[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have been having lots of stomach issues and have had difficulty functioning these past few weeks.  Had to wait a few months to get in to see a doctor in town.  After dropping my son off at daycare, and pulling over because I was dizzy on the way over, I arrived at my appointment 10 minutes late.  The receptionist loudly and rudely told me that the doctor would not see me because I was late.  I started to tear up  (this has been a particularly craptastic year for me and I'm getting emotional on the ready) and asked if I could talk to the doctor directly, and explained why I was late.  She told me that it wouldn't change anything so why bother but go ahead and to take a seat.  The office manager pulls me back into her office and reiterates the secretary's rude message, with no compassion when I explain my symptoms.  She then asks when I want to reschedule an appointment.  I rip up the intake form and said I would never come back.  So yeah, I know it was my fault for arriving late, and I get it.......but I still am upset for being treated so rudely.  [/quote]

A-fucking-men, sister!  Never mind that the doctor will keep your ass waiting FOREVER with no explanation and not apologies, but heaven forbid you arrive late.

Might I suggest (unless you were seeing a specialist) that you just go to an urgent care?  Or you might try the practice of Drs. Michael and Kerri Gray in Bethesda.  They are both family practice/internists but they don't take patients and operate first come first served.  If you can get there early in the morning you usually don't have to wait too long.

I just don't even bother going to my old GP anymore for the same reasons you are ranting about - long waits, rude staff, inane policies, etc etc etc.  [/quote]
