Psychotomy

This morning was my functionless psych appt. I say functionless b/c he just hands me a scrip and there isn’t really a lot else going on. And, frankly, I think I kindof need a new med technically.

But fancy new feature: DK woke up at 8:30, which meant he was quite awake still when I left for my 9:30. So I get there at 9:15 with DK in tow. Of course, it turns out that after moving my appointment from last Monday to today, they didn’t put me on the schedule. Bleah. But at least doc was taking in a patient when I got there. As opposed to showing up half an hour after I get there :o

~9:30, I heard a clerk telling my doc that “It looks like your next appointment isn’t here yet”. Uh, who am I? But I was busy, so I didn’t raise a fuss. About 9:45 someone comes in, says he’s late, signs in. Turns out, he was doc’s 9:30. His OTHER 9:30 I guess. Saw him leaving after changing babe’s diaper, so I waited a little bit …

Then I went up to the window. “Do you need to schedule another appointment?” Uh? Other than like 5 minutes to change the diaper (and I had to ask for the bathroom key, so, you know, they had to know I went to the bathroom) when was I out of this waiting room??? So I pointed out that, no, I was still waiting. Nice man apologized and went to talk to doc. Who, when he called me back, seemed annoyed. I guess I interrupted his morning nap :o

Looking at his appointment roster on his desk (it’s sitting there, and I’m carrying the baby, so … yeah, moving on) and the patient I saw going in initially was his 9:00. Then his 9:30 at 9:45. His 9:15 and 9:45 skipped. And when I left a little after 10, the 10 and 10:15 hadn’t signed in yet either.

And it’s my fault that I actually needed to see you? Of course, they hadn’t pulled my file since they hadn’t written my appointment up. And, apparently, during the 45 minutes after I checked in they didn’t feel the need to be bothered. So he had to write down my name, my DOB, and then asked what I was taking. And apparently I’m taking half the “normal” dosage of my Effexor. He wrote up a 150mg scrip, and told me to call him if it was the wrong dosage. Oi. Or, you know, your schmucks could have looked for the freakin’ file.

So, now I need to call and get the scrip changed. He says he’ll call the pharmacy. Mind, they don’t have the scrip, so I don’t know how he’ll do that. And if I give them the scrip, they’ll fill it. But I won’t have the chance to take it to the office for quite a while. Wheeee
Or do I want to fill the higher scrip ….
