Could there be any more idiots in this county!

So I went to the doctor last week... they are getting together a ton of tests promising me that we can get these all handled quickly. There are forms, procedure requests and prescriptions. Yep, I am on a mission to get them done ASAP. This is how the debacle started...
I make the appointment for my lab work for Saturday morning because I have to fast, go in... wait my 20 minutes and they take my blood. Krystina held my hand telling me not to cry (very cute moment) After that I was STARVING, so I went to breakfast with my mother in law, hung out for a bit and then headed home. We ate lunch and put on our bathing suits when my phone rings... it's the lab. they need more blood. Now mind you they took 4 viles for 3 tests... why do you need MORE blood. So I ask, the guy BARELY speaks English so I politely ask to speak to someone else. They just tell me that they need more, won't tell me why. I am NOT screwing up my afternoon for you people... I went back monday, only to find out that actually they mislabeled it! Yep, MORONS!
Then on Monday I call to make another appointment for another test. They start asking me specific questions about my test... the paperwork the doctor gave me just says 'routine' and nothing else. The big difference is whether or not I need to be fasting or full of water. So I think I will be smart and call the doctors office... the lady I need isn't there and another lady calls me back at 10 minutes to 5, leaves me a message with all of the WRONG information. I don't even think this lady looked at my chart before she called me. I can't believe how unbelievably frustrating this has been. I have my appointment scheduled for today and still don't know if I am supposed to be fasting or drinking water! AHHH the frustration.
I just feel blessed that I have a super supportive husband and the funniest daughter I could ask for ... the two of them make me realize what is truly important in life and that the best way to get through all of this is not to kill someone, they make me realize what I have to lose... ha ha
