12. I got referred to one not too long ago...

Thu Oct 16, 2025, 10:37 PM

Thursday

The person at the front desk didn't check me in correctly.

A FOUR HOUR wait in the waiting room.

I was quietly fuming when the doctor finally called me back there...

He said he was going to pursue approval from my insurance for a PET scan.

I never heard back.
