#im more upset about burning 50 bucks on uber for a scenic drive to my doctor's office

[curryalley]

Reason #968 why I hate the American healthcare system:

Doctor's office two hours before my appointment: texts a reminder how to check in

Me: arrives on time for appointment via Uber

Office: We're sorry, your appointment has been canceled. Your test administrator went home sick. We tried to call. We can reschedule you.

Me: has no texts and no voicemails

Scheduling assistant who took me into her office: Sorry, we tried to call. They're out of glue to attach the electrodes to you for your test.

Me: 0.0

Scheduler: When would you like to come back?

Me: I have a different test next week, can we just do them both that day? I already have it off from work.

Scheduler: Insurance does not allow you to have two appointments on the same day. So no.
