6/13/23: Phone Calls to Schedule Cardiology Appointment

Ugh, phone tag.

The cardiology department called my cell phone, but I missed the call because I had the sound turned off, which is not unusual when I'm at home.  

I called them back, but was immediately routed to voice mail. I left a message with my home phone number.

I did get a call back, but they called my cell phone again! Luckily I suspected they might, and had kept my cell phone near me with the sound on just in case. 

Anyway, I was surprised that they were able to schedule my appointment for just a couple weeks from now. I was expecting to have to wait months for an appointment, but I guess the referral from oncology pushed me up the queue. 

I have to say, I was a little disappointed that the person who left the message, who I think was the same person I spoke with, was very curt. She was all business, spoke quickly, made no pleasantries, did not review or confirm this department's location on the hospital campus. I might even say her voice was devoid of kindness. It was jarring compared to the friendly staff I usually encounter, but OH WELL.
