Hello Wednesday! At 8:50 this morning I finished my 3rd day of the semester and this math professor of mine is going to be...interesting. I hope I can grasp it. I pray I can.
Only five more hours of work until my day off. I'm excited! Just had to share that. :]
So at work we had this lady, we call her the haggard lady...you'll see why. Anyways, she came in and got an exam from Dr. Shosted, our newest doctor, and got gas permeable contacts. Which, to say the least, are hard to fit on people. The way it works is gas perms are a hard contact. And each contact is specially measured and made specifically for one person. They do not make gas perms in bulk and keep 'em in a shop. They each have to be special ordered from a specialty lab and fitted to a person. Well practically every time they are going to have to be remade because it doesn't fit the eye ideally. Whether it be the curvature of the lens is too flat, too steep, the contact isn't wide enough or it's too wide. Stuff like that. So contact lens follow up appointments are absolutely crucial!
Well the haggard lady got the exam, ordered the contacts, tried them but NEVER got back to us to schedule a contact lens follow up. And she picked them up over a month ago. Well her Mom calls me and says how she can't see out of the contacts and blah blah blah. Anyways, we schedule a contact lens follow up. The day of she cancels because of something stupid. She calls again a couple days later and schedules another appointment with Dr. Shosted, who only comes in on Wednesdays. So the haggard lady calls me about 15 minutes before her appointment.
Our phone conversation involved her screaming at me about how incompetent Dr. Shosted is and how she's NEVER had problems before. She also complained about Dr. Shosted not doing what's called a "Phorias" on her, which tests the muscles in your eyes. But she thought that measured the astigmatism...which it doesn't. So she demanded seeing the other doctor, Dr. Peirce, and told me she didn't want to see Dr. Shosted at all. And so I told her that if she wanted to see a different doctor it would cost her $110, the cost of a new gas permeable contact lens appointment. She flipped out at me. Saying how she was going to sue the company for an incompetent doctor and blah blah blah.
Okay. So if you go to the doctor for a cold. The cold medicine doesn't work and you want to see a different doctor you're going to have to pay another copay, correct?! This is the EXACT same thing. Dr. Peirce and Dr. Shosted are in no way affiliated, with the exception of working for JCPenney part time. If you want to see Dr. Peirce you're going to have to pay. End of story. I will NOT order contacts until you pay. You will get a bill and if you don't respond it will go to collections. I don't think that anyone would want that.
Anyways, she still was throwing a fit. And so she says to just make her an appointment with Dr. Peirce on Saturday at 4. So I do. And SHE CANCELS IT 20 minutes before!! Then makes another appointment for Tuesday, January 12th at 5:00 PM. Which she shows up to. And thankfully Nancy was there because I wouldn't have been so nice to her. Haha. Anyways she goes in and her Dad just brings us into their family drama. Which is none of my business. I don't care...OH AND she steals my lighter that I let her "borrow" WTH woman?! Anyways, Dr. Peirce decides not to charge her. Which is fine, but I can't tell her ahead of time because that's Dr. Peirce's choice, not mine. So she leaves. And as we're looking at the two charts, one from Dr. Shosted and the new one from Dr. Peirce, things just weren't adding up. Dr. Shosted did a PERFECT eyeglass prescription, so it doesn't make sense that the contacts are working SO horribly. If anything the fit should be bad, not the ability to see out of them. So we decide to put the contact on the lensometer to check the prescription. And guess what, oh but before I tell you the real kicker of the story she also lost her "left contact". So okay after looking at the prescription we find that SHE switched the lenses. Put the right contact in her left eye and put the left contact in her right eye. THAT'S WHY YOU COULDN'T SEE MORON! Because YOU didn't pay attention to the identification dot on the RIGHT lens SWITCHED the lenses and tried to blame everything on Dr. Shosted.
So in all reality, she switched the lenses. Lost the RIGHT lens and now we're going to change the curvature of the lens and order a new RIGHT lens and she has to pay for it.
BAH!
The thing of it is, this woman and her mother have been wacky, old haggard, ornery, crack heads. That have been no less than a pain in our butts. Goodness gracious. I hope that these two ladies are the most psycho I have to deal with. For real.
Other than the old haggard lady, things are going well. For the most part. Boy junk has been on my mind a lot lately. And that's driving me insane. I hate looking the mirror...hopefully we can change that this year though. :]]
I had a funny stor....OH! I remember. Yesterday was the first day for my English 1010 class, and there were these two asian ladies and as the professor was calling role and she called the name "Hannah" which was one of these two asian ladies...then immediately after the professor called out "Bing Bing" which was the other asian lady. And well Hannah leaned over to Bing Bing and said "That's funny" And laughed! And I could not help but laugh! Just because your name is "Hannah", which I don't think is your real name young lady, and Bing Bing doesn't go by some fake american name like, Denise or something, doesn't give you the right to LAUGH at her! Haha. I cracked up. I think that's the funniest thing ever! :]
Loves loves!
