Ahhh, I knew it. You live that much simpler life! I'm a little envious.
I love Charlotte, but it seems like you have to be dying to see THE DOCTOR, LORD MAJESTY, himself. My neighbor works for an internist that I would love to see sometime, but everytime I call to see him, they tell me he's not available for months and set me up with his physician's assistant or nurse's assistant. It was months before I actually saw the man in the hallway. I thought he was this phantom doctor!
Several times I've called the psychiatrist's office with a problem and the nurse didn't call me back for days. One time it was a week later, I was out shopping, my cell phone rings, and she says, "I understand you have a problem?" I was so mad that I said, "Not NOW! I did a week ago!" I have complained to the doctor about this, he seems very upset about it, and promises me it won't happen again---and it does. It's a shame, because I really like him. Oh, did I mention that once I waited 2 1/2 hours to see him? Every 15 minutes, I'm up at the front desk asking about my status and they promised me I'd be next. Come to find out, there was a mix-up with the records and he didn't even know I was there. He was upstairs eating lunch! That was the breaking point! I left him, tried two other doctors, and I encountered the same problems there---and I didn't like those doctors. So I'm back with him, because, excuse my French, at least he's a damm good doctor who is up-to-date on the lastest treatment. Is this managed care at its worse???
