At the doctor's office playing the waiting game. This place has the worst staff of any doctor I've been too. The receptionist never answers the phone or has any ideas what's going on, and the five people sitting behind her are just busy doing data entry. I've sat in the waiting room for 30 minutes a few times when there's NO ONE ELSE WAITING.
If the doctor wasn't so good I'd find another one.

@Mrfunkedude Have you thought about charging your doctor a late fee? George Costanza tried it once. (I know, I know... not exactly a ringing endorsement) ?

@Mrfunkedude sounds almost as bad as shopping in IKEA
Mr. Funk E. Dude
@leighms the one grateful thing about having arthritis in my knees is that I cant walk thru Ikea anymore.

@Mrfunkedude Have you told your Doc about the staff? Might be worth telling her/him.
Mr. Funk E. Dude
@ForfarFairLady yep. He just tells me that he'll "look into it" ?
Mr. Funk E. Dude
The waiting games continues. I've made it to the next level.

Finally out of the office after only having been there for five minutes with the doctor. I waited an hour for a five minute fucking consultation. Good thing I don’t have to see him for another year.

@Mrfunkedude Maybe you can finally get a nap on that chaise longue.

I haven't been to the doctor since COVID started. When I called to get an appointment with an earache, they weren't seeing any sick people at that time. Just prescription refills. I've been using the virtual doctor ever since.
Mr. Funk E. Dude
@That_One_Guy I do the same with my general practitioner. This was a specialist and they apparently don’t do that.

This is where telephone and video calls are so good. Having to travel to an appointment, wait for long periods for a 5 min appointment is a was of time.

@That_One_Guy I thought I had tinnitus once. Then I realized it was just my ex-wife.

Typically you have to see a specialist in person. I saw an ENT for my tinnitus a couple of years ago, after $1k in MRIs I decided to live with it.
Mr. Funk E. Dude
@That_One_Guy Well I hope it's not too bad for you at least.

I wish it were that easy. I was told I either shot too much skeet without earplugs, ran a chainsaw too much without earplugs or too much CNC machines without earplugs.
I wore earplugs for CNC but not much for the rest. It wasn't really a thing on the farm.
