Lets just see what your insurance will cover….HAHAHA!
….children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio! It was really cool to drive an hour for you to blow off an appointment with my 7 week old daughter, class act! It was also great to see everyone wearing surgical masks to prevent THEM from contracting swine flu while the rest of us just sit around …..I guess waiting to catch the plague of the 21st century.
Fuck doctors in general. With their bitching about insurance cost - that doesn’t stop them from driving a Mercedes right to their private parking space that is closer than the fucking handicap spot - and their over booking of appointment spots – has anyone ever NOT waited in a doctor’s office? – it is time to put their asses in check.
1- Make an appointment, keep the appointment!
2- You got into this business to help people, quit ruining lives to pad your bank account!
3- I don’t end my name with “Retail Manager” every time I write it, you don’t need to announce “MD” either! Cocky asshole!
4-You should be the healthiest person I know, park with the rest of us! Front spaces should be left for the handicap/sick/old pepes!
5-Finish your shift, change your clothes. Yeah, some morons find your scrubs cool because you look like the cast of Greys Anatomy – but the rest of us find it gross! You spent the whole day with sick people, get some clean civies on before spending the rest of the day with us!
6-When referring a patient to another doctor, please be honest. Begin the conversation with: “I am not a good enough doctor to treat you, so….”.
7- Admit what you are, a predator of people at their weakest moment. You delay the inevitable, filling our last days with financial woes and false hope. The billions spent on medical research should be directed to serve the world in better ways. Pave more roads, build better schools, more museums, less taxes…you get the point. Better life beats longer life!
I wonder if doctors feel that way about THEIR doctors or if they get special treatment like they are in a club together. Nah, they probably screw eachothers insurance just the same.
But to note my real opinion even though this isn’t my blog or anything so it doesn’t really matter how I feel: I think my pediatrician is pretty good. Probably because he’s old school. (baby’s fussy, give her some weak hot tea). But when he is busy because he has indeed over booked himself, he doesn’t even take the time to listen AT ALL. Just hears a keyword and automatically diagnoses the most common problem. ie when K had that rash he asked me if she scratched it. I said, “not really… maybe on her belly a little but I think she was just finding her belly button”. He heard YES and diagnosed contact dermatitis. Had me looking everywhere for poison ivy or some other rashy weed. Two long rashy weeks later I had to ask for an allergy test.
Nuff said.
Doctors probably get mad when their paychecks ask questions.
Yeah…I can’t really argue with ANY of this. I kinda feel the same way. And the same goes with the money-grubbing insurance companies. Health care is NOT an act of the generous or charitable apparently. It’s all about the bank roll anymore. Which doctor can make the most off of the little people. They can bite me. I’m starting to feel I would rather lie on my death bed in pain and misery than give one cent to the medical field and their asinine way of running a business.
UPDATE:
Made an appointment for the girls to get their flu shots this friday. Went to the appointment and sat in a waiting room for a half hour with 15 kids wearing masks (due to a sign that said all patients with cold or flu symptoms would be given a mask) and one single little 8 month old girl. Finally they called out, ” The Bailey girls”. Went in and they brought one needle and told me to pick a child. They ran out and only saved one shot because they knew I had an appointment. Then she proceeded to tell me that they didn’t realize that I wanted to give both girls the shot even though I made the appointment under both of my daughters names and specifically set it for both girls to get the shot. Then I asked her whether there are alot of swine flu cases here and she said, “Oh yes, it seems to be hitting here very hard.” THANKS FOR HAVING ME SIT WITH MY TWO HEALTHY CHILDREN IN A WAITING ROOM WITH 15 EFFING SICK PEOPLE FOR NOTHING!!! To top it off, on my way out I read a sign that said they were only scheduling “well” appointments for children under 5 for the very early morning and wouldn’t schedule older kids or sick kids at the same time…. Except for my two children under five and that little eight month old girl, I guess…
Soooo pssssd!
Shoulda said, “Well F You…”
