Bad experience at doc today. Nice doc. Rest of office staff was insensitive to someone in pain who could not write legibly with left hand. Asked for assistance in filling out multiple forms. Was told "sorry, we have our own jobs to do." No smiles, no helpful attitudes. When I was told if I couldn't get forms filled out in next 10 minutes, I'd have to reschedule appointment, I started to cry. Asked for FIVE minutes of time from one front desk person to help me. Was refused; "we're not allowed to do that". I finished, even though it was mostly illegible, and saw doc. No surgery, thank goodness. BUT..hard cast and NO flying for at least 12 days. Cast Tech (Giulia, isn't that a theatre position?) defies me when I ask for plain white cast, telling me that a "sweet pastel" will cheer me up. THIS is a "sweet pastel"???? Then, they charged me $80(!!!!!!!!!) for filling out my forms. Even though they wouldn't even help me fill out those leave of absence forms and the FMLA forms that they sat there watching me crying in pain trying to fill them out myself. Their explanation? " The doctor's signature is what you pay for". SERIOUSLY???
Too frustrated to keep on typing with one finger lefthanded.
more later.
