Annie: "Dr. Grumpy's office, this is Annie."
Mr. Payne: "Yeah, the pill the doctor gave me makes me nauseous."
Annie: "Okay... In looking through your chart, I don't see that he prescribed any meds. In fact, you haven't been here in almost a year."
Mr. Payne: "My other doctor gave it to me last week."
Annie: "Then you need to call the doctor who prescribed it."
Mr. Payne: "What does that have to do with it?"
OH . MY . GOD !
ReplyDeleteseriously? SERIOUSLY!????
ReplyDeleteI have a habit of writing "call neurology if any problems arise" on my scripts, so I'll take the blame on that one.
ReplyDeleteAs we circle the drain , as the wags are want to say.
ReplyDeleteOh, so often. I can't tell you how many times people call us for test results that we don't have. "Who ordered that for you? Where did you have it done?" "oh, it wasn't our office, then you need to call the doctor who ordered it."
ReplyDeleteAnd usually the answer is something like "well I can never get through to them so I called you instead".
Uh oh. Looks like your secret identity has been discovered.
ReplyDeleteDamn. I knew I shouldn't have let Cenegenics use my picture in their ads!
ReplyDeleteI can understand about test results--the primary care doc is often CCed on them and thus could give results.
