stanford sucks :(

going to these famous doctors really hasn't been the greatest experience. the earliest appointment i could get with the second doctor (he's the orthopedic doctor for the niners) for the second opinion (uh, i guess it's actually a third doctor for a third opinion, but i'll just refer to them as my first & second doctor in this post.) is july 12! that's with my dr. office calling them first to try to help me to get an earlier appt. and it's in redwood city. so far away.

so i had to call back my first doctor to make an appt for the week after the second opinion with the second doctor. except when i called them, i didn't even tell them i needed to make an appt in july. i just said i needed to make an appt, and the lady said the first appt available is july 25!

WHAT.THE.HECK.

SO FRUSTRATING.

man, i get two extremes. the private practice with the doctor who messed up my knee and wouldn't listen to me, but was much easier to get appointments with and who actually saw me at every appointment, vs. the famous, mass production doctors who don't give you the time of day unless you are jerry rice, impossible to get appointments, but supposedly knows what they're doing. why can't i find a happy medium? why can't i find an orthopedic doctor who knows what he's doing AND will listen to me AND i can get an appointment with within a reasonable amount of time? is that really too much to ask? somehow, i was able to find that for my toe surgery and my left acl knee surgery.

sigh.

trying to keep an eternal perspective on this.
