Doctor offices need to have good front office staff. They can really make you or break you. Well today, the office staff in my children's pediatrician office really screwed the pediatrician. They allowed me to bring Monkey in to be checked for strep but then said oh you have a balance on your account. You have to pay a minimum of $50 or we can't see him. WTH!! I was just in there for over two hours with June Bug and she has strep and double ear infections and it's 99.9% certain that he has strep as well and you can't test him because I owe you money. Well I lost my professional cool and when I am mad or upset, my eyes betray me. I cry when I get the littlest bit upset or mad. It sucks having betraying eyes.
So anyway, I finally had to put it on my credit card, which I hate using so that he could get tested. He does have strep and we got a prescription for an antiobiotic. Well, duh! You should have checked him yesterday. If the doctor offices have a certain way they figure out wait time and appointments, it is beyond my understanding. So now, I have completely maxed out the credit card and have no way to buy any food for the next week if we need it. Being middle class is the new poor/low class. You make only enough to get by from week to week.
I am under a debate with myself if I will ever open up this blog to my family and friends. I don't want to drag anyone else down with my negativity. I have to work on that...
