Goddarned doctors and American medical care...

Dammit it shouldn't take 4 phone calls and an hour and a half on hold just to make an appointment for immunizations. And where the hell are my damned medical records??? Why won't anyone tell me when my last immunizations were??? I know I've provided all the necessary information for my new doc to sync with my old doc but he has no records of mine. Even BCBS won't give me that information over the phone (I need to request it in writing...goddamned HIPAA!!!)

BTW, I need Hep A and Typhoid immunizations for India.

A "money under the table gets you anything you want" doctor.

Dammit I made an appointment with a new doc and when I came in they said they didn't have the vaccines in stock! WTF??? So I wasted 2 hours today driving around to different clinics trying to get some needles stuck in me. Finally I went by the county health clinic (the one where poor people go) and they sent me to the passport health office, which today of ALL DAYS was CLOSED FOR NO REASON!!!! :|:|:|:|:|

I give up. I'll just buy a plane ticket to Toronto, use my old expired OHIP card (or whatever its called now) and get some DAMNED SHOTS!
