i was supposed to do a follow up with my dr yesterday for a wicked headache with eye drooping and blurry vision which put me in the ER twice in the last 4 days I was supposed to have an MRI last night "in 2 to 4" hours which still hasn't happened 14 hours later, even though the guy in my room who has almost the same symptoms and came 3 hours later than me already had his several hours ago.
hospitals suck
also see like, this is very frustrating to experience, and I get that they can't tell you another patient's private information but they could at least apologize and be like "We're so sorry, due to certain reasons we had to bump his scan in front of yours, but we're doing our best to get yours done. It's looking like it'll be (whatever their best estimate is for the current delay)" but instead you just sit there like ?????????????????????? why'd this guy go in front of me?????????
all the comments in this thread defending it are frustrating me, like, doctor appointments just seem to be this unique temporal event where it's just like being in line at a drive through and you have no idea what's taking the person in front of you so long, but also, you're literally scheduling them, for a specific point in time
dude what the fuck I hope you're okay??? I am so very worried about this exact sort of thing happening to me
not sure yet, they finally are taking me but i feel ok
Very worrying symptoms but hopefully if there's something on the mri it's treatable
sending woo woo nonsense good vibes your way bc i find that better than prayer
your woo woo worked! they released me (the kraken) tonight! they stll don't seem to understand what the problem is but they're going to shuffle me off to ENT and optomology experts instead of raking in those sweet insurance dollars any longer
