Semi-related to the post. Yes, today is Saturday. No, the collaborative team clinic is not open today. So why the hell did the lady book me in for today? Doors are locked. So I walked into the walk-in clinic next door and they look in their system and say there is NO appointment for me, at all! So I imagined it? Was I talking to a ghost? Maybe I mistakenly took some peyote without realizing it and hallucinated the whole thing?

Hell, who needs statins anyway? If my next post makes even less sense then usual, I may have had a stroke.

And to be clear, I am not laying an ounce of blame at the feet of the nurses, who remain in an untenable position. The whole staff is underfunded and overworked, and the linked article is a perfect example of the attitude that leads to this sort of situation.

    Damn, I’m really sorry to hear that. If I showed up to a booked healthcare appointment only to find a closed clinic, I’d be disappointed and pissed (to say nothing of any unmet healthcare needs). I hope you get the care you need soon <3
