“Paper” Work

Today afforded the opportunity for a scheduled doctor visit. It was also the chance to politely decline to preregister online for three different requests – the last being an hour before the appointment. They were certainly persistent.

I just figure somebody has to have some job security in this day and age? Why am I typing information into a form which doesn’t need to be updated save the signature and date, especially when nothing has changed in health history or address? Additionally, the people attending always ask for your medical card and identification for scanning. They’ve got everything they need.

Upon arrival I took approximately five minutes of the receptionist’s time to exclaim, “Nothing has changed,” and sign the form. Two of the minutes were her attempts to find my name in the system.

Apparently I was feeling a little rebellious today?
