Hi, I've been referred to Dr. X for an emergency consultation and I'd like to make an appointment for as soon as possible today.
OK. WHEN WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME?
Uhh, as soon as possible. Like today.
OK, TODAY WOULD BE FINE BUT HE'S NOT IN UNTIL NEXT MONDAY.
HELLO?
Why would I make an appointment for someone who will not be there for a week?
YOU COULD TRY - YOU NEVER KNOW.
HELLO?
Is there anyone else I could see or that I can be referred to?
NO.
So you're telling everyone who calls to stay sick until next week so that they can see this specialist?
YES.
Did you seriously just answer yes to that question?
YES.
