Man, I hope you feel better soon.

So, continuing my story (and complaints)...

The major part of my issue with the doctor and his staff.  The doctor told me right off the bat there was a 10% chance of minor infection.  Fine.  So I start having issues on Wednesday.  I start calling them on Wednesday afternoon and can't get the [BLEEP] to return my call.  They finally call me on Thursday morning and I explain the issue.  Of course, they say they will get back to me.  So by the time they get back to me this [BLEEP] has obviously now gotten into my blood and I have a full blown bacterial infections and I...wait for it....I have a fever.  

So when they call me back they tell me the want me to come into the office for a urinalysis to see if they want to give me antibiotics.  I volunteer that I have a fever, because I know they are going to take my temp when I go in anyway.  So guess what...they're going to call me back again and tell me how they want me to handle it.  And now what, they don't call me back by end of day Thursday.

So now we're into Friday...day three of what should have been a minor infection treated with antibiotics.  They don't call me at all and it's now 11:00.  I c all them back, tell them I'm not in good shape and they need to do something.  They call me at 4:45...4:45!!  And tell me, you can't come in with a fever.  You'll have to go to a urgi-clinic or we can write you an order for a lab.  I'm like, this is antibiotics...we're not talking narcotics...why can't he just prescribe me antibiotics?  Oh no....he can't do that.

So now we get into Saturday, It's an effort just to walk around.  I break down and go to an urgi care clinic.  Guess what...big shocker...I have a UTI that has developed into a full blown bacterial infection.  Gee...I wonder why I had a fever.  So, finally, I get a script for antibiotics.  I go to the pharmacy, and it's closed for the day.   

I finally get to the pharmacy at 11:00 (when they open) to get my prescription filled on Sunday.  When I'm giving the guy my prescription, he says.  Oh, your urologist just called in a prescription about an hour ago.  I wish I could see the security footage to see the look on my face when he told that.  I told him I didn't want it, to fill the one that I gave him.  I went out of there muttering to myself and steaming.  Why the [BLEEP] wouldn't he call in the damn prescription on Wednesday without seeing me?  Why the hell did he suddenly do it on Sunday?  And no, I never gave the urgi center doctor his name.

So at least I now got my antibiotics.  

So today, at about 10:00, they call me and tell me that the doctor wants me to come in for a urinalysis because he wrote me a prescription on Sunday.  I [BLEEP] lost it.  I went off and recapped everything they did wrong and everything that I had been going through because of their incompetence.  Let's just say, I wasn't very business-like.

So now I'm waiting for the antibiotics to kick in so I feel somewhat human.  But I have some other side effects that I care not to discuss that had better be temporary or these clowns are going to have a lawsuit on their hands.  Not to mention the issue that I went in for is worse than it's ever been.  At the very least I'm going to find some official avenue to lodge a formal complaint against this doctor and his staff.  This whole thing absolutely never should have happened.

Wow...that was a lot.  I think that was my longest post ever.
