Trouble at the doctors office
I’m sitting here in the office, adding things to Moda Persone, while I wait for the powers that be to come in and look at the videos I’ve been working on.
I was hoping to be on my way to the gym now but I had to spend an extra hour at the doctors office because the dumb receptionist decided to fuck up life. I was supposed to ask for paperwork to fill out so I could get my last Gardasil shot for free since I don’t have insurance anymore. I ask the woman for the paperwork and she looks at me like she has no idea what I am talking about. I told her by name of the other receptionist who told me to ask for it over the phone and explained what it was for. This dumb chick tells me there is no paperwork there, I would have to get it at my job, and that I am all set. That didn’t sound right to me at all but I sat down and waited for my turn.
I get in and a nurse tells me that I am getting my annual done. I tell her that I am just there for my Gardasil shot. She then asks if I’m there to talk about birth control. I tell her no and that I am just there for my Gardasil shot. She asks if I want any STD tests done. Guess what I tell her? I am just here for my Gardasil shot! So they shove me in a room and then a doctor comes in and starts talking about birth control. She gives me free samples of Nuva Ring and then she’s out the door.
Finally the nurse comes in with the Gardasil shot. I get it and I’m done. I go to the front desk to hand them a paper and then the receptionist (a different one) asks me if I’m paying for the consultaion. I told her that it was supposed to be free and then launch into my speech again. She said that she understands about the Gardasil part but since the doctor talked to me about birth control I would have to pay $60. It was a miracle I didn’t start screaming in there. I told her that didn’t want to talk to a doctor but she came in anyway and started talking and I don’t understand why I have to pay for that. I said I was just there for my Gardasil shot and nothing else. She went to talk to the doctor and came back and said that they would knock it down to $30. I knew I was going to get nowhere with that so I ended up paying for it.
During all this the original receptionist that I talked to on the phone popped out of nowhere and I told her the problem with the Gardasil. Since I didn’t fill out this paperwork before the shot they were going to charge me for that too. I told her that dumb woman didn’t give me the paperwork and that there was no way in hell I was going to pay for it. She called the company and I had to wait for an hour for her to tell me that they wouldn’t cover it. I wasn’t having that so she said she would see what she could do.
About an hour later she called and asked if she could change some things on the application. I said sure. I didn’t care at this point. Later she called back and said that they approved it. I thanked her profusely and told her that she deserved a raise. She’s clearly the only one with a freaking brain there. She’s also disgustingly sweet but I like her anyway. I’m going to write her boss a letter letting him know all that she did for me. And to fire the dumb bitch that fucked it up in the first place.
Because of that I got to the office late and now I’m just sitting here so I guess that means no gym for me today. That’s ok. My left arm feels like it’s going to drop off because of that damn shot.
