Well let me start with this thing that made me go hmmmmm

The other day I set out to find a new doctor because I was unhappy with my current doctor. A coworker gave me the name of his doctor because he very much liked him. I called them to ask if they were accepting new patients and was immediately told no.

After hanging up I said hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Why did they not even ask me if I had insurance, where I worked etc.. just an automatic no.

So I called back. When I called back I informed the lady that I had just called and asked if they were accepting patients and was told that they were not.

I said " since you are not accepting patients at this time and since a coworker of mine at (my place of employment) referred me to doctor (-----) because he like him so much, I was wondering if you had a waiting list that my husband and I could be put on so that when you are accepting patients we can possibly become patients of doctor (------)."

Well , well, well much to my surprise the attitude changed immediately. The lady said "oh you have a referral from a coworker at(my place of employment) ?" "May I ask who referred you?"

After telling her who referred me and where I worked low and behold not only were accepted as patients immediately but I had an appointment that week.


my hmmm for the day "It's all about the money honey"


Once they knew WHERE I worked, Once they knew that I made good money and had great insurance it was ok to accept me as a patient.
