I figured out that his town has spring break, and he has kids, so most likely he is in Disneyworld or something. So I definitely think he is on vacation this week. However, that doesn't explain his lack of a return call the other weeks.
I think his billing person will be in mid week and I can call to make sure she got my last check and also ask if he is away.
Assuming he ever does reschedule, I am going to talk about how his casual attitude about routine calls makes me feel, It's not something I think I can express on the phone.
I am disappointed. I feel like an oversite, But he has been so good to me in so many ways, I keep hoping there will be a reasonable explanation and frutiful discussion that comes out of all this.
I refuse to leave any more msgs on his machine, that is my new resolution. April keeps filling up with other work and social stuff. Gee, maybe it will just get too full for me to see him, doctors aren't the only people who are busy.
It just hurts to realize he couldn't even take 15 seconds to at least leave a msg on my machine saying, I got your msg about rescheduling and that should be fine, but I won't be able to give you a new time for a couple weeks because I'll be traveling, I'll call when I return,
He doesn't even have to dial an area code for me! So that is five seconds to punch buttons on phone, 10 secs to leave msg. 15 seconds,
Well, I have to be strong and not leave some pathetic weepy msg asking if he is dead/resigning me etc.
If he doesn't call by Tues or so of next week, I am going to leave one last msg saying that if he doesn't call back, I will start looking for new docs, since I will assume he no longer has time for me as evidenced by him not responding to my 4 calls and one note,
Thanks for the response.
