I'm thinking if I'm fine by then I probably won't go back...I really detest clinics...there are sick people there, coughing, sneezing...and the WORST thing is...and it's never been done at that clinic before, but is now...is that the receptionist asks for your address, phone number and WHY you're there!! I know who has a bladder infection, who's there for birth control...omg!! So I passed her my health card and my driver's licence when I was called up, and said the phone number is also the same. I told her "knee pain" which is probably what I'd tell her no matter why I was there! Can you imagine??!!
Does your clinic ask people to divulge out loud their personal information like that?!!!
Anyhoodles...thank you all for your concern...I was so worried since we're off to NY in a couple of weeks, which will entail lots of walking (in Macy's)...thanks, everyone...I hope this med works!
Hope you're all having a better day!! :)
