After my second beta, the nurse I love and almost cherish told me that the secretary would call later that day to schedule our first u/s appt. Ugh. the secretary who never calls, has made me cry and is the reason for this post's title. So, call me crazy, but when I hadn't heard from her, I called her the next day and said, in my sweetest voice, "Um, hi. I need to schedule an u/s appt." Her response? "You can't just schedule an appt. when you want, that is decided by your doctor." See what I mean? Who responds that way? That's right: the evil secretary. Like it would ever occur to me to just call my doctor's office: "Hi, yes, I would like to schedule an appendectomy. I have just decided I don't want this pesky appendix any more." I took a deep breath and responded that I HAD spoken to the nurse, and she informed me that there was no order on record. I called nurse nice for help and waited. Waited until evil secretary called back at 4:50 on Friday to tell me when my appt. was, saying they were booked solid for next week and that they scheduled me for the FOLLOWING week at the most inconvenient time possible for me and DH. Nice. Inconvenience and extra wait time. Just what every IF girl loves (but at least is used to).

ugh, what a beyotch! how hard is it to just be nice? i HATE people like that! sorry you have to wait so long, but maybe it will just make the wait until the next one shorter?? okay i am reaching but it was the best i could come up with...
ReplyDeleteThere's an admin JUST like that at my RE's office. I usually suck up to her with a truffle or something and she's gotten a *tiny* bit nicer. I guess these two could've answered the calling to become either "DMV worker" or "RE office admin" and they chose the latter. ;) CONGRATS on your happy baby news. I am guessing multiples. But not octuplets like that nut job.
ReplyDeleteI hate people like that! Someone needs to tell her that part of her job of being a secretary is being pleasant to patients... and competent...
ReplyDeleteHi,thanks so much for leaving a comment about my surgery :) That's such great news about your beta! congrats! And argghhh what an annoying secretary.
ReplyDeleteWhat an unprofessional cow. She needs a swift kick up the arse. We are all entitled to professional interactions from the entire healthcare team. It makes me so mad that these people have jobs!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with evil cow and of course, your cycle.
