Monday I have an appointment with an ENT doc because I've been having nose bleeds off and on for the last week. Just getting an appointment was a nightmare. What really frosted my wonkas (wonkas are located between Willie and the chocolate factory) was the registration form. First they texted me a link to the form. Entered the link into my computer web browser. Doesn't work because I have to access it through the hot link in the text. These forms are more invasive than than needed.
Fine. Fill out the usual name address phone stuff. Wait it already had my name okay. If my name was already filled in, why wasn't the phone number? They used it to text me.
They wanted my gender. Sorry, I have a sex. Then they wanted a list of my meds. Okay but at 528.5 dog years old, it's quite a list. So they say type in the first 3 letters of a med then choose from a pull down list. No--I would have typed in the complete name but I'm not going on a scavenger hunt for the names. They get a list Monday.
Emergency Contact, okay put my wife down...now they want to know her relationship...what does that matter? The correct relationship is designated emergency contact.
Next they wanted family history...Has nothing to do with my nose but if they want it they can ask my parents who are buried in Kansas City.
Race? What does that matter? Are different races having different noses, medically speaking? It's for government tracking. F-em
If you skip a question, it won't let you continue. Finally down to psyc section. Damn, no selection for angry.
Almost all the questions have predetermined acceptable answers in pull down menus.
Almost done, in a blazingly fast 23 minutes.
Finally done, they want me to rate the experience. Poor is generous.
Before you can leave a page for some medicine or procedure comes up and when you try to skip it, it says are you sure? Yes! then another page shilling something else comes up. I just restarted the phone. F-em.
