Idiots

I spent all day yesterday on the phone with a bunch of "medical" idiots.  I am loosely calling them medical because I doubt either of them studied medicine.  My doctor decided I needed another colonoscopy when I saw him back in August.  I couldn't schedule the appointment then because my son was getting married and I had to wait until we returned and my husband could check his work schedule.

The two women I spoke with couldn't seem to comprehend that I needed to have the procedure as early as possible.  I told both of them several times I was a type 1 diabetic.  When talking on the phone to receptionists/secretaries I generally say type 1 because they don't know what juvenile onset diabetics are.  They had me scheduled at 10:30am.  They said that was early!!  I told them I get up at 6:30.

Then, to prep for the colonoscopy you're suppose to add a laxative to Gatorade.  Well I'm allergic to Gatorade... one of the wonderful things that has happened to me thanks to menopause.  She inhaled sharply before telling me I couldn't be allergic to it.  I told her I was and what could I use to mix the laxative?  Water? Juice?  She said she'd find something to send me and hung up.
