Non-Doctor Visit

I am livid. I think though I handled my rage extremely well. I got to the new doctor 5 minutes early to my appointment and got registered rather quickly. I went upstairs and filled out the new patient form and then waited, and waited, and waited. 45 minutes later I asked and found out that there was still 4 people ahead of me. Then the receptionist was kind enough to say that the doctor was routinely a hour behind. I quipped, "That would have been nice to know" and then she tried to back pedal by saying that each day is different. If I had known he was backed up I would have probably run home and gotten Jeshua so he could have gotten Phaeton and then Phaeton would have driven Jeshua to school before coming back to pick me up. Instead I decided at 4:35 that I just could not wait since there was still 1 person in front of me. I went downstairs and asked for a refund on my credit card. The woman who checked me in informed me that she was already clocked out and her drawer was counted so she could not do the refund. They would gladly place the credit on my account with the doctor though. That is when I informed her I would not be back. That I would be finding another doctor who is not routinely a hour behind. To me that is unprofessional or incompetent. Neither qualities I want in my doctor or doctor staff.

The only good thing is that I did think of drowning/appeasing my rage with food, and then figured the energy would be best spent with exercising. *grins*
