I went to the Hospital this morning for an echo cardiogram because I'm getting pains after the stent and angioplasty on Monday. I was told to be at hospital by 8:30 to register, procedure at 9:00.
I arrive. I wait. I wait some more. Around 9:05, this dimwit comes up to me and says "My name is XXXX and I will be registering you for today's procedure."
We go to her cubicle. I tell her, "I was here on Monday and had a stent put in."
Does that register with her? No.
She asks for my Driver License and Health Insurance card. I give her the license.
She begins: "Is you address still . . . ." Me: Yes, I was here on Monday. (Strike 1)
She asks: Is your phone number still . . . ." Me: Yes, I was here on Monday (Strike 2)
She asks: Is your health insurance still . . . " (Strike 3)
Me: Give me my driver's license back. I'm leaving.
She gives it back. She asks: "Why are you leaving?" I replied "Because I don't deal well with stupid people and you, are stupid."
I walked out.
Turns out this Echo Cardiogram thing is a cattle call. They tell everyone to be there at 8:30 and then you wait.
Bullshit to that. I'm not fucking cattle. If you make an appointment for me, I expect it will be kept.
I'm not going to spend half a day at a friggin vendor. They are supposed to accommodate me, I'm not here to accommodate them.
So they blew a few thousand dollars they could have had if they ran a tight ship.
