(as distinct from visits to doctors)
Today, I went up to my GP's office to get the referral form so my insurance company will pay for the orthopedist visit. After making me wait almost a week, they handed me a referral to the wrong doctor, someone with a vaguely similar name, but who I'd never heard of and doesn't even practice in the same county as the person I have an appointment with. So I got to wait around while they redid it, and womanfully refrained from asking why, if they could get it done in 15 minutes today, I couldn't have had it Monday or Tuesday.
The good news is that I have my paperwork, I have a few nice black plums and a loaf of challah, and I had a nice cup of chocolate gelato before taking the bus home.
