ugh, I'm annoyed

The reminder card for Zoe's appointment was in the stolen diaper bag, but I knew it was on the 2nd, because the receptionist, the ped and I discussed if they were even going to be open. Well, I tried calling last week, got an answering machine and left a detailed message with Zoe's name, my name and my number. Never got a call back. I went in at 9 because that's when they open and our appointments are always early and I figured, if nothing else we could come back later.

Well, the receptionist wasn't in yet and the ped couldn't find my appointment and had to see patients, so I sat there for 20 minutes until the receptionist came. She said she tried to call me back last week, but my number cut out in the middle. I wanted to ask why she didn't look in Zoe's file for the contact number, but left it alone. Apparently, her appointment wasn't put on the books, so now we have one for the fifth.

Bastards! I had something similar happened last week. Ev had a flu shot appt but the dr took a personal day because his father passed. The receptionist only had my work number on file and apparently called my work to let me know BUT I wasn't at work. When I came to work there were no voice mail... so I'm naturally suspicious if she called at all. I hate wasted trips.

[TrudyCampbell]

That's ridiculous! So frustrating.

That is totally annoying. "I didn't feel like looking up your number and can't possibly even squeeze you in, despite the fact that doctors always give a small allowance of time for urgent, unscheduled visits. Pease fuck off till next week."

[cat19]

As if you weren't nerve wracked enough. Ugh.

[monkeybabe]

I really like my pediatrician, but sometimes I wish the practice had more than two people working there.

[carawestt]

That's frustrating, I'm sorry. Like PC said, luckily the 5th isn't too far away.

[dixeedeluxe]

I'd be so angry and I'd be SURE to tell the actual doctor about it when you do see them.

[browneyedhunni85]

That is so annoying. Sorry.

[monkeybabe]

Luckily, they're only 10 minutes away, so it wasn't a huge waste of time, just annoying. I'm also cranky because Zoe nursed all.night.long and I think I've finally succumbed to the cold Zoe and Patsy have.

[rjamz]

That sucks, I'm sorry. I hope you all feel better soon!

[monkeybabe]

Is there a 9 month growth spurt? I swear, if she wasn't nursing last night, she was flailing until I gave her the boob back.

[raynes]

Boo to that!

[Deleted]

I went to an appointment a day early and completely ignored the fact that I hadn't gotten my appt reminder phone call the evening before. I had to wait about 20 minutes, but they worked me right in. I am sorry you have to go back.

[hass2001]

That is annoying, I'm anxious to hear her stats! As I'm sure you are as well. Luckily the 5th is this Sat

[monkeybabe]

Did I say the 5th? Mom brain: the 7th. 5 days from today, lol.
