New doctor and 1,000 new forms to fill out.

[scho63]

Thursday I have 3 separate doctor appointments and one is a new cardiologist.

They sent me the forms via email to fill out and there were 8 in total with some being 4-5 pages.

WTF? I'm not applying for a mortgage!

Why can't the medical profession create a universal form with the same 95% they all want?

This is the 2nd time in 3 months I'm filling out all the same shit. Last year in the hospital I think I filled out enough forms to create "War and Peace".

Am I just a cranky old man or does everything get pissed doing the same shit over and over?


Man it's so repetitive.

Gotta keep the doctors working!

Plus I'm too old and slow to catch Syphilis. Ubeja Vontell told me it runs a 4.06 40 yd dash.

She is a doctor and her colleagues and dentist friend seem to concur, but who knows.

I told her, well then you have yourself a great day there miss charisma, and left.

I drove down the street a couple blocks and went into the Albertsons Pharmacy and reluctantly asked, do you guys have any flu shots? The dude says, yes. He asked if I had ever had the shingles shots and I told him no. I ended up getting the flu shot in the right arm and the shingles shot in the left.

The flu arm feels fine, 100%, the shingles arm feels like it took a round house kick. I mean it's not the end of the world bad, but it's definitely there and from what I hear about shingles, it's a small price to pay. I have to go in for the 2nd shingles shot at the end of December.

Coworker of mine had shingles last year... did not sound fun or pleasant in the least

I got my second round last Friday. It kicked my ass Saturday. I felt fatigued, a slight headache, light headed, like walking around in a fog and had the chills. I took a couple of Tylenol and by that night I was coming around. By Sunday I was 100%, other than my arm being a little sore. The first shot kicked my ass for two days. A little short term discomfort to avoid the shingles, is definitely worth it in my book.

You gave enough of a shit to open the thread and post in it. The title should have warned you away from your disinterest yet here you are.

Do you know how many doctors I see in a 3 month period.

Chalk up period to you chart and get on with it.

I guess I wouldn't mind filling them out (it's really not all that often really) but it never fails to amaze me that as I scroll past all the questions asking about my last period, am I pregnant, yada yada, and answer all the legitimate questions that pertain to me, that when I do get in to see the doc, the nurse comes in with a tablet and asks me all the same questions again. Why did you waste my time out in the lobby? I was interested in reading the Time magazine that was on the coffee table - apparently, the US is planning on boycotting the 1984 Olyinpics.

I just went through the whole "new doctor" process and fortunately, I was able to do all of their stuff online prior to my visit. Made things a whole lot easier.
