This month has been the worst for doctor appointments!

Eye Doc
Last week I traveled an hour away to be told I don't have an appointment that day and then an hour home.... and I go to this doctor next week!

Plus I went there last month expecting to see the Emory doctor, but he wasn't there at all that day I was scheduled to see a regular doctor (never mind that I have a regular eye doc near by) and charged  over $150 for that visit which resulted in a lot of nothing, really. 

Then I get  a letter saying I missed a visit, but I didn't it was rescheduled and their computers were down so they didn't put it in later? I guess.

Then I'm told rudely on 2 over the phone and then later in person that *I* was the one who changed the date. If I had changed the day wouldn't I have known about it?! 

They had told me when I was there for the last visit, (with the OTHER doctor not the Emory doctor I wanted to see) if I had proof I was covered by ARMC they would do something about my bill. At the time I was waiting on paperwork from the government to turn in to get on the indigent program. She said that was fine, just bring it in next time. 

But she didn't want to take my ARMC papers because their bill (for the doctor I didn't want to see) started before the date on my ARMC papers!!  GRRR

Finally she took the ARMC papers (made a copy) and gave me my next date for sure. I asked because I had 2 different dates again in my stuff. 



Then

Specialist
We traveled over an hour and a half the next day through bad storms toward Atlanta to be told I didn't have to come in to see that doctor, but that I could get my results from my local doctor.

So we canceled and went home and called the local doctor who says No, he wont see me, I need to see the specialist. That's why I was sent to a specialist. Grrr

So now we have to make ANOTHER appointment to see the specialist and go back over an hour (about and hour and a half each way) and pay to see a specialist on top of the "every 3 months" appoints I have to pay for at the regular doctor to qualify for medicinal programs.

Anyway.

I am waiting to hear about when I can go back an hour and a half there to see the specialist to see if I have cancer or diabetes or what because my local doctor refuses to tell me. 

And I'm waiting on local doctor office to make appointment for me to see someone at ARMC (if possible) to see if I have MS.
