Sam, I'm so sorry you're going through this. I feel you. The other issue here is that many people, particularly older folks, don't have access to portal or text messages. Expecting them to keep up with technology like this is an unfair form of ageism. And don't even get me started on the devil we call insurance ...

I completely agree! I had someone message me on Instagram and tell they were thinking about getting a land line and deleting every other phone her doctors have that way there is no text option. I thought that was a good idea. I also don’t have the money to pay for another phone though.

Yes, makes sense. I remember when my basic landline cost $10/month. It's so expensive now!

This isn't a small thing, this is awful. I'm sorry this is just the normal experience for you

Ugh yes. We deserve better. I am waiting for several doctor's offices to call me back. It's just so difficult. It shouldn't be this hard to get the care we need and deserve.

It definitely shouldn’t be this hard 😭🫶🏼
