Uggg... Im Getting Annoyed.... Rant

**RANT WARNING** haha

I am starting to feel used for my insurance plan.... First was my sleep study, my BMI was high enough that I did NOT need any extra factors for insurance, yet I still had to do two nights there. Ok not the end of the world, but now I cannot understand the logic for my EGD tomorrow... My appointment time is 12:00pm but I need to be there by 8:00am. They said I should be able to get in around 10ish but not guaranteed. So why should I need to spend 4 hrs in a waiting lobby for a 10 min procedure??? Now the real fun part, asking a buddy to take off some time from his job to give me rides.... "Hey Bud can I get a ride between the hours of 6:00am and 1:00pm" totally destroys my day and extremely inconveniences a friend for a 5-10 min procedure...

Whew, I feel better... Until I blow-up on the lady that asks for my $300 dollars for the EGD tomorrow...

Wow that's ridiculous, did they say why they wanted you to come in so early?

Believe that I went in at least three hours before my EGD and it was time well spent. I had several pre-testing/op interviews by anesthesia, nurses and someone else. Also I was in recovery for at least an hour or two after the test.

Crossed fingers that you get in early!

Yea, the time went by really fast for me. I think mine was scheduled for 11:30 and I was there for 8am.

No food or Water from 12am until after the EGD too.

But once at the hospital, I felt really welcomed and taken care of, I hope yours is the same.

After the procedure, you will thank your lucky stars for the ride home. I was ok, physically, but thinking or making important decisions was a bust. I scheduled a phone interview for right after the procedure, and I was a complete air head! Thinking gave me an instant and sharp headache.
