Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Everything medical related is such a fucking hassle. Dealing with Grace aging out pediatrics is a nightmare mess. We haven’t been able to get in to see an orthopedic doc and I’ve spent 3 days on the phone trying to make it work. Unsuccessfully.

Happy birthday to Mac! I will think good job-with-health-benefits thoughts for him.

Thrive to spite them

I hate calling doctors so I try to use My chart for all my appointment setting needs. Luckily my Dr and the office is fairly responsive .

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

We had appointments with our PCP scheduled, and then his paternity leave dates changed, which means pushing appointments out another three months. Sigh.

They pay me in WOIMS

Just called a second time, and was told that my request can take up to 48 hours.

That’s for a prescription refill.

That is some kind of bullshit, Tom.

Just got the text from my pharmacy! 7pm on a Friday. I really hope it’s correct this time.

And nope. He just sent over the exact same wrong prescription again. Jesus Christ.
