    Why do these have to be so good, and so cheap?

    You need a couple feral dogs like these two, nothing is safe in this yard but strangers or other dogs, they will run if any human or dog come up, but all varmints are prey. We enjoy them though.

    My rant is just getting into gear for mopping this morning, and how little dirt the floor vac picks up., but it beats the broom.

    Since most things come from China including almost all supplements, how do you know that your suppliers' catheters don't? My brother goes through Indian pharmacies for some things. Maybe you can find an outlet there although shipping times will be a bit long unless you pay through the nose.

    ***CAUTION: RANT ABOUT AN INCONSEQUENTIAL 1ST WORLD PROBLEM***​

    My urologist went to a new patient portal. I hate it.

    There is a messaging function on the landing page to send a message, and there is a Messaging Center where you can send messages and view/manage the historical stuff.

    -When you send a message from the landing page, it does not get copied to your Sent folder. You have no historical record that you even sent a message, much less a copy of that message.

    -When you send a message from the Message Center, you cannot attach a file to it. That function only exists when sending a message from the landing page...where you don't get a copy of the message.

    -Today I sent a message from the Messaging Center regarding some confusion over the way appointments appear. I got a response via text, where I had to provide authentication and then enter a code they sent me. I did not receive my response via the portal, where my contact originated and where the Sent message folder resides. Stuff is fragmented between the two devices. And I didn't ask for a text response. AND I asked them to make an appointment if one was not already there, but in typical fashion they address part of the message and ignore the rest.

    There is no way to contact the webmaster or tech support for the urologist's office to give feedback, and there's no way to reach tech support or customer service with the company that developed the portal. I've tried. When I called the urologist's office and tried to explain the problem with the 2 different messaging spots and how the patient does not always get a record of the conversation, the woman on the other end said "So, what's the problem?" in a tone that dripped with "So what???"

    :mad:

    Can you send complaints by registered mail to social services et al at the hospital or clinic? Copy whatever you write to paste later after hitting send?

    I probably could. The main issue is the poor design of the portal by the 3rd party who creates and implements them for these practices. It's not end of the world, but it's really frustrating. And the desing sucks.
