– I woke and found that OBGYN office called to ask me to change my appointment time from 3:30 to 12:30. This is the appointment to see what was wrong with the reproductive system.
– I called the OBGYN and left a message that the change was fine and I’d be there at 12:30.
– I was concerned they might not have gotten the message, so I left early and got there at 12:10.
– Of course they had no idea, and the doctor juuuuust left – but he’d be back in an hour, could I wait?
– I waited. I waited while hail pounded on my car in the parking lot.
– At 1:30 they put me in an exam room.
– At 2:00 I threw down the magazine I was reading and stomped out to the nurses’ station. “Look, I’m just going to write this off as a wash. I rescheduled because he moved his afternoon appointments, and it is now afternoon.”
– Nurse went off to find the doctor, and hustled me back in the exam room. I did not sit down.
– Doctor walked in. I said, “So, cyst, watchful waiting, am I right?” (The thought bubble over my head said, “CAN I GO NOW?”)
– Doctor said, essentially, yes. Sit down.
– This stupid cyst is two centimeters small. Two centimeters. I have been blaming it for my swollen belly and it appears I have just attained a new level of fat.
– For some reason I have to have another ultrasound in three months. I’m cool with a two centimeter cyst. I don’t need to get pictures of it.
– Then I went back to work and had to stay late to get a project done.
– Then I came home and had to explain to Gary how to react to me when I have had a bad day. “OH POOR THING YOU’VE HAD A BAD DAY THAT SOUNDS AWFUL.” The man is sixty! Who doesn’t know the drill at sixty?
Gah. Nasty day.

You poor thing, that sounds awful! I hate waiting for doctors when it’s their fault.
Jammie’s – with this one I always assume it’s an emergency baby delivery that’s interfering with the schedule. I feel like I need a Gyn Without the OB.
Jammie’s – BTW, that was a good response. THAT is what I needed.
How godawful. It’s horrible to be treated that way. I think you should find a different doctor. How much of this crap can you take?
Hattie – usually this office is really good at communicating when the doctor’s plans need to change. Plus, he did see me on a Saturday, so I’m weighing both sides.
