REASON. SEPTEMBER IS THE FUCKING PITS, AND I CAN'T WAIT TIL IT'S OVER.

YEAH, LOUSY DOCTORS!!!!! I CAN RELATE TO YOUR STORY ALL TOO WELL DESJARDINS.

WHEN THE DOCTOR'S RECEPTIONIST IS LOUSY, INCOMPETENT, INEFFICIENT, THE DOCTOR WILL BE 10 TIMES WORSE. AND IT'S YOUR LIFE AT STAKE. YOUR LIFE.

HOW DARE THEY NOT INFORM YOU! AND YOU TOOK THE TIME OFF TO KEEP THE APPOINTMENT, THE TRANSPORT MONEY. THEY OUGHT TO REIMBURSE YOU FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. NOT KIDDING.SEND THEM A BILL. NOT KIDDING.

GIVE ME THEIR NUMBER I'LL CALL AND YELL AT THEM FOR YOU.

And by the way, awww, sorry you were in the hospital in July, I didn't know. I was too. Not fun. And unfortunately, I have very little good to say about the characters of MANY doctors or the way they run their businesses in which they inevitably make the patient feel lousy for attempting to stay alive.

I've had 4 aneurysms, a brain surgery, among other stuff. Hope your brain/nerves are doing ok.

Nothing like being told, "RELAX!" when one needs to vent. ugh. It makes the internal pressure worse.

Anyway, my tender commiseration and sympathy.
