Ridiculous crap with my Dr's office. I had my annual exam this summer
and at the end we discussed some surgical stuff, and he acted like I
was an idiot for wanting them, and annoyed me. And then he finished
up after making me feel stupid and childish by saying "Call my office
if you want to schedule those procedures."

SO...I went in for my depo shot Wednesday and said "Okay, I have
enough leave time accrued & a bit of $ in the bank to hopefully pay
for whatever the insurance doesn't cover, can I schedule this?"

And of course his surgical nurse, who schedules his surgeries, wasn't
in yet. So I called later and talked to her. She said she'd call me
back. She didn't.

I called again yesterday around 11, got their machine that said that
the office isn't open (WTF? Their hours are 9-6!) and doesn't let you
leave a message.

So I sent ugly email.

Called again this a.m. and the surgical nurse seemed to think I was
an acceptable candidate for this procedure and that my insurance
woudl most likely cover it, BUT said that the Dr's notes didn't
mention our discussion, so NOW I have to go back for a "consultation"
to talk about it with him AGAIN (What a giant waste of everyone's
time!) and even if he just says "OK" and doesn't talk down to me and
treat me like an idiot this time, the nurse says he's booked until
December. So I'd have to wait until then. Feh.

I want OFF the depo. I want a permanent solution. I don't want to
have to fuss and argue with every damn body in the world to get it.
But I will if I have to.
