Virtual Visit Not

   A little aggravated I had a doctors appointment this morning.  One of those virtual visits  Now the Drs. office called me 45 minutes ahead of time and asked the same questions they asked 100 times over  Now after her talking 100 mph and me just kept going yes yes yes yes etc....  She went on to the next step on what I needed to do to get on line for the Virtual Visit. Well when the time came I couldn't get on.  I called the Drs. office and the first question was what type of smart phone was I on.   I informed the  the young that I'm on a landline I don't have a Smart Phone but I do have a Dumb Phone the old flip style and I was intending to use my laptop for the visit. OH NOoo she replied that won't work,  does anyone around you have a smart phone you need a smart phone.  I'm irritated with her voice and attitude and I replied well I'm in the middle of a covid party I can ask someone if I can use one theirs. Now can you have the doctor just call me I finally got her to agree to have the doctor call me. 

   Am I the only one with a old flip phone?  I'm not saying anything bad about them but I don't need one 

 These virtual office visits are a joke.   They can't take you temp, listen to your lungs or heart or take you blood pressure.  Unless you have to insert your phone somewhere.   

I guess to see a doctor now days you need a smart phone     Evidently I won't be seeing one 

I have no problem with my doctor only with my blood

   Stuff like this use to be one of my biggest triggers The feeling of being useless and not knowing how to do something.   I can promise you I would have smoked and while I smoked I would have gotten angrier  and probably chained smoked a couple.    Joyce was a angel to put up with me back then

   Today GoGo and I took a walk instead. I never thought about smoking just thought about the need to relax..
