Since when...

do you need a referral from a clinic or family doctor (good fucking luck finding one of those) to see a gyn?

I know for a fact it was not this way 7 years ago when I got this stupid IUD put in.

I am not, I absolutely flat out effing refuse, to sit in a clinic for four hours so I can say "hi I just need to get an IUD removed can you please send me to a gyn? thanks."

ETA: You know it's bad when you call your ex the doctor and ask him to help and he says "Family doctor? I don't have a family doctor!"

and while I am in a grumpy mood...

is there any reason we cannot go one week without a massive dump of snow unfurled upon the city?

I wouldn't mind if this was to yk, do something cool... but ooooh no. I get to go to the DENTIST.
