What is it with their high and mighty attitude?
I had 2 calls last Friday which i missed anyway as my phone stays in my bike jacket at work, and they were from a 'private number' so i couldn't reply anyway when i saw them.
Then last night, Monday 21st August, i get another call and the doctors receptionist tells me that a doctor (who knows which one i'll see next time?) needs to see me about blood test results.
Little bit concerned now, so i'm like "Okay, make me an appointment please."
"31st August."
"Hold on, you just called me saying i need to be seen, and you're making me wait 10 days, or 13 days if that's you that called me on Friday?"
"Erm, yes."
"What exactly is wrong then?"
"I can't discuss that over the phone."
"Can i speak to a doctor then?"
"Hold on a second.......the next doctors phone appointment is September 5th." :wall
[size=1em]Are these people living in the real world or what???[/size] :rolleyes
So i took the day off work today so i could go to this doctors appointment this afternoon, after a 10 day wait, so thought i'll get the bike MOT'd in the morning as well and be resourceful (it passed).
Doc says "What can we do for you today?"
"Your receptionist called me in to see you about my blood test results?"
"Okay, let's have a look........yep, it's fine, totally normal."
"What?"
"All good, no problems at all."
"I just waited 10 days for this appointment, slightly concerned, because your receptionist insisted i needed to be seen?"
"Not sure why she did that, but they wouldn't really know anyway?"
:groan
