My laugh for the day

I'm not feeling well as you can tell from my recent posts, but I did get a huge laugh from one of the comments to yesterday's post.  Normally when I get ignorant and rude comments I delete them as soon as I see them and was going to delete this one, but somehow it struck me as funny and I wanted to share it with anyone who reads the comments.   Just this once it's funny, but if this joker enters another ridiculous comment like this one I will start moderating the comments before they are published.

I've had a difficult day with the UCD Med system today.  I tried to get an appointment with a specialist I saw a few years back.  I got a response from one of the nurses in her office, and traded a few emails with them; then this morning I heard directly from the doctor who gave me the phone # to make an appointment.  When I called, the person who makes appointments insisted I needed to have my primary doctor give a referral.  I said my primary has resigned and now I have no doctor, but the scheduler kept insisting I needed a referral.  I wrote to the doctor that I was just going to deal with my problem on my own and that I decided not to see a doctor.

It seems the rules over-ride common sense and sensitivity to the patient.  I don't need that at all.

This morning after breakfast and several cups of coffee, and checking emails, reading new blogs, etc., I headed over to Mather Field and walked.  I only walked 20 minutes on a loop I consider to be a mile, and then headed back home.  I've been so inactive since I came back from NY that I didn't want to push myself too hard the first time out in weeks.  Next time I'll try to walk the loop twice, for 2 miles.  I'd like to do that tomorrow - maybe walk at least 4 days out of the week.  I sure felt a lot better after today's walk.

  2. That weird "comment" is spam, trying to get people to click in his link. I'd delete it if it popped up in my comments. I've had similar things happen,and I just delete them. Don't put on that moderating stuff - it's a pain in the neck.

    You seem to be feeling a bit better. Except for the doctor thing - we need a general doctor to refer us to all the rest - one more stop for us, and one more co-pay. Talk about a pain in the neck. AND - the general doctors don't do anything anymore - just interpret test results and make referrals. I wish I had a good ole GP like in the olden days. LOL

  5. Guess he targeted only the women as I also got it. I started maybe he got the shaft because he isn't a very nice person. I deleted it too didn't bother to try to open his nonsense.

    This referral thing has gotten to be a pain I was told I didn't need one but when I went for the ECO they said no one got a referral.?? The Ins. passed it and I was on my way.

  9. I think it must be an exhaustive list. I got it and just went in and deleted it. Having all the comments come in my email is too much for me. I read the first two lines and didn't read the rest so I don't know if it was good for a laugh or not. The one thing blogger does really well for me "usually" is to put all the anonymous comments directly into spam. I guess it thought this must be legit since it was so long.
