My Walk in Visit to Doctor during Time out

 


Monday Morning, the morn after Beau was sick all night, I woke up with my earlobe swollen twice its size, pierced earring hole (not used in 5 years) bleeding and red, and after I got through with the walk in visit to the vet for Beau I went to my Primary as a Walk in.

PA Jennifer, diagnosed infection, gave me choice of topical cream or antibiotics by mouth, or both. I chose the cream and said if it doesn't work I will call   you.

As she left she said, the nurse will be right in to break you out of here and left closing me in the windowless closet they call an exam room. 

EIGHTEEN minutes into wait, I pulled open the door to the cell, and staring at 8 closed doors, waited with my arms crossed over my chest looking, well, angry.

Finally the Door opens across from me and a Doctor steps out, says, Can I help you Mam?  I replied, with my story and said I think nurse forgot me. He walked to 3rd door down where I could hear talking and laughter, and came back out trailed by Nurse who did, forget me.   

this meant it was the PA who forgot to tell the nurse to order only cream, I am allergic to ointment, but this worked well, because when I picked up my RX they handed me Both Cream which turned out to be Ointment and BM antibiotics. 

Yay! I forgot to tell her I thought I had a sinus infection, so the mistake gave me 7 days of pills. I used the ointment which made it itch but due to the mistakes I got the pills... 

PLUS I found out while waiting in closet, that Amazon tracks me reading my books. when I found the screen shots you see at the top of post and the blue days mean the days I read.. 

You can see by all that blue that I rarely miss a day of reading. It's my escape from Henny Penny talking in my head. When I read or draw, Henny Penny is quiet.

Wonder WHY you got the earlobe infection? I have sat waiting in the exam room so many times! I will finally open the door and stand out in the hall.

Once they forgot about me and were about to leave for the day. Fortunately Andy was in the waiting room so they figured it out. 😊

the husband of a friend once had a problem at backside... they placed him on a table, cheeks airwards and said the doc is there in a minute... it was a long minute and because the door was open all people who passed by saw the poor guy... he laughed but that is something what has a deep impact on manly dignity....

Don't you find it creepy that big A (or anyone for that matter) is spying on you?

Crikey, my claustrophobia would've had that door open immediately! That readership thing only started this year I think. Definitely don't recall it being there before. YAM xx

That is strange about the sudden infection! That nurse was totally out of order!

Hello,
It is strange about your earlobe infection. I have not worn earrings in decades. There are times I feel like I am waiting an hour for someone to come back into the exam room. I have not noticed the Amazon reading tracker. Take care, have a great day!
