Update: I guess I'm doing better. Its hard to say. My foot hurts and I'm moody and tired, but that could really describe any day that ends in 'Y'. I went to the Apple store on Saturday, and that was NOT a good idea.
I haven't done a normal post in a while, so here's something:
Remember Dr. Douchebag? The asshole who was such an asshole to me when this whole foot thing started? Well I Yelped that guy. I refrained from calling him Dr. Douchebag or using profanity, but I did spell out my experience and gave him one star, which is unfortunately the lowest score you can give on Yelp. There were two other reviews on him, both bad, and in one of them the patient ended up losing a toe!
Well, I guess he checks his Yelp reviews periodically because he sent me a letter of apology! It was a while ago, and I can't find it right now otherwise I would show it to you, but it was clear that he'd read the review. If you really want to see it, let me know and I'll check if its in the mile-high pile of papers that I need to go through.
Then yesterday, I got something else in the mail from him, and it was a bill for $10. Can you believe that? I can, because usually the billing people have no idea what the doctor is doing and vice-versa, but for a minute I thought maybe he was refunding me the over $100 I spent in his office. I thought about sending a copy of his apology letter to the billing office and telling them where they could stick their ten bucks, but that doesn't really do anyone any good, does it? Its just misdirected anger, and no one, especially some poor slob in medical billing, wants to be on the receiving end of that.
On a more positive note, my general practitioner has been an absolute dream. I love her so much, I want to make her cookies.
