I just had the most entertaining conversation with a stupid woman. I know, I know, I should have learned...don't argue with stupid people because they will just drag you down to their level and then beat you up with experience...right?
Well Parker had himself a little nursing strike due to this thrush. We've been treating the thrush for over a week with no problems and all of a sudden he seems to be a little sore in his midline pallette. So anyway...we have only lived in KY for two weeks but he does have a pediatrician already and we called her...she was on vacation, the office told me to go to the ER. The ER in this teeny town is never busy and always quick and efficient, so we happily took him. An hour later we had left with a clean bill of health other than the thrush and instructions to pump and bottle feed for 2 days to give his tongue time to heal.
The funny part is what happened in between.
We go to registration.
ER lady: Has he been seen here before?
Me: No. (I then give her his information)
ER lady: I have him in the computer.
Me: Must be from Dr. Shaffer's office
ER lady: We don't share files
Me: Well he hasn't been seen in your ER.
ER lady: He must have been
Me: We've only lived her two weeks...I THINK I would remember bringing him in.
ER lady: Well he's in here.
Me: Okay.
ER lady: He must have had labwork done here.
Me: We've never been here, he hasn't had labwork in this state, let alone in this hospital.
ER lady: Well he's in my computer.
Me: (to Tabatha) Big Brother
Er lady: It's his brother?
Me: No, nevermind
ER lady: Do you think this isn't him? It's P-A-R-K-E-R, Social security number (blah blah blah)
Me: No, I was just saying it was Big Brother, you know, the government and file sharing and conspiracy theories?.....
ER lady: Huh?
I think at that point my head exploded.
