While I didn't have very good experiences with my miltary docters back home, at least they would schedule me an appointment for later in the week. It wasn't "acute" though, just a routine phisical and then a routine pap. Maybe that was the difference. Anyway, here at BAMC they have a really retarded way of doing things. You call in, give your info, tell them whats wrong, and they tell if you if they've got an appointment open that day. If they don't, guess what? You have to call back later and check if anything has opened up. Wth? So I call in, tell this lady I have severe back pain, and she tells me they don't have anything open that day so to call back later. Okay.... Why the hell can't you just schedule me for tomorrow??? It makes no sense whatsoever. I remember they did the same thing to me when I was so sick in the spring. I was having to sleep sitting up, I couldn't breathe, I was miserable. And they told me to call back later. Like I had the energy to keep calling them. It makes me soooo angry. I am sick and tired of dealing with this back pain. Its been over a year now and those morons at Maxwell didn't do jack squat for me. Oh nothing showed up on the xray so that must mean nothings wrong. Yeah, thats why I can't move.
RROOOAAARR!
Real intelligent way to run a hospital. Way to go.

I hate going to the doctor
Hey Sweetheart! Just keep calling every hour. Eventually you will wear them down and they will see you just to get you to stop calling. I hate that you are in such pain and so far away from me that I can't help you. I will pray that they will get you in today so give God a chance and keep calling in. I love you, Mama
You're using the urgent care option on the "appointment hotline" right?
When I called in about my back I tald them that I could. Not. Walk. and they referred me to an outside clinic. Honestly if they don't have any appoinments ask if you can get a referral.
