Had to fight for it.

.

First, had to wait a long time to get through.  About an half hour.  But the conversation was short.  If she sent me to the wrong system.  I had to wait another half hour to get through.  But, again, the conversation was short.  This time I got to the right place.  But, again, I had to wait a half hour to get through.

At that point, I had to argue with the woman.  She was trying to force the Ogden clinic.  I told her no, there is a closer clinic.  After debating this three or four times, I was beginning to wonder if I had been misled.  Nope, she finally looked it up or talked to someone and got it.  Then?  All she could do was put me in for them to call me back.

I was expecting... a few weeks to months before I could even speak to someone, to then make an appointment.  They... just called?  An appointment very soon.  Physicians assistant.  Actually?  For the most part, if they trust their own works?  I trust PA's and NP's more than I trust doctors.  IF they are good, and self-competent.  And not complete feminist or gay twits... twats... or else.  But a good PA or NP is the best medicine I have ever seen practiced.  I think doctors burn out, or are created burned out?  It... doesn't improve through years of practice.  Though, some, a few, hold on better than others.  Some just stop caring, or even begin hating, us... their patients, clients, whatever.

My doc in SLC, while a bit fussy and troublesome... was okay.  The female doc, resident?  Before him was also pretty good.  I debate, argue, push, and pull, but it's not just to be... disagreeable.  It's because I want to live as painlessly and rightly as possible.  And... they are... sometimes... very wrong.  But, it's their practice.  I'll let them be an employee, if they are a good one.

Prove you can do your job, I'll... give you a chance.  Show you are incompetent, I'll set you on the sidelines.  I AM the boss.  It's my life.  And, yet, I'll give you some... chances to prove yourself.  Just not regarding diet, or things which you, usually, know nothing true about.  Ugh.

So, I'm set up.  Which is good.  He should be able to get me arranged for post primary wound care.  I won't go to SLC or Ogden, both places are compromised, one way or another.  Funny, Ogden, they were saying, has lots of room for more clients.  Wonder why.  My guess is, SLC also has tons of space.  Perhaps they need to start... downsizing.  Just... send us to private, on some medical plan.  Get the fed out of veteran "care".  We are all backing away from that.  I feel bad for some of the folks who work there.  Some good ones.  But a lot of... questionable ones, and worse.  Dump everything not medical related, at the very least.  Including most admin.  Won't happen, but... yeah.

Well, on back to gaming.  Never did do coffee, or finish it.  Should be ready.  Oh, the call came right as I was getting to it.  Best finish that.  Later.
