Sorry you had to wait, glad you got what you needed.
I am against phone calls for meds. I use to get sinus infections quite often and the doctor I went to would let me phone it in. I'd call and say I had a sinus infection and they'd give me meds (usually a steroid pack) I worked at the time so it was very nice and easy. But I started worrying that perhaps having so much steroids wasn't a good thing and what if I were wrong and it wasn't the usual sinus infection. So I decided to try another doctor who sent me for testing and turned out I had allergies. Once treated for that, my sinus problems cleared up considerably.
Now, I know that you already know what you need and your situation is different, but it's always good that they even get a quick look at you. I hate that "rushed" treatment that some doctors give, even good doctors when they are having a behind schedule type of day. So I get that you felt it was a waste of your time and the doctor's as well. I just like to think seeing them face to face holds them accountable a bit more.
And of course rant away! I hate waiting too long at the doctor's office!!!!!
