Now I know why emergency rooms are full of people without emergencies. I tried on Mon morning to make an appointment with the doctor. I was put on hold with a voice interrupting every min or so with "We appreciate your patience, we will be with you as soon as an operator can help you." This went on for 25 min. I finally gave up and got ready for work. On Tues I got a "real person"right away, but none of the Dr. I wanted to see.(there were 3 I liked) were booked up until the first of July!!!!, I finally got an appointment for Friday for both Ray and I. His right foot is swollen and sore and my left knee is almost impossible to use some days. This is not something you need when you are on your feet 8-9 hr a day on tile floors. OWW W! I finally got my Rx in the mail for my antidepressant. It is a good thing since I was on my last one and that is only because I have been rationing them by not taking them on the last two weekends. The antibiotic I am supposed to be taking has not gotten here even though it was"Sent" by mail on May 31st. I have had 2 "overrides" of seven pills each until it comes. I think it was never sent or that it was stolen from my mailbox. We had to put in curbside mailboxes last year, as opposed to having them on our house. Bad idea on the post offices part I think.

I am very familiar with the challenges of phone tag. My job has me spending half my life waiting for someone to return my call.
So that is what all the gibberish is on the phone?! It is frustrating to get an appointment ASAP, (try making one when you can't hear the voice on the line) and when you finally get one, cross your fingers and hope you are not dead or crippled by then!
Dr. Perks still takes patients on a first come first served basis. Isn't "modern" conviences just great?
And we live in a society with a semblence of a market economy. Imagine how it must be in socialist countries. Let's all elect Hillary!
