I am so pissed off right now. All of my medical records have some how vanished off the doctors computer system and they are telling me that because I’m not on the computer, I was never a patient! For the past 20 odd years I (my pets) have gone to the Mann Memorial Clinic for Animals Route 1 at Arundel Kennebunk, ME. OVER TWENTY YEARS! Get that… 20 years, that is important to remember. This vet, however is more than an hours drive from my house. Last year a new vet opened up just a 15 min drive from our house, so I figure, I’ll switch my vet. In a medical emergancy 1 hour and 20 mins, verses 15 mins, can make a big differance. It’s to our advantage to go to a local vet.
Okay, here’s the thing. You guys know how many animals I have right? In the past 30 years I have had over 500 pets. FIVE HUNDRED PETS. That’s a lot of vet visits each year. I currently have just under 100 pets, including 9 cats and 1 dog. That dog, Buddy, has gone to the Mann vet twice a year every year for the past 10 years… that’s 20 visits to the vet, for just that one dog… and my other pets have been going to Mann regular as well.
Here’s the thing:
Today, I called the new vet to make Buddy an apointmet, the new vet asked me to have Mann fax them Buddy’s records. Okay. So I call Mann and ask them to send Buddy’s records, and get this: They tell me that they have no record of a Wendy Allen or a Buddy Allen ever being a patient there!!!! I was on the phone with the bitchiest desk girl I’ve ever talked to, for more than 2 hours, while she yelled at me, and accused me of lieing and said that I had never been to that vet before in my life!!!
She told me that they never delete their records, so she KNEW FOR A FACT that I had never been to their office! How the hell do you lose a 20 year old medical file… can you imagine how huge a file we must have… me going there for 20 odd years with so many pets? How can they lose something like that and not notice it?
OMG… me and my 500 pets, not going to their office anymore is going to take one hell of a bite out of their yearly income, that’s for sure…. mabey they can’t find me on their records, but they sure are going to notice a huge drop in the patients they have coming in now.
I couldn’t believe it! I was going to them for more than 20 years! She tells me, that the computer system doesn’t lie, that I’m not in it. I was in their system, a good 5 years before they even had computers in their office!
Has anyone else ever had anything like this happen to them?
