the doctor's office part two
it was the neurologist's office. they said that my normal clinic wouldn't send blood work results to them cuz they weren't authorized. i said, 'huh?' and she said, 'i know, it's never happened to us before. call them and tell them to send them over.' so i called and the receptionist said, 'huh? that's never happened to us before. i'll transfer you to records.' so she did and the lady said, 'huh? that's never happened to us before. what's their fax number?' so the records got sent. don't you just love hppa?

what's hppa?
or is it hippa? anyway, the stupid privacy rules that go way overboard.
actually, it's hipaa but it's pronounced like "hippa"
thank you. it was bothering me, cuz i know i should know it. and that's annoying to - why does everything have to be letters nowadays?
it's b/c we have to be so politically correct, i think ... so precise that it takes forever to say, so we have to make it into letters instead (that we can never remember!) ... or maybe they just want to trick us by using jargon and make us think they're smarter than us ... i miss the jane austen days -- wouldn't it be fun to communicate (and dance:) like that? :) I don't think they had acronyms ...
it would be nice to speak simply. they also got to use fancier words - they had bigger vocabularies. and i like that.
