Dear (insert name of doctor),
I picked you specifically because you offer Saturday hours. Because, as I learned the hard way, the one day you want traffic to flow when you’re on your way to an appointment is the day it DOESN’T. That’s OK. It wasn’t serious, anyway, what I was worried about. I’ll wait and see.
Seriously, you say you take patients on weekends, but you refuse to do the first-patient visit on anything other than a weekday? You suck.
Kisses,
Dawn

I feel you, but there is usually a reason for this. Doctors generally feel the need to do a lenghty history on a 1st time patient. Since any doc that does offer Saturday hours usually limits them, it makes little sense time-wise and fiscally to schedule a new patient on a Saturday.
Just a thought.

You know…I fuckin’ hate that shit.
This one dr. my insurance company assigned me was ass like that.
Her rude receptionist informed me that I would have to wait 2-3 weeks for an appt. and then would only get to see a nurse practitioner. WELL FUCK ME RUNNING.
I called up blue cross blue shield and told them this was bs and could I get a discount for seeing a non-md on my copay.
That went over like a fart in a spacesuit.
Good thing I didn’t wait….I wound up having a 2 ft long blood clot in my leg. Could have turned into dvt….who knows.
Hate that shit with dr’s offices….
