Had the SHITTIEST day today. After rearranging my schedule and my husband's to make this stupid ultrasound appointment, after calling the ultrasound clinic on Friday to confirm our appointment today, we arrived at the clinic to be met with blank stares and being told that I am not even in their system.
They sent us to another clinic close by, assuming that our prenatal clinic had simply sent us to the wrong place. Nope.
The first clinic somehow "lost" our appointment between Friday and today, and I spent two f**king hours trying to sort out what happened AND I didn't get an appointment, even though they were completely at fault, and I now have to take yet more time off work (time that I have to make up, thank you very much - it's not covered here like it is in the UK) to get this ridiculous and most likely unnecessary appointment done.
Not once did anyone apologize to us for the massive inconvenience and f**k-up.
Nope.
Like we've all said before, if we are 30 seconds late, they can bump us right out of our appointment or make us wait for hours to be seen, but when they are completely incompetent and unprofessional, well, that's just our tough luck, isn't it?
I'm am so goddamn angry over this that I want to just tell my clinic to go shove these extra appointments up their ass. I'd like them to cut me a cheque for the time lost, the frustration experienced, the mileage wasted, etc. Maybe then they'd get their act together.
I have a regular prenatal on Wed and I swear to god, if they keep me waiting for one minute, I am going to toss their appointment desk through the clinic window. I refuse to be treated like this anymore. It's disrespectful, unacceptable, and rude.
I am so close to taking someone's head clean off that it isn't even funny.
And beyond my rather justifiable anger, I'm just flat out confused. What the hell is going on with my prenatal care this pregnancy?
I cannot believe the number of stupid f**k-ups I have experienced thus far. From being sent too early for tests and having to re-do them to this shit-show today.
I am done.
They had better hope and pray that I am calmer by Wed because I WILL lose it. And I will not be quiet and polite about it.
Obviously, I am livid over the treatment I received today.
Beyond that, I am starting to get really rattled: is this the kind of care I am going to receive during my delivery?
Callous indifference, incompetence, and poor care?
That goes well beyond annoying. That gets scary.
Apologies for the selfish rant. I'm just raging after today and I can't seem to calm down. Every time I think about the fact that I have to go back for another ultrasound appointment on Thursday, I want to throw something across the room.
CinderellaTTC!!
