Friday on my mind

this past Friday mom had to see the doctor.. So we go down to the new digs and to be honest this might be a hard thing for some people to read and agree with, in fact I find it hard to believe.. We get down there, mom has a fractured butt .. maybe.. She fell hard on it New years day morning.. We get there, I get a wheel chair and get her wheeled into admitting or checking in or whatever it is.. I get the car parked and get in there.. First thing you notice going in there is, this was a chilly day and mom is cold in July so.. We get in there, she checks in.. My sister in-law is there as well, adding to the emotion and confusion.. But she means well.. i get her wheeled to the doctors section down the hall or whatever you call it.. i call it a waste of money but that is just me.. bad attitude, me??  what???   we get her checked in at the doctors section there.. They give you a buzzer thing, it buzzes and you go there and a nurse gets you wheeled into the exam room.. What adds to  a bit of confusion is Lucy tells the nurse mom is really hurting, she took a nasty fall the other day.. sadly this is true, sort of.. .. the nurse then checks you in and asks what we are there for.. oh nothing really.. Just a severe ass breakage or not.. Hard to say really.. So she leaves and the doctor will be right in.. Lucy serves coffee and goodies at a shop there in the hospital and she takes her lunch break and comes into the exam room and talks to mom while we wait for the doctor.. All i could think was thankfully Lucy told them at the nursing station that mom was really hurting, a half an hour later the doctor comes in, but not before I opened the examination room door.. I hated it at the old place where they shut the door and forgot about us last time.. i swore the next time we were there I wouldn't wait for 45 minutes to open the door and then start talking about the medical staff like they had gone on holiday..   So this time I waited 30 minutes, went and opened the door and started talking like they were back on holiday or whatever.. He showed up shortly.. i hate being an asshole but I feel like they feel our time isn't important.. So he exams her and then sends her to radiology for an ex-ray... Friends I gotta tell you, the doctor said just go around the corner, he did say ex-ray, not Radiology which I put the two together because that is the first room you see as you come in the hospital..

And so I wheel her there.. What isn't so great about that room.. Well it's like this.. It couldn't be colder unless it was outside.. Let me explain about the doors to the hospital.. They cut corners on the entry way.. You go in the front doors and ten feet there is a second set of doors.. What that is great about is.. well it gives you a slight warm up before you get in the main building.. .. And that isn't noticeable until.. Until you are in the radiology waiting room.. Yep, chilly.. i couldn't complain, I like cool weather, they could move the room outside and I would be alright with it.. So we wait and wait.. after thirty minutes of waiting I go back to the doctors office and ask the nurses to ding the doctor about getting the ex-ray guys to get mom in there.. They tell me she needs to get relogged in, checked in for that.. Really??  thanks for telling us that.. she gets logged in and we go back to Radiology, they get her in and then everything gets done..

 I   Was.. PISSED OFF TO THE MAXIMUM...  But it was probably my fault.. I went into this place and forgot we were still in the same town that had the worst reputation for giving a fuck in the entire state (we do things different here is their motto)... And I forgot that.. I forgot this is the same exact staff of nurses, doctors.. monkeytards..  So it was my fault.. I honestly thought they would be better.. And they are better.. For one thing they don't shit on the walls like they did at the old place..   Never mind.. My attitude sucked.. I will be better the next time..  I hope.. Or get tossed in jail..
