I haven't been to the dentist in 3 yrs. I usually don't go unless something hurts. But anyway, the other day the dentist I went to THREE years ago called me and asked if I wanted to schedule a cleaning, I said okay. Why not?
Well, three days before the appointment the hubbie and I need to go out of town and would be gone the day of the appointment. I called the dentist office, apologized and asked for a reschedule.
R: Receptionist
Me: I'm really sorry but I need to reschedule. I'm going out of town.
R: Are you SURE you can't make it?
Me: I'm sure... We're not going to be home until later that night.
R: But they dentist put an hour aside for you. Are you positive you can't make it?
Me: No... Um, maybe we can resechdule for next week?
R: So you really can't make it? You won't be back in time?
Me: No.... Sorry.
So, we did. I finally got her off the phone.
And THEN the next appointment, the day before it was going to happen I was at work and got a missed phone call on my cell. The R said that my dental insurance has been cancelled and to call her back asap. They were closed when I got the message.
So, the next morning (the day of the appointment) she called me at 8:30am. I was asleep. I work swing. I'm barely awake when this goes on:
R: It seems your dental insurance has been cancelled.
I'm still in shock since I've been paying on it.
Me: That's odd.
R: Why don't you come in anyway
Why, so I can pay out of pocket?!
Me: Uhhh I don't think that's a good idea. (remember I'm half asleep) Why don't we just cancel everything?
R: Why don't you want to come in?
Me: ....
R: Are you sure you don't want to come in today?
She went on and on and on asking me why not and how come.
R: So why...?
Me: (Tired and not knowing how to make her get the hint that I don't wanna go) Uh, I don't know....
Yes, I was very out of it and confused as to why she wanted me to come in so bad. I almost wondered if they're unable to get any customers and are desperate. That's how she seemed. I know I was sucky but I just don't think it was a good idea to go in when she told me my insurance is gone and I was lazy.
Eventually I got off the phone. I'm not calling her back.
