Really rude receptionnist...

Ugh - this is why I hate OB offices (in my area). I swear they are so lazy about stuff like this and it's irritating to me. So I'm 10w2d currently, and I called the office the day before yesterday to speak with the receptionnist about scheduling my NT scan and my bloodwork as well. This bloodwork thing is all new to me anyway because I couldn't get it when pregnant with the twins - well I could have, but my doc explained without amnio they wouldn't know which twin.

I explained to the receptionnist that I have two small children at home and work full time, so I really needed to get something on my calendar for both the b/w date and the NT scan, especially since I want DH to be there and he's only available certian days a week (I didn't tell her that). She acted really annoyed with me and said "your doctor will discuss scheduling with you next week at your OB appt." I'm like huh? at that point i'll be over 11 weeks. so they are going to have to fit me in within the next week to get decent results, and there's no way i can change my work schedule on the drop of a dime like that. i'm going to call and leave a msg for the nurse and explain my situation. hopefully she's a bit nicer. vent over! thanks for listening

Yeah that's crazy. She can preschedule. I've never understood why some receptionists at doctors offices are so nasty? Not every patient is a PITA.

i know! the nurse was super nice - i just called and she was like "can you come in today?" haha - now see? was it that hard receptionnist-lady?

I always get frustrated by how they assume your life just revolves around their schedules.  Um, I work, have kids, etc. so no, I can't just come in when it's best for the doc or the tech, I need it to work into my schedule as well.

I'm glad calling the nurse worked, I find that works best for me too.

I had issues scheduling mine too! My RE's nurse argues with me that I was only 9 weeks when I was definitely 11 weeks! J didn't get mine done till 13 weeks 5 days, the day before the cut off day. Ugh. At least you got in, that's what matters. That receptionist needs to chill.
