An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Personal Vent
I have come to the conclusion, once again, people are idiots!
I got a call this morning to come right in for an MRI. Knee issues, horrible drug side effects….I’ve run the gambit this past week or so. Of course, it was POURING down rain. What is it with me, hospitals, and rain anyway?
Is there a rule written somewhere, that if it’s raining, you no longer have to observe STOP signs? 3 times I almost got hit cuz some jackass didn’t have the good sense to actually STOP….or even slow down! Criminy!
I rush over……and wait! Shocker! I’m there, they’re there, what’s the problem? Well, evidently the little twit who does the MRI is behind schedule. Not a problem, I took a book with me. Now, I’ve had two surgeries on this same knee, and I’ve had two MRIs. Evidently, I’m an idiot, because when I finally got into the overly cold room, I asked him if this was an old machine. NO, state of the art. Really? Cuz the last two I had, were limb specific, at a sports medicine type place. He told me there was no such thing. Uh….right. That’s why I was actually sitting comfortably the last two times, instead of laying on an extremely HARD, NO CUSHION surface. Nope, according to him, my previous two MRIs were….NOT. Uh….then they seriously over charged my insurance, cuz that’s what I paid for!
Now, if you’ve ever had one of these things, you know, that the person doing the test will occasionally ask if you’re ok. Not this bozo! I was in extreme agony, and not ONCE, did this SFB ask me if I was doing ok.
I don’t care how far behind schedule you are, the patient welfare comes FIRST!
Ok, rant over. But if you need an MRI, do NOT go to Hardin County Medical Center! Sheesh! NOW, I need drugs!
