"broken society"

Even though I felt physically well enough to get up early I decided to stay in bed for a few more hours.  Dread.

You remember how I always used to blog about everything being broken?  Even though I haven't blogged about it as often it couldn't be more true.

For example, yesterday I had a phone appointment.  Even after I told the clinician months ago, about how appts. are not being entered properly into the computer she still screwed up.

Get this, she tells me a month ago; "Just because you've asked for a card to verify your appt. doesn't mean I am GOING TO ENTER IT PROPERLY into the system!

When the actual appt. came up yesterday I couldn't find her!  I called like 5 people in the clinic all to try to get to this one woman.  When they finally found her she said "Oh, i'm sorry, I put the appt. into the computer as being at 3:10 INSTEAD OF 1:30 b ecause I'm dyslexic!

I must consider leaving a clinician who can't even type an appointment into a computer properly!



Then I get this call from another clinic, whose records shoed that I missed an appt. that I ACTUALLY SHOWED UP TO!

you know how exhausting this stuff gets and it is why I EXPECT incompetent service wherever I go.

"Everything is broken/ you mean you had a lobotomy too?"

Nobody's brain is working.  Every single ttransaction , cashier, med. asst. whatever, EVERYBODY says: my brain isn't working, i'm not here today.

I've been waiting 4 years to get into a pain specialist. I finally got referred to one (even though my only primary care physician is on paper only)  so I called.  I was told that she just moved out of Mountain Town.

I found out that I might be able to get my insurance to pay for transporation.  I asked 3 professionals today for the # but 3 gave me the wrong #.

When I finally did get the #, the insurance lady who was very nasty said, "you can't get a ride without pre-auth."  "How do I do that?"  So this went on and on and finally I called the specialist.  I had faxed my medical info 8 days ago.  They told me they lost it.

There are some local politics I'd like to get involved in.  Then I was told to show up at city hall and just go to "the meeting"  I said to the girl on the bus "what room?"  she replied "there is only one room in the building!"  (there are likely 200)  I asked what time?  "Show up any time on Thursday" 

"What is the meeting called?"  I asked.  She said just "the meeting"

when i got there today none of the employees had any idea what I was talking about.

Life is just a wild goose chase where nobody knows anyting and nearly every action I take is wasted because the entire society is fu#$%@!
