Alright, I've had enough! I have to go to a different seminar for UofI because I tried to call that doctor my PCP recommended and it blew up in my face!:rolleyes2::clap::mad::mad3::mad5: Yeah, in case you missed it...I'M PISSED!!!!!!!!!!

 

I called and I got hung up on, called again and I was transfered to a person who obviously didn't know what she was doing and then I called again and I was yelled at over the phone because I wanted to meet with the surgeon privately. Here is the conversation:

Me: :tt2:

Phone person: :laugh:

 

:cursing:: I would like to make an appointment for Dr. *What's his name*

:laugh:: Is this for bariatric surgery ?

:cursing:: This is for a private matter that I would like to discuss with the surgeon.

:laugh:: Ma'am, you have to tell me if this is for bariatric surgery.

:cursing:: No I don't. That is a private matter. Even my doctor says so. You can't ask me that.

:laugh:: Is it for bariatric surgery?

:cursing:: I said I won't answer that because that's against the law and also doctors' law of ethics! I just want to schedule a meeting with the surgeon.

:laugh:: Miss, don't tell me my job. Just say yes or no.

:cursing:: I will tell you your job because I just want to see the surgeon. I'm not going to anwser because you just put people through the mill. I just want to see the surgeon for a private matter, that is it.

:laugh:: ...

:cursing:: I shouldn't have to explain why I need to see the surgeon because he is a regular surgeon who specializes in bariatric surgery. I should be able to see him like any other surgeon.

:laugh:: The earliest appointment we have is in January.

:cursing:: WHAT???

:laugh:: But...if you say that you need bariatric surgery, you can see him sooner than that, but you have to go through evaluations. I'll transfer you

:cursing:: Wait, wait...

:laugh: *transfers me to that stupid person who never called me back and likes to play hard to get*

:cursing:: F*ck this Sh*t

Yeah, not happy.
