The name of the Dr. staring in the the funny-ness is purely intended for comedic purposes. Not a name that I know of. In fact it goes back to the days of video arcades and putting you names on the wall of fame. Oh those days....quarters....video games....where was I? On with the post.
I began to make calls after 10 in the morning. Most Dr. offices open around 9. Had my cell phone and a notebook handy. I was taking this seriously.
"Good Morning, Dr. I.P. Freely's office, how can I help you?"
"Good Morning," I retorted cheerfully, "Dr. I.P. Freely saw me at questionable hospital yesterday and I was called to make a follow up appointment."
"Dr. I.P. Freely saw you at questionable hospital?"
"Yes he was the bone Dr. on call in the E.R."
"And questionable hospital told you to call? What is he nature of your injury?"
"Well I injured my knee yesterday and had to go to the E.R. They told me to follow up with Dr. I.P. Freely."
"Dr. I.P. Freely is a hand doctor."
Thus begat the confusion. The young lady was pleasant enough to me over the phone. She gave me 3 numbers of bone doctors to try. I thanked her and wished her a good day.
Number 1: The number you have reached is.....Huh?
Yup first doctor and his office number was disconnected. Daunted but undeterred I sallied forth.
Number 2: Very, very, very bored girl answered the phone. In fact I felt terrible for disturbing her with the phone call and almost apologized. I explained my situation. She asked for my insurance information. She then told me they would call me back to see if they took my insurance.
I'm still waiting for them to call me back.
Number 3: A very bright and cheerful office assistant took my call. No they didn't take my insurance. They could fit me in next Tuesday. The cost would be $250 up front.
She also advised me to call questionable hospital and make have them help find be a bone Dr. Since it was their responsibility.
I was done with Dr.s for that day.
