ok so i have always went to the local "low income" clinic to get my annual and my birth control, because i really can't afford any of the fancy doctors around here.
i have no idea what to do at this point.
when i got my last set of birth control, i didn't get the full year all at once, because they wanted to monitor my blood pressure every three months. fine by me, even though taking offa work to sit in the clinic w/screaming kiddos all day isn't my idea of a lovely afternoon. i was told when i opened my last pack, to call them to schedule my annual.
this is the same thing i've had to do every year, so it was no biggie...or so i thought. recently the clinic had to cut back on when they're open. used to be open every workday, normal hours. now, for whatever reason, they're only open on tuesday and thursday, by appointment only. i've tried to call early before and they won't even let me make an appointment "because we don't have our schedule made up further yet". so i couldn't call early to set this up.
so i called WHEN THEY FREAKING TOLD ME TO CALL...and was promptly told (not in these words but might as well have been) to piss off and try again in two months. they should at least have offered to get me a set date in march. my current pack i've only taken 3 pills out of the 28. i will definitely run out before they get their heads out of their arses.
i'm married, and cannot afford another child. also cannot really afford to go to a "real" doctor, rather than go to the clinic. the clinic can set me up on women's medicaid based on my crappy income, and the whole visit and a year worth of bc pills is free. i called around my town out of desperation and i'm lookin at 200-300 just for the office visit.
sorry everyone...just needed to vent. this is also the same clinic where, once when i was getting my annual done, another worker besides the gyn came in there and was having a conversation while my stuff was exposed. (this other worker just happened to be the mother of a coworker of mine, which made it all the more awkward). i just have no options, and i'm frustrated. everything is falling onto me and my hubby ever since his grandpa (we live w/his grandparents and help take care of them) passed last thursday. he had a tumor that burst suddenly (he was "fine" the 8th, dead by the 12th) and now we are taking care of the house, his grandma, organizing her bills, doing everything for everyone basically....
i guess this bs with the clinic was the straw that broke the camels back for me. that and the same day i called the clinic...i tried to get my son's RX filled and his CHIP insurance says "no more refills" and the pharmacy is trying to fill it anyway for 60 bucks. if i had 60 bucks i could just have him a regular doctor and not have him on CHIP.
