I hate doctors. Or, I hate our healthcare system. I'm not sure. All I know is that I'm pretty pissed.
My daughter fell off the stage during play practice (I know), and hurt her knee. I took her to the orthopedic specialist, who examined her and sent her for an MRI. She had the MRI on Friday. We called for a follow-up appt. on Friday, but they told us that they will NOT schedule an appt. until they get the test results. So, I called this afternoon. They have the results. I asked if the doctor would call us. Nope. You need to schedule another appt. to discuss the results with him. Fine. Then they informed me that the earliest opening that they have is November 27th!!! They want us to wait 15 DAYS to find out her test results!! I told the woman to have the doctor call me.
Is this perfectly ridiculous, or is it just me?? My mother in law had problems getting an appointment for my wife's little sister, who had colic. She just went to the doctor's office and sat there with the crying baby until the doctor saw her.

And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.

Hugs to your daughter SB. Doctors just don't care these days like they use to. He needs to get a partner in there to help him with his patient load. Thanks, Mig. He HAS two partners!!! That's why it's even more absurd! I'm still waiting for him to call me back. Oh, and by the way, he's performed 3 knee surgeries on Mr. Babe, operated on my mother's carpal tunnel, treated my torn rotator cuff, and did my brother's rotator cuff surgery. He also set my daughter's broken wrist earlier this year. Obviously, we're not new to his practice.

Capo, your input is invaluable, as always. Thank you for the kind words.  Why don't you take your keyboard and shove it where the sun doesn't shine until you learn to type something useful with it?? Whoa there, lass. Be kind; rewind. To be fair, this is an online message board, a haven for procrastination. It's where young people come to waste their lives, and old people retire after wasting theirs. Sorry for injecting a little humour, however violent its imagery may have been. Don't get vexed. Hug?

Mrs. R does age very slow, apparently it took her 46 years to look 21... Hey SB (Mrs. R). You trained him well my dear!!!  One thing about a younger man, you can raise them to suit you. TIS

It's not even Thanksgiving yet. Can someone explain to me why people have their Christmas decorations up already. Some people never take their Christmas decorations down. And showing Christmas shows on tv.
