So today's post is going to be a bit more on the ranting side. As a new diabetic, there are going to be some of these kind of days and posts. So as I have stated is previous posts, Dr. T hasn't talked to me since essentially he diagnosed me. This is still frustrating to me, especially since I still have to deal with his office. ARGH! I went into the office today to ask for my records. I need them for Dr. W. He asked for them at our last appointment to see what Dr. T did. I don't really blame Dr. T for all the office side of this, but he is responsible for the negligence. Anyway, I asked for my records via this patient portal thing that the clinic offers. I did that last week, and well I haven't had any response; hence, my going into the office today. So there I am at the counter asking for my records and the receptionist gives me this spill of "Well, legally we have 30 days to process that request." GREAT! It's going to be one of these transactions! I curtly, but no rudely tell her that I am seeing a different doctor and he needs my records. She can see that I'm frustrated and that it's most likely Dr. T's fault why I am going to a different doctor. So she tells me to have a seat and that she'll see what she can do.
10 minutes pass... Yes, you read that right, 10. She finally calls me up to the desk to hand me a form for me to fill out. Now I'm angry! I mean seriously! First, she couldn't have just given that to me first!? Even if she didn't know that I needed to fill that out, she could have preemptively given me the form to fill out while I was waiting those 10 minutes. Second, WHAT IN THIS WORLD takes you 10 minutes to check if I have that form filled out. Third and final thing, why on earth do you think it's ok to be rude and to talk about me to the other receptionists, whether you are whispering or not? I mean I was watching you! I saw your body language and I knew what you were saying. Yes I am annoyed that I am having to do this and still have to work things out with your clinic! But you're doctor, that you worked for, is really the root cause of all of this. He hasn't talked to me in over 2 weeks! He was trying to treat me like a Type 2 diabetic! DANGEROUS! NEGLECTFUL! I do not recommend the Foothill Family Clinic to anyone! VERY unprofessional! Rude, frustrating and neglectful!
However, two wonderful things this weekend! I scored a $45 jogging stroller off of KSL! Isn't it a beauty! I have already taken Autumn on 3 runs around the block and she loves it! She's always encouraging me to go faster. "Faster Mommy! Faster!" Love it!
Last but most certainly not least, Rob scored RSL box tickets for the second time this season from his Company! YAY! Love Real Salt Lake! Even though they lost. It was a good game, even though they got 3 yellow cards within the first 20 minutes! Haha! Oh love the RSL fans! They chanted "You suck Ref!" plus some other chants that I will not post, because of the audience. They may not have found it as funny as we did. But yes, regardless of the frustrations encountered with the doctor's office, It's still been a good weekend and I will not let that bring me down!
