My Trip to the most frustrating doctor's office ever!

Just returned from my appt. Here is exactly how it went:
1) I got there at 9:30 and my appt was at 9:30. Thought since I was off for
summer, go early, less wait time. There were about 8 people there ahead of me.
I knew I was in trouble.
2) At 10:00 I was called to the appt lady. She asked me if I was getting a
fill, which I said I did not know. She made me an appt. for October 19th after
school.
3) Nurses said all rooms were full, I waited couple minutes there.
4) VERY NICE nurse took me back, asked all questions, weighed me. I told her I
had been on three vacations this month. 1/2 pd. gain not too bad.
5) She left maybe 10:10. I waited in the exam room with nothing to do until
11:10. Doctor comes in then. He asks me how restriction is, listens to my
heart, asks me again if I had read Mindless Eating, that is it. TWO MINUTES! I
timed it. I waited an hour and 40 minutes for a big two minutes of his time. No
fill, no thought of a fill, no nothing. No help
6) He walks me out and tells lady I should come back in a month when I have not
been on a vacation. She looks at me and says, that is not what we did is it, we
put two months. I was not going to say a thing. Honestly, I was so upset, mad,
frustrated, I just HAD to get the heck OUT of there or burst out yelling!
(Aug3-Oct 19th--2 months??) He said that was OK would work too. She says we set
it up that way because I was having a knee replacement surgery. I looked at her
and said not the I know of. OH it must have been someone else...she says. and I
leave.
Those are the facts. I came out of there so mad and frustrated I could have
yelled at them. I came home yelling at my husband who incidentally stayed home
today to do something with me when I spent most of my day sitting there for a
two minute appt. I cried for awhile too. Guess what I REALLY wanted to do??
EAT!! Why would I want to do that now?? I believe I can finally say I am going
to start looking for a new doctor. I just do not see the care for patients at
all. And as some of you know, this is NOT my first frustrating appt. there.
This is just another one of many. If any of you know of any other good docs out
there in the Indianapolis area please let me know. I HOPE for all you that your journey is going much better
than mine. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. This is the hardest thing I
have ever tried to do. It is a 30 year struggle. I need better help and care
than this.
Thanks for listening bloggie. By the way--I KNOW this is Negative Nellie. I GOTTA get this out somehow to keep from eating everything in sight! UGH. :biggrin:
