In a world of political correctness...what are MY rights?

I'm walking a fine line but I'm a little pissed.

I have to start out by saying that I am a kindergarden drop out and also a college drop out so I admire people that can achieve both.

That said, I do not understand how people can become individuals in health care when I can't understand them.

Phone call to the vet:

"I'm calling to get test results for Ripley."

"Hold please..."

"In???, this is Dr. ????."

fuck.

"Hey, what are the urine results?"

"Negative on urine."

Silence

"So she's okay?"

"Yes, temperature said you was hot and is still?"

fuck.

"Yes she did have a temperature but it's gone down I think. If her urine results came back negative should I still continue the anti-botics?"

"Never recommend ????? ?????? ??????? ?????? so continue."

okay...keep feeding her the pills...get it.

"Skin condition ?????? ??????? ?????? ?????? ??????? ?? ??? ?????? ?"

"What skin condition? She has a skin condition?"

"Dr. ?????, who saw last Saturday said hmmmmmm......????? ????? ?? ? ? ? ? ????????????????????????????????????????"

WHAT. THE. FUCK. ARE. YOU. TALKING. ABOUT?

"She is tomorrow or next Saturday. You can call back."

Now why the FUCK would I need to call back? Obviously, I have all the information I need.

So? What is that fine line. "Yo...Doc, I can't understand a fucking word you are saying can I please talk to someone else?"

I don't give a shit where anyone is from but you are discussing Ripley's test results, try and slow the accent down.

I have a Texas accent and it can be heavy at times and I have to constantantly monitor it. I still pronounce words that people here don't understand but my ass isn't giving out test results for someone's pet.

If you think I'm just some white racist Texan, you are wrong. My Grandma F was full blooded Italian. The only words I ever understood clearly from her were "God Bless, India."

She also was not giving out test results.
