Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's fair to hate all of medicine because you've been failed by a couple doctors, right? Or should I tone it down to just American medicine?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think you can hate all of medicine today if you are willing to reduce the scope of your hatred in the future.

I think you have a good case for serious indignation and resentment based on the latest alone. Hell, given your history, hate and distrust (my addition) is a reasonable response. Fury, even, but that's exhausting. You've had too many bad run arounds.

I just really hope you find one practitioner you can trust and respect and who fixes this.

Maybe that'll be the guy whose first opening was May 31st.

Jesus fucking christ. I am beyond exasperated and trying to avoid having a meltdown. Right now, I'd even settle for my head behaving predictably, or maybe my migraine specialist returning my fucking call. That patient she was in with at 5:08? Man, they must be badly off, because she's still in there with them, or she'd surely have called me back like she said.

I hope he can and that they have an earlier cancellation like...next week. At the latest. I'm being pessimistically hopeful.

I hate the whole callback shit. Even with something as mundane as my freaking mechanic, it ramps up my cranky when they don't call. I can't quite imagine my response to my own fucking body needing fixing.

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this, ita.

Ugh. Not calling you back earns some hatred, definitely.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good call.

Hate may also be appropriate for people who don't freaking call back.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't feel quite willing to reduce the hatred-o-scope in the future, but perhaps if I trade hatred for...no, can't think of anything good.

However, in TV lines to love for the ages, "This might be random but I'm a midwife" (certainly paraphrased) does lift me some.

Not enough so that I can drive, but there you go.

Aw, poor sweet msbelle. And is there any way I can help?
