I can't tell you how many times I quit doctors because of the receptionists. But I always tell the docs that their receptionists suck. But you know--so many of them do, that patients are outnumbered. All my offices are good, now, and I know the receptionists by name, so I can call and say, "Hi, Ann, it's Beardy!" Usually they'll treat me a little better because I take the time to treat them with respect. Lots of folks don't. They're just the go-betweens.
Yes, do exactly what you said in the last paragraph. I went through the same thing in the fall. I had to not drink a beer or take a sleeping pill, no matter what, for two days before a test, and I freaked and didn't sleep the first night, so I had to take one the second night, and I had to delay my test another week. Don't mess it up. Just get it over with in spite of the twits.
Good luck.
