  • I was able to set up an appointment with that new place I was trying to go to! and got in rather quick to which is kind of surprising since my previous doctor, I had to like schedule four months ahead of time. But instead of dealing with that one place that refused to give a referral, I called the other place and talked to them about it and they were able to get my medical records and one of the medical staff reviewed and accepted it.

    It is still really ridiculous that one place refused to write a referral, like again. It all just to set up an appointment to see someone. It’s not as if I was asking for something big.


  • I do, I just emailed their patient representative contacts with a copy of the letter attached and even mentioned of willing to file a complaint. and if they ignore that I’ll just show up to the clinic or call that patient rep line. Like, this is all extremely ridiculous all to get a referral just to see another doctor. It’s not as if I’m asking for them to do surgery or something. All this reminds me of my mom who hated doctors, and legitimately. how can someone be a doctor and not end up being like Che Guevara and wanting and fighting for change? How do these doctors just for lack of better terms, not give a shit about the people they claim to care for.

    and erg. I’m reminded when I had a very bad tooth infection a decade ago and got turned way from a dentist since I couldn’t pay a few grand up front. and the tooth infection was really bad.


  • HRT should just be sold off the counter or free without any gatekeeping. It just very frustrating especially since I like, I did have access to it before the doctor I saw left last year. And it was sudden to since I schedule an appointment late fall, and they just tell me that the doctor left and sent me a letter saying that they would give a referral! and when I finally get around to it this month, they don’t. like…

    im genuinely getting angry and want to yell at this place. Actually I am going to raise a mess with this place
