I can't believe it.

Zoey1981 · #1 November 9th, 2011, 05:30 PM

So I cannot believe this....my former OB's office called me today to REMIND me of my u/s appointment tomorrow!!!! Are you kidding me?! I called them back (i missed the call) and told them "The appointment was suppose to be cancelled...I m/c remember I am NOT pg anymore" Like I REALLY needed a reminder that I should be 7w2d tomorrow and going in for a happy appointment to hear the heartbeat?! This is just really seals the deal and makes me feel even better for changing doctor's offices.

sorry ladies I just had to vent. It got me really upset and annoyed.

Wow, I would have been super upset too, Im sorry

Doodle_Jr. · #3 November 9th, 2011, 06:33 PM

I'm sorry

The same thing happened with my first loss.

ninja_mommy · #4 November 9th, 2011, 06:53 PM

hugs. I called to talk to my OB after m/c and told them I needed to cancel an appt I made for a month later. They were asking why or if I was coming back to their practice. It's just a thorn in your side

roziecakes · #5 November 9th, 2011, 08:25 PM

Wow. That would really piss me off too. How awful

That is horrible! We really don't need reminders and that just is like a stab in the heart.

pepper73 · #7 November 10th, 2011, 04:19 AM

OMG, that is awful!!! I'm glad you called & set them straight. I would've been so upset too! I'd say it's a good call for you to change doctors.

I would have called and given them an earful!

*hugs* I am sorry that happened

acchickpea · #9 November 10th, 2011, 06:45 AM

That really does suck.... You don't need reminders that it happened and then to tell them that you just had a loss... hurts.. Hugs....

K.A.T · #10 November 10th, 2011, 06:52 AM

Ugh what an unorganized bunch. I'm sorry.

humnck · #11 November 10th, 2011, 07:00 AM

I am really sorry! When I had my loss it was just a few days before my NT Scan was scheduled, I had to call and cancel and the woman said do you need to reschedule, I said no thank you, I lost the baby, she felt awful and was immediately apologetic, I thought later, I should have asked my doc office to do that, they totally would have called and cancelled for me - I hope your new doc office is much better at being organized!!!

Nope the gal I talked to just basically what sounded like shruged it off and said "okay". And I hung up the phone. But she was also the gal that I couldn't stand from the begining. She doesn't seem at all competant to be working in a medical office. She screwed up things for me constantly. It's why I always asked to talk to someone else, lol.

Running like crazy from that office!

And thanks ladies at least I know now I didn't over react or that my standards for what is to be expected are to high. I just couldn't believe it.

I don't think you overreacted at all. I think it's totally insensitive of them.

tobi4 · #15 November 11th, 2011, 10:04 PM

So sad, Im sorry that happened to you.

LoverlyJules · #16 November 12th, 2011, 03:20 PM

I'm so sorry!! After they scheduled my D&C in July, they immediately cancelled all my other appointments ... that would be been really sad to get that reminder phone call. *hugs*

cdukes2010 · #17 November 14th, 2011, 05:36 AM

I'm sorry that happened to you! I had the same thing happen. It was a recorded message reminding me of my 12 week appointment with the doctor. When we lost the baby they told us they would cancel everything so I didn't have to stand up at the front desk bawling my eyes out but turns out that they did not.

StaceygirlPa · #18 November 14th, 2011, 07:46 AM

I would have been pissed also. I wouldn't have been nice on the phone at all. Sorry that happened.

Sorry that happend to you as well. It's so frusterating and tbh hurtful! I mean how hard is it to take a second after the persons appointment as they are leaving to delete any remaining appointments for that pregnancy?

I'm so sorry. I can relate. I went to my obgyn last week and the nurse asked me "how's the baby?" I said "she died." I delivered my daughter stillborn @ 23 weeks. My husband told her they need to read the charts before starting a conversation with patients. I felt bad for her because she looked so embarrased but I felt horrible and just felt like leaving.
