My Monday
Ok – I just had a really good laugh and I wanted to share.
This laugh comes on the end of a really bad morning/afternoon. I have my hubby on my mind (he has been sick for over a month now and we are now waiting on test results to see what is wrong), then I hear about another school shooting in Lancaster County, PA – that is out where I was born and my grandmother still lives. Add to that – my ex-sister-in-law (who is a dear friend of mine) – is trying to deal with the break-up of her marriage, her daughter miscarried on Sunday. Needless to say – it hasn’t been a good morning.
I was sitting in another lady’s office here at work, talking about how to bill two different insurances when the patient doesn’t have maternity benefits on one plan and the other doesn’t start until November 1st – when this little gal comes around the corner with a paper towel covered, sterile urine collection cup. Now – being covered up with paper towel – I could only assume that it had been “used” (if you get my drift). She had come from the patient’s bathroom. Now, I don’t know how many doctor offices’ you have been in – but usually the patient bathroom has this not-so-inconspicuous cupboard in it – usually gray steel – that we all know is the “leave your sample here” place. This poor lady could not figure it out. She was coming around the corner with it in her hand – hopefully to ask where to put it (we cut her off and turned her around). I can not imagine that she would have gone to the lobby with it – but I am not ruling that out either.
What does that say? Then I come to find out that she is pregnant and just not at all sure how far along she is.
***sigh*** Ok – so goes the life in the OB/GYN office!!! Just had to share!!!

Can I add that a friend of mine works for a company where he helps the doctors get paid- and there's a doctor out there by the name Dr. Ballitch. I kid you not.
