Well then...

What to do, what to do?
Today, Amanda had a phone conversation with the office manager at my local neuro's office (JWM neuro- certainly not an endorsement.). Apparently, my Dr. is too busy to pick-up a phone. We had a couple questions for her. 2 questions to be precise, could spill into a third. Unfortunately, they don't like their Dr.s to discuss anything with patients in a "non-clinical setting". Knowing the nature of my calls, options for the Cleveland clinic, possibly elsewhere, instead they prefer to set up an appointment. OH, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! Are you kidding me? You really expect me to believe that it's about a setting. How 'bout a little truth. We want to bill both you and your insurance for 2 questions. How ridiculous! What to do?

So, at this point of the whole fiasco. I can't really just switch Dr.'s because of all the crap I going through. But none the less, I find my self wanting to drive up there and give them a piece of my mind. (No pun intended.) What to do?

BTW, if anyone reading is looking for an Office Manager / Medical Assistant position, I can tell you that JWM needs both. BADLY! Not that they don't have them, they just SUCK. Just apply and tell them that I sent you because they need help. Right now I'm having a hard time explaining to my-self why private medicine is better than the socialist version. Seriously, what kind of crap is this anyway? I've often compared government run health care to going through the BMV to get medical care. Not pretty right? I'm not so sure look where we're at now. What to do?

Has this happened to anyone else out there? I mean it's frustrating to not get a call back, it's mind-numbingly-infuriating to get a call that says, "Your Doc won't call you." Really? I mean... really???

If anyone has a good neurologist they can recommend, that would be great. I'm not sure if I'll switch now or later. But I definitely will switch. Can't believe it.
Just can't believe it. What to do?

OK, side bar. I'm not trying to turn this into a political blog. I'm just pissed about the ridiculousness I seem to encounter. So since I've use two consecutive posts to vent, I'll put up some good news next.

Aaarrrggg!
