Yuh. Um. I'm not going. You can't make me. Even Trent agrees. I received a pile of paperwork from the "other" pulmonologist's office a few days ago, mostly focused on sleep disorders. However it was the letter that included the following instruction that put me over the edge: "if you do not completely fill in the 7 Day Sleep Log we may have to reschedule you". SOME people (kind and patient people might not take offense) but this ticked me off. I called the office and asked if it was necessary for me to fill in ALL this paperwork, particularly when I am an existing patient within their practice AND because I am NOT being seen for any kind of sleep disorder. She said that I could skip the financial portion, but all the medical stuff needs to be filled in because "this IS a new doctor for you". If I were still feeling crumby I'd go. But, I really doubt this visit would bring me anything but (further) annoyance. If they can't access the most basic of my medical records through THEIR clinic then this will be a fiasco.
My numbers are still getting better. I'm at 1.82 now and working out consistently... I don't need no new doctah. I'm fine. And anyway, I'm busy that day. You concur, don't you Mike?
