#i don't want to have to feel like an asshole for rescheduling bc it has to go through an individual person

literally why is apparently the entirety of the MRI scheduling dept at beth israel run by one woman who is evidently only available for half an hour in the early morning? why do you not just have a portal? why are you throwing shade at ME for the fact that it’s taking a long time to schedule an MRI? “please schedule asap and adjust your schedule, it’s very difficult to schedule an MRI” yeah lmao, i fucking noticed. it’s because you guys do it by having aforementioned one lady call at an undisclosed time. i am not always available to come to the phone! what is this assumption!

#i had already had one scheduled but there was a change in plans and i couldn't do it that day #it took like 2 fucking weeks because this lady calls only at like 8 in the morning during which time i am asleep #i genuinely don't understand why they can't have a portal to schedule this. why does it have to be difficult to schedule #also i feel like they are lowkey being mean about this. i'm not upset it's just annoying as fuck #the doctor is a personal friend of my aunt's and very good in his field and saw me on very short notice so i am grateful for that #but he's also. honestly very annoying. #he was not able to reach me at the first call and so texted my aunt to tell her to tell me to check my voicemail #boy just email me! #this whole system is not only a hassle for the patients and has major accessibility issues #it also seems like it creates way more work for the employees #portal would be best but email would already be easier #or at least have there be a choice #i was honestly ready to give up on this bc the problem in question had dissipated and the schedule process is just. so much #but we have money left in the fsa that will expire soon so #better now than next year probably? #also email etiquette for doctors is so fucking stressful #this really is a part of medicine that should be fully automated #i don't want to have to feel like an asshole for rescheduling bc it has to go through an individual person #and i don't want to have to worry about whether my tone in an email containing 1 item of information is rude #fucking abolish email ettiquette #i keep being hugely frustrated by the most pointless things #like at least in high school the things that i was annoyed about i was also righteously angry about #i guess i would rather these things be low-stakes but also #i handle annoyance so poorly #and there's nothing i can do about any of this bc it's fully pointless and arbitrary #no man or machine to rail against just. a bunch of pointless habits and customs which grate on me #i will drink some calming tea. everything that is annoying to me now will be resolved soon. nothing is long-term. #i will roll my boulder up the hill and imagine myself happy #who needs therapy when you have Talking about albert camus's the myth of sysiphus in tumblr tags
