More Military Musings

This time, it's about health care.

So, I call to make an appointment with my primary care provider...

Operator: "hmm, let's see...you've been assigned to XYZ AFB. They do everything different there..."

Me: awkward silence...

Operator: "Okay, looks like you're with Dr. So and So....and she's on the red team. They have a red team and a blue team there..."

Me: (thinking to myself) "What??? The red team? I've never heard of such a thing."

Operator: "Okay, let's look at her schedule....hmm, it says there are no appointments available. She must be on TDY. They do that a lot at XYZ Air Force Base. Let's try someone from the blue team...

Me: sheepishly "okay?"

And it went on from there. After it was all said and done, there was no appointment made. You can't take your child to the clinic, so we have to get Boo enrolled in childcare on post, which has been an experience all on it's own. Maybe I'll give you a little snippet of that one tomorrow.

But seriously...a red and blue team??? My primary care doctor is on TDY???
Ahh, gotta love it! :)
