So I've been on antibiotics for 10 days now to treat a sinus infection that was apparently present on an MRI which was done for a completely unrelated issue. I have been a good little patient and taken my antibiotics despite not really feeling any different/better from them. On Sunday, I started feeling pukey, but being the good patient, I have persevered and taken my antibiotics twice daily as instructed. I am now covered in hives. So, being a good patient, I call my GP to try and schedule an appointment to discuss said hideous rash and see if discontinuing the antibiotics is the appropriate course of action. Yeah...not so much...she can't see me until April 6th. Hmm, I wonder if I'll still have hives on April 6th?? I laugh at the scheduler, she gets mad, hangs up on me, fine whatever. I then decide to call the ENT doc's office to get advice, since he prescribed the evil stomach gnashing, rash causing toxin in the first place. I call at 8:10, I get an answering service and the lady talks to me like a retarded child because the office doesn't open until 8:00 and my problem is not an emergency. "I know it isn't, I called after 8:00" I say. "Well ma'am I don't know what to tell you, they did not answer their phone and I cannot help you". Kiss my butt doctors!! And for Tim and Susanne I will add--I AM A PROFESSIONAL DAMMIT AND THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!
