So, at my virtual appointment on Friday, the nurse changed my ultrasound for vascular surgery on my lower limbs. It was changed to 8 o’clock in the morning this Friday. That obviously isn’t going to work for me!!!
I called today hoping that I could get another appointment close to the one that I had already scheduled. I scheduled it for May at 2:30. The automated system does not understand ‘vascular surgery’ so I just said ‘Internal Medicine,’ and then I spoke with Omar who transferred me to vascular surgery.
I was completely taken back when this woman answered the phone stating that it was something that sounded way more important than what I needed! I finally just asked her. I need an ultrasound at the Fairlane clinic? Is that you? She said it was and then I told her who I was.
I told her that I needed an appointment after May 20 and the latest appointment available. She told me it was May 22 at 4 o’clock.
Sweeeeet!!! I was super irritated when she canceled the appointment I made back in March. That appointment was at 2:30 in the afternoon and this appointment is the same day at 4 in the afternoon. I won’t have to wake up as early would have! I would have done it though!
