mutedtempestI overslept my doctor's appointment.
I know it sounds stupid, because it IS stupid. I needed to go get another checkup because my old doctor didn't fill my medical form out correctly when I renewed my driver's license, and I got a letter saying it'll be revoked on September 7th.
However, the guy that fucked it up was let go, and to have it filled out again, I needed to have another checkup. Don't ask me why, I found it pretty stupid myself. But since my old doctor got fired, they don't have any diabetic doctors on staff. The guy I was supposed to see today is only helping out two days a month or some other ridiculous thing.
I set my alarm. I had a bad night and I decided to take a nap before the appointment, and I set my alarm. But the stupid thing didn't go off. I should have gotten a new one years ago, it's done this before. But it hadn't in awhile, so I thought I'd be okay. No such luck.
An hour after my appointment time, I woke up and freaked out. I called the clinic and was told that there are no available appointments with this guy until October. So basically, I am utterly fucked when it comes to driving. My license will be revoked on September 7th and there isn't a goddamn thing I can do.
Granted, I shouldn't have overslept. But I don't see how it's my fault that the guy they fired was incompetent. I'm losing my license because he filled the form out wrong, and because i can't find a doctor to fill it out correctly. So, since I have a medical condition, I don't get to drive although I did every single fucking thing I was supposed to.
I don't drive, I'm terrified of it. I don't even want to. But I worked so hard to get the license in the first place that I want to keep it. I paid a lot of money to take driving classes, I passed them, and I passed all my driving tests. I'm diabetic but I'm medically fit to drive. But I can't. This has happened before, with another doctor at the free clinic. Apparently, you have to be rich to have things filled out correctly. I'd love to go to a real doctor and have them do it, but I don't have a spare thousand to throw away.
It's a status symbol. I don't want the license to drive, I want it because I worked hard for it and earned it and they're taking it away for a very stupid reason. I love that it was my doctor that fucked up, yet I get penalized for it. I just want to be a real person.
