#holy fucking shit #I just got off the phone from trying to make an appointment to a specialist my doctor is referring me to and like #rudest fucking person #I don’t do well with phone calls they really aggravate my anxiety and then I don’t do well with confrontation #and idk what this woman’s fucking problem was but she nearly fucking made me have a panic attack #I’m fucking shaking #I have a family history of breast cancer and having some issues and like I already had an ultrasound of my breast done that showed I’m okay #but my doctor wanted to send me for a mammogram and to a specialist e aide of the family history #felt like the entire time they were just lecturing me and talking down to me and like #she was very aggressive and practically yelling at me #she refused to schedule the mammogram #and then was berating me for having the ultrasound done through a different network (switching because it’s cheaper for insurance) #then she starts telling me she’s not schedule an ultrasound cause I already had one #which like yes? I’m not being sent for an ultrasound it was a mammogram they wanted #then my doctor wants me to get blood work done and i literally just got told this on Friday #it’s only Wednesday and I haven’t gone cause I have to fast for 12 hours #which is difficult with my job because I work in a stockroom and it’s physical #so she’s yelling at me about that and I’m telling her I’m going Saturday because of my job #and then she’s like well you don’t need to make the appointment till you do that #which is like????? it’s takes a fucking day to get test results #and she’s like not explaining things well and I’m very confused #so I’m like well they were also referring me to a specialist can you help me make that appointment #and then she’s giving me so much attitude and she’s like no! I only schedule mammograms! #like lady! how the fuck am I supposed to know that? this is the number they gave me to fucking call on the referral voicemail #so I’m practically in tears and I’m on the verge of a panic attack and I’m like is there any way you can transfer me? #and in the most sarcastic voice ever tells me she can #and then like I just barely started to say thank you and she cut me off and had me on hold already #thankfully the person she transferred me to was very nice #but the best fucking part was she’s looking at my chart and she tells me oh it looks like you need to schedule a mammogram first #so I tell her about the other rude woman I had just spoken to
