Rational/irrational annoyance at pedi's office

[starbuck]

We love our pedi and all the staff there except for the office manager, who is the biggest twatwaffle to walk the face of the earth. I called today to get DD in for her eczema and a rather nasty cough.

"Hi, Office Manager, my name is Mrs. J and I would like to bring in O for her eczema."

"Oh, ok didn't we see her for that and you got something like a cream? Why can't you just do apply that?"

"Yes, but we have been applying it and it's flaring something fierce, she needs to be seen."

"Well, I suppose I can get you in, but not today. How about tomorrow?" *We book the appointment*

"I'll run it by her, but I'm sure she won't give you anything different."

NEWSFLASH, YOU ARE NOT THE FUCKING PEDI, LADY.

When I tell you something is wrong, don't suggest shit, book me the appointment. Annoying.

not irrational

if you didn't drop $300k on med school, STFU with the medical advice

Grade a asshole

Dick!

My son has eczema, and there is more than one type Rx the Dr. can prescribe.

The office manager makes the appointments? So strange. I'd tell the pedi that she is giving medical advice over the phone.

Tell your pedi about the exchange.

[redheadk]

Talk to your pedi. That is completely unacceptable.

Tell your pedi. Office manager should not be suggesting how you medicate or treat your child. She is not a medical professional - or ask the office manager to see her medical degree.

This pisses me off on your behalf. Definitely talk to your pedi - he or she needs to know that the office manager is attempting to cut down on office visits.

My pedi' sold receptionist was like that. I hated her so much. Then one day POOF! She was gone. I like to think she was fired. The new one is awesome.

Yeah, there would be words. I might also suggest that she either take the day off or time her lunch break to coincide with my arrival. No ma'am.
