Yesterday went better than it could have gone. My wife had an ophthalmologist appointment in the morning, the doctors office being near my work office, so she came in to work with me. That meant getting her out of bed at 4:30 am as well. Normally the cats do quite well at waking her up and getting her up some time after I leave for work but this was getting up with me and on the road. We got out the door on time and had a normal enough drive to work.
The appointment itself was at 8:30 and we got to the doctors by 8 and went inside at 8:15. It was then we found out that they had been trying to contact us. We changed our phone line a few months back and we contacted all of my wife's doctors to tell them the new number. Despite this they still tried to call the old number. When that didn't work they sent a letter, which actually turned up later that day, after the appointment. Anyway, the point is they wanted to move the appointment to the afternoon since my wife's doctor would not be there until then. We didn't want to hang around until later that day so they got her to see a different doctor that morning and we got out on time.
The point of this all. They could have been a lot more organised. After being told of the new phone number they didn't use it or seem to have a record of it. Then when they sent the letter they didn't send it in time or fast enough. It can't be that hard to make sure appointments moving is notified to the actual patients. It has happened before with them where they rescheduled an appointment and didn't even tell us. It is kind of frustrating that what should be the simple side of medical practices is what is messed up the most. Get your shit together people.
In other more happier news, this trailer for Uncharted 3 makes me a happy geek. Can't wait for it to turn up. The last one was soooo good they had better try and top it.
