Ah, Charlie:
I
love the way your mind works! (And yes, it does seem like yesterday!) I second Charlie's motion!
Today's rantiness:
Suddenly, here in the USA, ever since the White House in their infinite wisdom (cough, choke, politicians) issued a statement that "Covid is over," all the doctors have gone no-Telemed.
Why? Seriously, why the hell not? My husband's doctor, who is not exactly a fan of following the herd, is doing Telemed through the fall, because he can't find people to work at his second office (which is the one "near" us, by which I mean
only about 18 miles each way).
I called my husband's
other doc (specialist) today, and they acted like I'd suggested feeding him arsenic when I suggested a Telemed. All they're doing is
monitoring his test results--and we know far too well exactly what the results are to say, so we'll know well before them if there's a problem.
I called MY doc today, as I have an app't tomorrow, and requested a Telemed-(ever since the bloody Cellulitis that the Shingles caused, my feet swell up like flipping canned hams, and I have
no shoes to fit!!), and again, they acted like I was requesting that they hand me the Holy Grail. I mean, it's getting hot here and it's not like I can walk on asphalt bare-footed.
WHAT IS THE ****ING PROBLEM? None of these--none--are urgent care; they're
not for changing circumstances; it's ridiculous. It's a power and control thing, and it's pissing me right off. It's the whole "we are making you jump through hoops,
just because we can." So that you know Who's The Boss.
For ****'s sake, we hire THEM. They don't pay us.
