Yesterday I received a voicemail from a booking clerk at a doctor's office. This doctor obviously works in a clinic with several doctors, because I am not even 100% on which doctor I am supposed to be seeing.
I've got three referrals on the go (that I am aware of), so I don't always know which doctor's office is calling.
I called the number back and reached a voicemail that mentioned two doctors, but not the initial name in the voicemail that was left on my phone. (This is actually pretty common. Calling from, say, Dr. Harrison's office and actually seeing Dr. Szott for example).
Anyways, so I left my message in response to their message, and waited to hear back.
When did I hear back?
While I was in the dentist's chair .. :S
So, with water all over my face, a bib and a towel on my chest, and gritty polish all over my teeth and in my mouth, I answered the phone. (I had mentioned to the hygienist that I was waiting an important phone call)...
After writing down the date of my upcoming appointment, I had to ask her what kind of doctor I was going to be seeing....
She wasn't rude or anything, but when she answered, the tone in her voice was similar to that of: "you seriously don't even know who you're seeing?"
Nope. I'm not sure. Sorry! I get THAT many phone calls from doctor's offices and I have THAT many referrals that I actually have to ask which appointment this is for.
Turns out, this is a consultation to get the process going regarding scheduling surgery. Yay!! (Well, sort of yay).
Although, when I go, the receptionist may be wondering where my weird lisp went ...
