Do you all remember earlier in this year when I had to see a clinic doctor because I was starting to get shingles again? Right- it was bad.
So yesterday I started feeling the all-too-familiar twinge of an imminent urinary tract infection. I used to get them a lot, years ago, but haven't had one in a very long time. Still, that feeling isn't one that you easily forget.
Sadly, my NP only works on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and it turned out that my OB/GYN had decided that this week would be just perfect for her vacation. How lovely for her.
So I drove down to the clinic again because it was the only place where I knew I wouldn't need an appointment and I was NOT going to wait another night to get meds for this.
And can you guess what happened next? That's right- I got the same fucking doctor.
This time, I thought I should mention that I might be very newly pregnant just in case it would make a difference to what medication he'd prescribe. He looked at my chart and told me that the nurse had run a pregnancy test ( I told her NOT to), and that I wasn't. I told him that there's no way it would have shown up in a pee test because it would be that early. I am not one or two days past my period, I am one or two days past likely OVULATION. There's no pee test in the WORLD that would pick that up. I just want to be on the safe side.
He literally huffed and ROLLED HIS EYES at me.
Excuse me, motherfucker? Isn't this MY BODY we're talking about? Gosh- I'm SO sorry that I caused you to think for a couple more seconds before writing my prescription. I'm sure that was very taxing for you. Oh and one more thing? FUCK YOU AND YOUR SCHLUMPY SHOES.
So I got to the pharmacy and, after having both prescriptions filled, I briefly explained to the pharmacist what was going on and asked if the drugs were safe. He told me that the antibiotics were totally fine, but that I should try not to take the other because it can cross over to a fetus.
Yeah. You heard right. Not only did he roll his fucking eyes at me, but he then went ahead and totally ignored me.
So what do you all think I should do? Should I find some way to complain, or should I just drive over in a ski mask and kneecap him?
