if doctors are so smart...

...why did she give me the phone number to a specialist's office on the east side when said specialist also has an office on the west side where i live (and where, incidentally, the primary doctor's office is)?

ok, the number was probably supplied by the nurse, but still. imagine my surprised frustration when i called the office to schedule an appointment, only to find out that the first opening is in january.

WHAT!?

i thought this was supposed to be kind of an urgent matter?

oh, the doctor's only at that office 2 days a MONTH.

"yes, please give me the number to the west side office."

bug sees the neurologist on 11/2.
