[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 354005, member: 1233"] I am so sorry. My doctor has had few "sick" appts lately and often they put me off over a week for an appointment for any reason. I too won't go to the ER if it can be avoided (and we JUST got an urgent care place and it is on my insurance!! Yippee Skippy!!!!) because about ALL they will do unless you spew vomit or diarrhea on them is to give you benadryl. Sometimes they are even "nice" enough to give it to you via shot - but they make SURE you know how "nice" they are being to go so far out of their way. [SIZE=1][COLOR=Red]stupid people, grumble grumble[/COLOR][/SIZE] I finally got in to see her this week and told her that I would have been in several other times in the last year but even if I called at 8:01 am there were no available appts for up to a week. She said that they were telling me wrong and there should be plenty of appts. She excused herself and went out to "correct" them, then apologized for employee turnover and poor training (practice is run by a corporation and training has been cut almost completely apparently). Said if there were any other problems to call her nurse. Often the doctor has no idea what the front office is doing around here.. I had one doctor who's office was making collection calls on bills the day after you saw the doctor. Even on lab tests not back yet!!Telling the doctor resulted in a quick stop to that nonsense. No doctor has EVER given me a patient's bill of rights. I have to look that up. In your case filing a grievance was exactly right. It is pure bad management to have no appts and not squeeze someone in when a patient is truly ill. Pure poppycock! Anyway, I hope and pray you get to feeling better soon. I'm sorry that you feel so cruddy now. [/QUOTE]
