You know you visit the pediatrician a lot when you call to schedule an appointment and you are identified before you identify yourself.
Here is the entire conversation:
Me: I need to schedule an appointment for Friday for a CBC.
Peds office: What time would you like to come in?
Me: 9:45.
Peds office: Okay, sure. 10/17/07, right?
So yeah, when the person who answers the phone has memorized your voice and your child's birthdate, I vote you should get a frequent-visitor discount.
Eve woke up around 10:00 last night and would not go back to sleep. Hey, it was Cinco de Mayo! Why fight it? Let's get her some guacamole and get this party started! I draw the line at margaritas, though, Eve.

I also like to refer to Josh by his children's hospital record number, it's easier than getting them to spell our last name right.
ReplyDeleteI want to turn Eve's hospital number into a showtune, like Jean Valjean in Les Mis, Prisoner 24601!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely get a discount. Think of all the time you saved in that one phone call. :) It takes them less time to check you in AND they may never have to file Eve's chart away, so that must lead to a discount, right?
ReplyDeleteOf course, soon they'll be missing you guys and soon after that you can return to near anonymity. :)
