Angry Another bad experience with a doctor's office!

I am back again (sorry) because I ended up in another argument with another doctor office because they did not have my records. The lady was extremely rude and told me that if I did not have my records in 24 hours (appt was supposed to be tomorrow) I could not have my appointment! I told her that this appt was important and I wanted to even see if I wanted to continue treatment with this new doctor and just at least talk with her about options and stuff. She then told me this was not a meet and greet and that I would not be able to talk to the doctor at all without those records! I have never been treated like this and I even explained to her that I had given my release to everyone else and that they were supposed to fax it over. I then took a breath and said I would call her back. I decided that I was over this whole thing where receptionists and doctors are allowed to treat me bad and I called her office back and basically told her that I did not appreciate being talked to that way and that I was going to find another doctor, this was the first time I have ever had to do anything like this regarding a receptionist or doctor. I was so angry I was shaking! I am so sick of all of my doctors or front desk people not following through on anything because meanwhile I get worse and feel worse. And it makes things worse when the front desk people or doctors treat you like you are bothering them and you should not even be there! ARGHHHHH!!!! I have to call tomorrow to find out if my new pain doctor even got a referral and if not (again) I am going to have to talk to that other office again I wish they would get it together! I mean, I am having a rough time as it is dealing with constant pain, my stim not charging right, hardly sleeping, and still trying to function and do my schoolwork! This whole episode is why I get nervous to see or talk to new doctors in the first place Just thought I would share that I had to get this out. It just gets me that people in healthcare (who are supposed to want to help us) get to treat us like dirt, I treated people better than I get treated (at the doctor) back when I was in sales and working! I guess I just expect to much from them or people that are supposed to help me. Oh well, I guess I have to get used to firing doctors
