That's it. I'm going to the doctor. Are you happy now god? (notice how I put a lower-case g there?)

I've been sick for the past week, and like any red-blooded American, I have absolutely refused to go to the doctor at the request of friends and coworkers...until now. I am too sick to ignore the advice again. Now to suck up my pride and make the call:

"Hi, I'd like to schedule an appointment with you guys"

"Ok sir, I just need your insurance information..."

"..."

"Sir?"

"I've given you my insurance information on three separate occasions..."

"Let me check that out sir. Oh wow, it does look like we have your information. Could you give it to me again though?"

"Umm...what parts of it do you need?"

"All of it..."

"I don't have all of it on me right now."

"Well then, all we need is the 1-800 number so we can call and verify."

"But I thought you said you need all of it?"

"No, just the 1-800 number."

"I'm confused..."

"All we need is the 1-800 number and your insurance card."

"Ok...back up. You have my insurance information, but you need my insurance information. All you need is a 1-800 number. Now all you need is a 1-800 number and my insurance card. I'm confused. What exactly do I need to make this appointment?"

"Your appointment is at 3:45."

"Umm...thank you?"

"Thank you sir. We look forward to seeing you at 3:45."

*Hangs up*

I don't know what just happened...hopefully the appointment goes better than that...
