I was telling Heather today that the darn thing about these comments is that sometimes "tone" and "intent" isn't always obvious. So forgive me if I sounded offended. I wasn't. Not in the least. PROMISE. You better not edit any post because of some dumb comment, girl...I'm serious. (Heather and I talked about this, too--obviously she and I have been "burned" by a commentor. But that's a whole other story...)<BR/><BR/>We are so BFFs. It's all good.Lula!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18341753113164178323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861518104298318602.post-65043516760698050772008-07-08T11:30:00.000-04:002008-07-08T11:30:00.000-04:00Ugh, Patient First.

I had to go to Patient First and of course, it was crowded. I don't understand why when you have broken ribs they make you get up so many times to register, tell you that your registered, and then let you know it's going to be hours before you're seen. I was in so much pain that I cried and of course thought maybe I'd be seen faster...But all they did was give me a wheelchair to cry in. When Mady started getting irritated and crying, a doctor actually acknowledged me! I understand the whole first in first out thing. But come on! Mother with broken ribs and infant should be seen before a woman with sniffles!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106135549432870015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861518104298318602.post-48315104209186494292008-07-08T10:50:00.000-04:002008-07-08T10:50:00.000-04:00MEP-We have a Patient First (same type of thing) j...MEP-We have a Patient First (same type of thing) just down the road that I have been to on several occasions. Never once had to wait less than 2 hours and then sat in the exam room for no less than 45 minutes watching them walk by looking in at me. After all that I get the harried, bored attitude. Wait, maybe I already have a black mark on my file! That would explain a lot.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the Minute Clinic hasn't heard of me yet.CaraBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614627167922944626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861518104298318602.post-81683593865074696232008-07-08T09:10:00.000-04:002008-07-08T09:10:00.000-04:00I've had good experiences at The Minute Clinic at ...I've had good experiences at The Minute Clinic at CVS (I've posted about it before). I felt like I was the center of the universe in the exam room and not at all rushed. They take most insurance there as well.<BR/><BR/>Though, I also visit Dr. Internet quite a bit. Plus, my best friend's husband is an ob/gyn so I am fond of calling him (via my friend) for issues I don't want to "bother" my doctor with!mephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074153090546740903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861518104298318602.post-17833548670565415132008-07-07T23:19:00.000-04:002008-07-07T23:19:00.000-04:00Lula - I haven't been able to stop thinking about ...Lula - I haven't been able to stop thinking about your comment and decided to get rid of the offending sentence.

You're absolutely right about the debt and starting out not making much but you can't tell me that the potential isn't there. Or maybe I'm just going to the wrong docs. LOL. I've had it in a brace for 3 days now and it is starting to feel better, thanks!CaraBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614627167922944626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861518104298318602.post-84611867804363024372008-07-07T17:19:00.000-04:002008-07-07T17:19:00.000-04:00My husband and I are laughing out loud at your com...My husband and I are laughing out loud at your comment regarding money being a motivating factor while working through medical school and residency. Because 95% of all physicians leave medical school at least $150K in debt (praise God, we didn't--Scott's was paid in full by a benefactor and that is something we DO NOT take lightly), and most residents make about $35-40K per year, depending on location and specialty. We ate a lot of beanie weanies while in our 3 years of residency.<BR/><BR/>My husband has said it millions of times: there are easier, faster, and more sane ways to make a buck than being a physician. Trust us. And no, we do not have a $75,000 Merceedes. It's a Porche. JUST KIDDING! <BR/><BR/>Now...back to your wrist pain...is it feeling better? Because the Internet doctor sounded pretty spot-on with that diagnosis. I'm not a medical expert, but I did marry a medical student who became an expert.<BR/><BR/>Go pick up your sweet precious and love on her some more--but carefully!Lula!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18341753113164178323noreply@blogger.com
