Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Yes the nurse's reaction was asinine and more, but a good way to handle that was to retort how dare she accuse her boss of being stupid enough not to appropriately date the script ahead of time ! He is a fine, conscientious doctor and she should not give patients the feeling that he is inept. Say it loud enough for him/her to hear. medusa frescasdad wrote: > Sorry for the spelling errors but I'm so upset, I don't care. > As I go to set my appointment, I say the the > receptionist setting appointments to make it for 3 1/2 weeks out.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 What a bitch I would mention this to the doc. maybe that day is the only day you can get a ride or other reasons which she doesn't know how rude. Deb RN >I say the the receptionist setting appointments to make it for 3 1/2 weeks out. It just so happens, the nurse overheard this and she butt in saying.. " OH NO, we know that trick. We weren't born yesterday " I said excuse me! What are you insinuating? She said... " I know what your thinking " I said, how can you know what I'm thinking. She said " your not the first one who has tried this " I got really offended and went off on her saying you don't know what I was thinking and what I was thinking is to not wait until the last minute as I was taught by professionals. I am so tired of this attitude by people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes wish just for two months, pain would incrouch into every aspect of their lives just so they can see just how awful living with chronic back pain is like. When their bills are late, their homes get dirty, their lives turn upside down. Then give them their health back. Now lets see what they have to say. Sorry but I am pissed. Fescasdad: The law has changed that they can put the start date and you can go over two months and like you, I am going to start asking for my prescriptions like that. My pharmacy has had to ORDER my meds before and needed five days so I would tell her to put the start date on the prescription and let me have my doctors appointment a week in advance. I would type this up as a memo and asked for it to be put in you medical chart so that anyone that has the question this nurse did, read it and what she did was inappropriate and as a Pain Patient you have rights also. You can go the state license site and type in this complaint against your Doctor's clinic and you can also report her to her Nurse's registry if she is registered. I would speak to the Office Manager also. You do not deserve this. Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I am in total agreement with you. The nurses act like they are in charge of how everyting works. I use to get that all the time. Now I have switched famliy doctors and she sent me to a pain clinic. They are all nice with the exception of one or two nurses. I just had to say someone else out here in the pain world knows where your comimg from . lol My husband said if you didn't know better the medications must belong to the nurses and they don't want to give them up.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I like it when I call to ask for my reauthorization of certain medications, and the reception says it is here in my file, already waiting to be picked up. The previous receptionists at this clinic used to give people a hard time, especially if you did not announce yourself properly. I would say that I was here to ask for a reauthorization of my medication, to which she would reply, " and which one would that be? " Then she would look over her glasses, and say, " And you are? " real snotty like that. She acted like I was rude to interrupt her candy-bar break! She may as well have said " and who the hell are you, and what the hell do you want? " I like it even better when the doc writes the prescript ahead of time, and the lady puts a stick-it note with the " do not submit to pharmacy until such-and-such a date. " So far, since they replaced the front desk people, and a few of the clinic doctors, it has been a lot more pleasant. Even over the phone, if there is a disagreement with how things are going, they stop what they are doing, get up, and go get my file to see what I am talking about. I prefer to be treated with dignity, and I like to be able to leave with a thanks, and to remind them how much I like the way they handle things. <harleyhoney2130 wrote: > I am in total agreement with you.
