When I worked at the Physio/Podiatry clinic, I learned that many people are functionally illiterate and I got be very good at quickly and discretely going over the form with them. The tell tale comment, was, oh I forgot my glasses...
Major Surgery? Anything taken out or put into your body?
One day I had a lady who was our patient come in to ask if I could help her with a form from another office. It was long, complex and she was illiterate. She did not want to admit to the admin at the other office she could not read, so she brought it to me and I helped her complete it on my lunch hour.
I cannot imagine being asked to complete forms each visit. At my doctor, and my vet, I am only asked if I have moved. At the local hospital, my information on file is verbally confirmed.
My insurance has changed, so when I was handed the ipad to fill out the usual questionnaire.....Lol.
I am FINE!
Then I had a brilliant idea..... next time I got those darn clipboards, I would write across the front of them "SAME AS BEFORE", have my parents sign the forms, and hand them back to the admins behind the counter.
There is that....have fun with them.
And, good point. Highly likely NO ONE READS the surveys.
LOL. Tomorrow I see my therapist. They hand you a tablet to fill out how you are feeling. Oh what fun....it is to mess with them....on a one horse open sleigh!
Jingle.
Or keep a list of incredibly rare health conditions, and claim to have had all of them when you were a baby. [n.b. don't sign the form, if you're going to do this. You will need plausible deniability in case anyone should chance to read it.]
You are right about it being an annoyance. I suppose they are collecting data but it is terribly aggravating.
Yeah, then if you fill out the survey with a comment, they contact you again!
Don't fill out surveys anyone!
Maybe I am just irritable because of sensitivities to the full moon, and family stressors.
We need to stand strong, maybe not answer some calls, and not fill out some forms.
You’re right. Tons of forms! Every doctor visit I go to I get a follow up email to fill out a survey form asking about the care given. Same thing with hospital stays.
Before the appointment I am asked if I want to do a pre check in. So I do and take the time to answer all of the questions. Guess what? Your name is called, you sit with the nurse before the doctor arrives and she asks all the same questions!
So, I told the nurse, “I filled out the form online with these questions.” She says, “Yes, I know but we still have to ask them.” So what is the point!
I am no longer filling out the pre visit questions for my doctor’s office. I get sick of filling out forms too.
We die, and the doctor fills out a death certificate.
In between there are driver's licenses and marriage certificates.
Would anyone be able to get through life without all these certificates?
So tired of filling out forms!
So done!
Just now, I ended the call I was trying to return, thinking if it is important, they will call back.
What if we just stop answering calls, filling out forms, forever...or at least until the end of the year? Would that be unreasonable?
