GRRrrrrrrrr

I don't believe it, I am so angry......    I just went to the Flu clinic to get my annual flu jab and I got turned away by the receptionist.  Who the hell do these receptionists think they are?

"Are you entitled to the flu jab?". she asked me 

"yes, I am I have had 3 strokes", says I

"Is your reason for having a flu vaccine listed on this sheet?" she asks

"No it isn't, but I have the jab every year". I tell her

Not this year it seems.  I must go home and ring the doctor up and get verification and come back next time the clinic is open for flu jabs. 

I was seething as I made my way home.  Before taking my coat off I rang the clinic and pressed '3' to speak to a doctor's secretary.  I explained what had happened and gave my date of birth.

"Maxine", she said, "you are entitled to the flu vaccine but you have missed today's appointment".

I said "No, I haven't missed the appointment they just told me I am not entitled to it".  

The secretary says to me, "You must attend tomorrow at 11.15am".

"I can't, I will be at work, I can only go on my day off".  I told her.

And it transpires that now, I must ring the clinic each week until i find out when the next clinic for flu jabs will take place and hope they coincide with my day off.... ffs.  I'll get myself a cup of PG tea with two biscuits, put my feet up and enjoy them while I calm down.
