What a Cluster!

As you recall, my dental appointment at the FREE clinic was scheduled for yesterday. The appt. was for 1:15 and I left the house at 11:40 and got there at 1:10. I get to the door of where I was suppose to fill out paperwork and there was a sign that said CLOSED FOR THE DAY. Are you kidding me??? I was pissed. I walked over to another area where 3 women were to ask what was going on. Not ONE of those 3 women asked if they could help me and I stood there for 5 minutes. Now I'm fuming. I went back to the front of the building to the receptionist and asked her where the lady was that was suppose to take my paperwork. She said the lady was gone for the day and I said, "You mean I drove 1 1/2 to get here and she couldn't have called me?" About that time, 'the lady' walked through the front doors and the receptionist said, "That's her." I walked up to her and she could hardly speak and she said she had 'forgotten' our appointment. I told her I didn't care what her problem was but we were going to do the paperwork. We went to her office and I managed to be approved. I said now where do I go for the exam and x-ray. She said in the building across the parking lot. I get there and have to fill out more paperwork and was told that instead of it costing me $91.25 (with the discount), it would be $108.25. I see the dentist and she says it looks like I have pre-cancer cells in my mouth on the left side of my cheek. Then says, "It looks like you need all 10 teeth pulled." I said, "No sh*t." Then she says, "After we pull all 10 teeth, you'll have to wait for 8 weeks before we take an impression and then another week before you'll have your false plate." Are you kidding me????? Then she hands me what it will cost $1,356.75; in advance of the procedure. $75 for each tooth and $606.75 for the plate. Not to mention the additional 2 more 3- hour round trips to get there. So much for a DISCOUNT. I was fuming all the way home; which was 4:00. So in essence, the whole day sucked.
