Todays eye exam...

sable.

I would have thought...

brief.

Unable baiting them into a discussion about anything related to religion and/or politics; even the crystal meths addiction's connection to religion/politics.

Interested in the eye exam only and nothing else.

Didn't even ask me about the mass found on pituitary gland with the orbital MRI; why I haven't followed up yet with yet another doctor?

And I'm finding it odd, how the receptionists alway seem caught off guard, and I mean all of them, every time I've showed up for exams; all of them scheduled well in advance.

As a good bit of time was spent at check-in verifying that I have been cleared to self-pay since I do not have insurance, can't wait to see how much this visit is costing me.

Believe I will cancel recheck exam for Flu shot scheduled September 16, 2016 with Surbhi Rohatgi, MD..

See no point of Emory Healthcare profiting off me with one hand while all the same choking me with the other hand.
