Dentist Today

I went to the Dentist on Saturday last week because the pain in my tooth was so unbearable and they wouldn't see me without a medical release.  So I had to wait until Monday, got it, they saw me, did a partial root canal (they didn't have to do a full one because he got the decay and it wasn't near the soft tissue so no need to finish) and filled the tooth and I made an appointment for Tuesday.

Yesterday I go in and he fills in my broken tooth on the bottom but same side of the mouth as Monday.  No problem, made an appointment for today.

Today comes, I go in and I wait for 30 min in the waiting room and Nurse Ratchet calls Mr. McDonald.  Normally they just say my first name.  So I go in, she doesn't let me sit down yet, she asks why I'm here, I tell her root canal and I point at my top left tooth.  She says there is no authorization for a root canal.  She looks at my papers and says we don't even have your doctors authorization.  I said look some more.  She looks and finds it.

She pushes the button on the chair to lower it so I can sit down and she says Mr. McDonald you were here at 10am, can I ask why you were here so early?  And I said uh, that's my appointment time.  She says well the doctor isn't even scheduled to be here until 11am.  What the hell does she expect me to do?  I don't know their dentists schedules.  They didn't email me with his full schedule lol.

Then the white devil, yes, that's what she is, the white devil, starts setting everything up being her bitchy cheerful self.  She tells me well he won't be here for another half hour what would you like to do?  What the hell is she asking me?  They normally sit you in the chair and keep you waiting for an hour anyway so uh hello?  Just leave me here and go run over some puppies, I don't give a crap.  Do what you normally do.  She continues setting me up and she goes to put the paper on my chest, the bib if you will.  But instead of clipping that chain with roach clips (yes, I said roach clips) she tucks it into my shirt at which point 1 eyebrow raises and I look from side to side and she starts giggling from my facial expression.  She informs me they don't have any clips.

So 11 comes and the dentist comes in and he's arguing with her about what I'm here for today and he comes to me and tells me he is out of gloves and that I can either wait until 3pm or come back this evening because he doesn't know when they are coming in.  Excuse me?  3pm?  I'm not going to sit there with Ms. Sunshine for 4 more hours.  No, I'll reschedule.

So I go back on Friday.
