I am happy to report that I was able to make a PT appointment for 2pm tomorrow afternoon with the NovaCare Rehabilitation center in Fairfax. This is the very same place I went to for PT on my achilles. Because it is the same place and because that was just over a year ago, I am apparently still in their system. I know this because when I called and gave the receptionist Jim (an otherwise really nice guy I am sure) my name, I popped up on his screen before I got past the S-C-A-R-A and that prompted the following conversation:
Jim “Oh, so I see you’ve been here before.”
Me “Yes, about a year ago for an achilles injury.”
Jim, chuckling “Well, geez what’s wrong with you? We don’t really like repeat offenders.”
I supposes places like PT centers (and emergency rooms in Chestertown, MD), would rather not have you come back and give them your business, which I’m all for. I suppose this should pretty much be true of every doctor/hospital/ medical facility in the world. With the exception of obstetricians, I suppose their repeat business a good thing. Anyway, I’ve got my appointments set for the next few weeks and after that, if I have my way, I won’t ever be calling Jim again.
