2 weeks ago, I went for my 6 week-after the baby check up. I needed to come back in two weeks, so I stopped by the front desk on my way out.  The lady at the desk is very chatty…too chatty. Once she said something to me like “You have BlueCross Advantage? They should cover your IUD. That lady that just walked in…she told me Blue Advantage covered her IUD.”  It would have been funnier if she had handed me a HIPPA pamphlet right afterwards.
But anyway, back to my story. So, last week she made me an appointment for this Wednesday at 1:30.   I like 1:30. I made all my prenatal appointments at 1:30. Its just enough time to get to the Drs office after I put Pookie on the bus and just enough time to get back before Geetle’s bus comes home. Perfect.  So when we made this appointment, she said that the calendar looked light, there were no other filled appointments between 10am and mine at 1:30. She said the Dr. might want to “compress” his schedule, so don’t be surprised if they call me in a few weeks and ask me to change the time.   You know, he won’t want to stick around for one late appointment, giggle giggle, she said. I said, whatever, I will burn that bridge when I come to it.
Well, she called me twice today. Once to change my appointment from 1:30 to 1:00 and another time to pressure me into taking an even earlier appointment. The reason? She said “the doctor has a case at the hospital.” really. you don’t say.
Don’t lie to me now when you told me the real reason 2 weeks ago Chatty Cathy!
So, as of right now, my appointment is 12:30. But I expect Chatty to call Wednesday morning and cancel it for me. I really hate doctors. Its really a lose-lose for me now. Either the doctor tells her to cancel my appointment or he agrees to stick around and see me, in which case I have to worry that he is holding a grudge. Last thing you want is an OB/Gyne with a grudge. Its sort of like when we fear making a waiter mad, in case he retaliates by spitting in our soup. I really don’t want my OB/Gyne mad at me.
