Ok fine they set up an appointment by phone yesterday. I wait by my phone. No call. I call the office and they tell me she with someone and she will get to me when she can. Ok I see, when it is MY appointment she has to move on, but when someone else is there I have to wait.
No one ever called. No one called to tell me we would have to reschedule. No one called at all. I will be making sure they don't bill me for an appointment.
I made an appointment with a dermatologist for October (first available) I asked to be on the wait list, which typically opens up within a few weeks... Nope. I have never heard a thing. Really? Are you telling me in 4 months no one has canceled?
I just can't believe no one called me yesterday.

Maybe it’s an OB/GYN thing LOL. I saw a new one in October she was pregnant and going to go on maternity leave and we talked about something to help with my menopause symptoms. I still smoke so I understand there are things that are off-limits for me. But I did do my research. We agreed on the Femring and if you know anything about that you know where it goes. She said she absolutely wanted me on progesterone because it’s sort of cancels out a cancer risk. Then I had to pick a different doctor for the annual that came up recently in January. Even though she was recently back from maternity leave it was the appointment I scheduled. I thought she was very nice until she made the comment that she wouldn’t have prescribed the Femring or anything to a smoker. The first doctor that went on maternity leave and I talked about the smoking. And she told me how many cigarettes she thought I should work on cutting down to. I had told her when I started the appointment that I was at five cigarettes a day which coming from somebody that smoked two packs is pretty good. She asked me to eliminate one and when I saw her again we would continue working on it. That’s why I was surprised and kind of annoyed that the replacement doctor had that to say about what was prescribed to me by another doctor. I had sent this replacement Dr. a message through our portal and let her know that I also started using the Pacha nicotine replacement gum. I was thinking she’d be pretty impressed or at least pleased. This ring stays in you for 90 days at a time. I called the office for a refill of my progesterone and a day later I got a call from one of the office girls telling me that neither one of them would continue to prescribe it to a smoker. So now I have this ring in me and no progesterone. I’m super annoyed. Now i have to call them back and ask “do i take it out and have all the horrible stuff start up again” do i leave it in until
The 90 days and then what? I get it smoking is bad and stupid. The last month and a half has been chaos. Moving my daughter and her son out of the ex bf apartment because of DM. Temp restraining order and then that hearing with a judge who clearly automatically doesn’t believe women (and we had a lawyer) it was dismissed. Then trying to get a car back that she owns but was tricked into being a coborrower on the loan meanwhile hes got no license and isnt on the loan. Asked for police help and it was a waste of time…. Sorry sidetracked. Anyway im starting tp think that some doctors don’t give a **** about helping and only think about liability and have forgotten we are dealing with a pandemic.
