I Call Bullshit

All women, well maybe not all, the vast majority of us has someone in our life called a gynecologist. In short, the gyno cops a feel and makes it to third base without even buying you a drink.

Anyway. I called my GYN today to make an appointment for my annual check up. Previous to the phone call today I had called in November 2009 to schedule something in January 2010. The pleasant voice on the other line told me because I had visited in March 2009 that an annual visit in January 2010 might not be covered by my insurance because it had not been 12 months. Ok. I'll call in January for March, so I thought. The first available appointment is July 20, 2010. A full 6 months away. Can you believe that shit?

Oh one more thing - I called the office number & this is what I hear "If you are in labor please press 7"....wow.

Hmmm ..... I wonder if "Number 7" is a direct link to an epidural.

Just be happy it didn't say "si usted está en el dolor del nacimiento, pulse siete."

So AZ isn't the only place that does this? I can call and be sick as hell and I call and they give me an appointment 3 weeks away, I could be dead by then.

you could always wait until your 12 month check up is due and going to be covered, then press seven... just sayin.

Ok... I LOVE THE LABOR THING! Press 7 if you are in labor. I might just start a medical clinic and name it that.
