Whiners and Complainers

ConversationsWithMoms:Every day Conversations with a Mom Blog

My Friday Frustrations are late, at least I am getting them done now.

My frustration for this week is whiners and complainers, especially when they are whining and complaining about things they are receiving for low or no cost.

Last May I started having to use a free clinic when my husband lost his job. With all my health challenges I just could not afford to pay for a doctor out of pocket and I am blessed in that the county I live in has an awesome free clinic. One of the services they offer is acting as a go between for their clients and the big pharmaceutical companies. What they do is work very very hard so that the pharmaceutical companies will give you a years worth of free medicine for each one of your prescriptions. Out of all my medications, I get all but two for free.

The procedure to pick up your medication is the pharmaceutical company mails your medications to the free clinic, about three months at a time, and the clinic calls you and you go pick it up. Also, because there are doctors at the free clinic, the clinic does keep some prescription medications on hand so that the doctors can write the patient’s prescriptions,at no charge to the patient.

Any time I have to go to the pharmacy I expect it to take a while. They have to hand write out each an every one of the prescription labels on the medication bottles, there are a lot of patients, and everyone who works there is a volunteer.

After I got out of the hospital, I needed to go pick up a few prescriptions that had been waiting on me. My mother dropped me off and she left and did her thing. We knew it would take some time. As I was waiting in the pharmacy waiting room, the two ladies who were in there with me started talking. Or should I say, whining and complaining.

It seems instead of getting there right when the clinic/pharmacy opened because they had to go to work, they waited a bit and then were complaining because it was taking the pharmacy “too long” to get their medications ready. One of them even had the nerve to say that she did not think the doctors or the pharmacy staff really knew what they were doing.

I have to admit, I just wanted to get in their faces an shake my finger and tell them how ungrateful they were. I mean seriously, the volunteers (even the doctors are volunteers) work there every day to make sure people like us have good medical care. They work hard to get us free medications and to fill our prescriptions. They work hard to make us feel positive about ourselves, and seem to really care about the people who go there.

So these two ladies who did not plan heir schedules better were complaining because of the amount of time it took the pharmacy. It was not their first time there so the knew how long the wait could be. Instead of acknowledging the fact that they were responsible for not getting there early enough, they would rather complain about free services that they do not even have to use.

Ok rant/frustration over.
