Maybe this patient should realize that only office visits gets reimbursed – not telephone calls – explaining the need to come in. Blame the system, not the doctor:
For those of you who know of my legendary patience, you’ll find the next bit surprising.I ripped that doctor a brand new number two.
I let him know that I hate how I was left wondering if there was something critically wrong that I was asked to come in long before the two weeks was up, and then he just tells me something this simple. At some point, two F-missiles roared out of the launcher; he got mad, and wanted to start yelling at me.
I let him know in no uncertain terms that he’s not going to yell at me. He said he didn’t have to take it, and was going to leave the room. “Fine, then leave. I don’t really care,” was my response to him.
