A little ticked off right now

I just waited 2 hours in an urgent care clinic, for what I thought would be a pretty easy visit. I have what appears to be an eye infection. I am not sure if it is bacterial or viral, but it is crusty and yucky.
Anyway, I finally get called back into a room and after the MA takes my vitals, the doc comes in and says, "Are you pregnant?" "Yes." "I can't see you. We do not see pregnant people at this clinic. Call your ob."
SERIOUSLY?
I just filled out a bunch of paperwork and even answered that I was pregnant on the form I filled out TWO HOURS AGO. The doctor told me the receptionist doesn't read those forms. Well, I think she does, since she took all of my information off of it, typed it up, and called me up to the counter to verify.
I was so angry. Wait, I'm still angry.
And school starts tomorrow. So I will go, in my glasses and crusty eye, with the potential of infecting others, because I CANNOT miss the first day of school. Hopefully, I can get in somewhere tomorrow afternoon. Ugh.
How frustrating!

Oh man. That stinks. What kind of a clinic turns away pregnant women? They need care more than anyone! Ugh. I'd be seething too.

OMG that would totally piss me off!!! Kudos to you for NOT blowing up at them. Yay for being preggo though right?!?! (PS- Come check out my new preggo/LGBT designs at www.cafepress.com/thenewnuclearfamily)
