so.... being unemployed = having no insurance (no, i can't afford cobra)...
having no insurance = having to pay out the arse for a doctor's appointment.
i called my gynecologist today (sorry guys... it's a chick thing) to see if he could renew my prescription without me coming in for an appointment... i was last there in february or something (around the same time as i got my new camera)
anyway - so i call up to see if i could get a refill of anti-baby vitamins (ABV)--- the receptionist checks with him, comes back and says "no"
not that i am in any danger of getting knocked up at all, but, i haven't been off The Pill in 17 and a half years.
i am a little worried as to what the hell side effects may transpire. like, what the hell is my normal menstrual schedule (again... sorry fellas. i never usually get all uterine talk with y'all... don't leave)
17.5 years and about 6 different ABVs throughout the years... and i explained my circumstances to the receptionist and she was not swayed... "he's a stickler for you to come in"... um... then why the hell did he give a refill to me last month.... hmmmmm?
to which she replied "ma'am you're being rude"
of course i had to say "well, i suppose i would be when this saturday will be the first time in just under 2 decades that i haven't been on the pill"
her: "that's not my problem."
me: (eh... i have my friend and emotional at the moment and started crying)
her: "you're being hysterical and rude, ma'am"
me: "rude? rude!? you don't know rude! howabout you take me off of your patient list - since i have never had to go to a gynecologist (sorry guys) more than once a year until i began going to your office 2 years ago"
her: "well that's the norm, but dr. schwarz wants people to come in at least twice a year especially on the pill because it's a hormonal treatment"
me: "i've been going to him for over two years and you cannot understand my circumstances? i am telling you that i am unemployed."
her: "wear a condom"
(oh. hell. no. she. didn't. just. get. snippy. and. tell. me. to. wear. a. condom. did. she?)
me: "excuse me?"
her: "wear a condom - or go to planned parenthood if you're so poor"
me: "well, i would go to planned parenthood if i didn't have my frigging period (sorry guys) and need the pill by saturday"
her: "that's not my problem that you waited til the last minute... you're being rude, ma'am"
me: "fuck you. you want rude? then fuck you... *bleep*"
so there. anyone else want to eff with a chick that is all of a sudden being denied her anti-baby vitamin hormones??
no?
yeah.... i didn't think so.
crap. i have a feeling that i am gonna be surprised by my "friend" every other week now, start breaking out in crazy acne like i did when i was 16 and have crying jags every day....
fan-frigging-bloody-tastic.
