That was such good therapy getting the Dr frustration written down, that I will just continue the story with a little more reflection on the Drs in my life.
After all that drama I was concerned about going back to the same Dr, but it is also hard to move to a new Dr and even find a Dr. Anyway, the nurse at the cancer center suggested that I should get a flu shot this year and said I should call my primary care and get this scheduled. So, I decided that was easy enough and really my old Dr can't mess that up, right? I called that lovely (insert bad word here) receptionist and asked for an appt for a flu shot.. in her nicest (not very nice at all) tone she informed me that they had not yet even received their supply (although later I realized that cvs was doing them for free that week) and she could not help me. I replied in my very best tone of voice, determined to make this interaction a success, "When would be a good time to call back and schedule an appt?" She was hanging the phone up on me when she said... sometime next month.... whatever that means - does that mean in 30 days or does it mean the first of the next month?
I decided that it really is unacceptable to me, and I can take a lot of abuse, so I have started the search for a new Dr. and I will find one that can give me a flu shot before Christmas!
