like oh my God. I have a growth in my breast. it's painful. I potentially found another growth in my arm. I'm a nursing student. I know that this s*** needs to get checked out. but because I'm literally allergic to telephone calls it is taking me over a month to book an appointment. and whenever I do get the balls to call, my doctor is unavailable due to hospitalist hours. (she has to go there every other week due to my provinces family practice requirements... but also random days through the week she is unavailable because she has many geriatric patients that require home visits etc... state of healthcare and all that)
I wish the healthcare my province didn't still only exist on paper and fax machine. I wish it was like every walk-in clinic in the big cities where you can just make an appointment online using a built-in calendar widget. I wish the dentist was like this too because I need filling. F*** THAT'S ANOTHER THING I'VE BEEN PUTTING OFF FOR MONTHS. I've literally had jobs that were exclusively phone calls but for some reason when it comes to unscripted conversations over the phone I'm at a loss. I could be in a sealed barrel slowly filling with water with the only potential exit for survival being to call. my grandma and I would still hem and haw about it.
just wondering if my experience is the same as anyone else's. I know what I need to do. I just called the office and of course the line was busy. I set a timer and I'm going to call them again when it goes off in an hour. I'm just still kicking myself for not getting this looked at sooner because I am incredibly anxious about my boob right now! and I know this could have been resolved weeks ago if I just sat down and called once a day like i shouldve. bleh
