trip to the ER

i think my husband just wanted some blog time and figured the best way to do it was to having something to do with drugs, doctors and the likes this week.

well, yesterday he came home from work and said that he had white spots on his throat. i got out the flashlight, and it was out of control. i immediately grabbed the phone to call his doctor. it was 4pm. they close at 4:30. i basically asked for mercy. could they please work him in. it was obvious he had strep, obvious he needed meds. i have 2 small children (aka-let's not get the whole family sick) and my sister is having her wedding reception on saturday. not to mention that jon leaves for work well before they are open and wouldn't be back until they had closed on friday. what did i get for my pleading for mercy. NOTHING. no compassion. not even a kind word. i got transferred. i got told they couldn't help. protocol ruled. they don't work people in after 3:30. he should just go to the ER! so, i got off the phone and we changed his primary care doctor with our insurance company. from now on, jon is going to see my new KIND doctor who will actually CARE.

yeah, and he had to go to the ER last night to get some medicine. and they gave him loritab for his pain. LORITAB! a little overkill don't you think? i mean, i got loritab when i had a c-section. he just has strep throat. mercy.

all of this makes my blood boil.
what gets you boiling?
