This afternoon, I'll be taking two of the kids to Munson (Army Medical Center on post) for physicals. I just finished compiling the paperwork to cover them for Boy Scout camp, school sports (at Patton Jr. High and Leavenworth High), and for CYS programs.
22 pages. TWENTY. TWO. I am sitting here with twenty two pages of infomation to fill in, before we even get to the doctor. I guess I can forego the remainder of my to-do list today.
Overall, my experience at Munson has been positive thus far, though. The primary care docs I've interacted with, for myself or for the kids, have been pleasant and knowledgeable. The administrative staff and technicians in Radiology are fantastic. My only current complaint would be the six minute introduction you have to go through on the phone before actually speaking to a person. Ok, so maybe six minutes is an exaggeration. But, it is a very long time.
