My room-mate went in for surgery this morning to get a hernia repaired. His “innie” belly button had turned into an “outie” and he was hurting pretty bad. The surgery went quickly and the surgeon came out and updated me – the hernia was only 2 mm. The real problem was lot of fluid build up. He’s doing better and resting at home now.
The real fun – for me at least – came when I went to get his prescription filled. I went to the pharmacy and dropped off the scrip. They realized that the scrip didn’t have a date on it. So they called the hospital – and found out they were all gone for lunch. At the same time.
So, the assistant offered to call when they got back – I went to lunch myself. I went back over 15 minutes after the appointed time – and they hadn’t called yet. The assistant called and then found that the insurance wouldn’t cover it – and/or it had already been filled. Which it wasn’t. So, she then had to call the insurance company and about 20 minutes later she finally got it sorted.
Back to work early tomorrow morning – got a busy day of work before the weekend.
