Steph, that sort of doctor roulette is crazy-making. It's just Diflucan! It's not like you're asking for a few doses of morphine to tide you over until your dealer is back in town.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
That sucks, Steph. My old PCP would call in Diflucan for me, haven't tried it with my new one.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oooh Steph, that's so frustrating. And makes no sense to boot. I love my PCP in no small part because she's willing to send in an Rx based on symptoms described over email. Hey, that makes me think, can you email your doctor directly?

I don't actually know. I'll go look at their website and see if there's an address. Good idea!

Nothing! Yay, Sumi!
I hate the systems that keep patients from talking to doctors. I suspect it's by design. Kaiser now has a form of e-mail to doctors, at least, but if the doctor isn't in, someone further down the food chain answers who knows absolutely nothing about the situation.

I mean, Jesus, I'm 40 years old, I've been seeing this doctor for literally almost 20 years (egad), and I've had yeast infections before. I fucking well recognize them by now. I am not a moron, which I would have thought would have been evident when I explained to the gatekeeper that I already was treated for the various alternatives to yeast infections. Which brings us back to just needing a bigger hammer for the original nail.
I honestly think if I just had called and said, "Hi, I have a yeast infection, can you call in Diflucan?" the gatekeeper would have done it. Bah.
