I had an appointment to see a healthcare provider today. I get that everybody in the healthcare industry is short-staffed. To be quite frank, I’m tired of hearing about it. I’m tired of all the waiting and the inconvenience.
This appointment was at 3:30pm. I got there and checked in at 3:15pm. I was in the backroom and finished with the nurse by 3:29pm. The nurse told me the provider would be right in to see me. I waited. I waited some more. And I waited even longer. By 3:55pm, I had not heard anything and decided I was done waiting so I left. What angers me the most about it is how the healthcare system is so short-staffed, they feel that gives them the freedom to devalue my time. I’m sorry, even if I have nothing better to do that day, I’m not sitting in a small ass room with no wifi for more than 15-30 minutes. The only mental stimulation in that room was brochures about varicose veins.
I don’t even know if I want to do this appointment anymore. I don’t know how much of any of them I want to do anymore. I think I just want to go to my primary care physician and that’s it. I’m tired of seeing all of these specialists. The last one moved offices and didn’t update Google, so I ended up going to the old office. Drove to the new office for what I was under the impression was a consultation. Nope, it was a full-on exam. And I don’t mean just any exam, that was a rectal cancer screening. Some advanced notice would have been nice. All of that and the results were “inconclusive.”
I just got done speaking to a second relative who knows someone with rectal cancer. Nope! None of it sounds pleasant. If I get cancer and shit my pants, just kill me. That’s the end of the road for me. I’m not going to do all of this bullshit.
Anyways, that’s enough bitching from me for today. Enjoy the art.
