My wife and daughter came down with COVID earlier this week. They had constant cough, some fever, headache, etc. I told my wife to call her doctor and ask for one of those new COVID pills (that help you get well much faster). My wife called on Wednesday and never got a call back. Just by shear luck I had an appointment with the same doctor on Thursday (day after my wife had called). So......I figured that I'd ask the doctor for a script for my wife and daugher (didn't want them to end up in the hospital). They don't allow people with COVID into the doctors office. When I went to my appt. on Thur morning I talked to the doctor about my foot issues then asked about scripts for my wife and daughter for the COVID pills. The lady doctor was very upset when I asked about my wife and daughter, she told me that this appt was for "me" not for my wife and not for my daughter. She told me that "if" my wife and daughter are her patients they would have to call in to the office and ask about the pills. I told her that they are both her patients and that my wife had called the day before and that no one had ever called her back. She told me that she has over 1000 patients and that she would call my wife back within 24 to 48 hours. I told her that I didn't want them to end up in the hospital. She acted as if I was a stupid idiot for asking for help for my wife and daughter. I told her that if her husband and daughter were sick with COVID and she was not a doctor, would she ask her doctor for help for her husband and daughter. She had no answer. I finished my discussion on my health issues and thanked my doctor for her time. I had a few errands to do before I finnally got home, by the time I got home the pharmacy had delivered the COVID pills to my house for my wife and daughter. WHAT THE HELL!!!!
