I called my health provider today and was kept on hold for
one hour and 20 minutes. And STILL didn't get to talk to a
representative. I finally just hung up. Sheesh
:mad: :grr:

2. I'll bet they had a recording that kept telling you
"your call is important to us". Obviously not important enough to actually answer it though.

5. I don't know how big your clinic is
but my clinic is big and I understand how you feel. I have gotten so fed up with the holding that I write a note and put it in the mail. I most generally get a call back the next day or so. It works for me, but I understand how it might sound stupid.

the little guy.
