Hey, I hope that runny nose you are having is really worth the appointment thankyouverymuch

Days like today make me wonder why on earth anyone would want the government to control their healthcare. Now, I’m not sure if TriCare is government regulated, but since it is associated with the military, it’s about as efficient as any government program. Let me give you a personal example…

“Um, yes, I need to make an appointment, as soon as possible please. I can even come after four.”

“Okay, what’s the problem?”

“Well, um, I’m having severe abdominal cramps and I’m peeing blood.”

“*silence* “Ohhhh,”

“Yeaaaa.”

“Let me pull up the schedule…. We can see you two days from now. Can I send you to a different provider? Yes? Ok, we’ll schedule you for Wednesday.”

Meanwhile, the little voice inside my head is crying, but, but, I’m FREAKING PEEING BLOOD!!!

Efficiency. And the after hours clinic was closed, and I feel twenty times worse than this morning. Ugh, I feel like death.
