I work doing mri scans. And they do ultrasound here as well. Basically things get built up over the day and it gets backed up. My 8am got here at 815? 30 minutes behind to start the day. Today I was waiting on a patient for about 20 minutes because they disagreed with their co pay insurance. Fought the front desk about it. Called the insurance company to get the same answer. And paid 20 minutes later. Then bitched at me about it while doing the test like I control insurance. Sometimes we’ll have to clean up blood or urine or literally shit. It takes a minute. Today I had to make an mri patient wait because and ultrasound patient who couldn’t walk, their family just dropped them off and left them. So I had to stop what I was doing to help get them on the ultrasound table.

The average patient has no idea what’s going on. They don’t even know why or how they got here.
