1. PA Clinic / Can't reach anyone （ 71 ｜ 23 ｜ 24）
Original title:PA Clinic/can’t reach anyone
Post summary:I've been trying to book an appointment with my doctor for a week. It keeps saying the receptionist is unavailable, try again in 20 minutes, or they're gone for the day. Today I had my husband try, and he waited two hours and still no one answered. Why don't they offer a "leave a message with your number and we'll call you back" service? I don't see that my doctor has online booking.

- Just to acknowledge - I think it's fair to say that in the long run, the Port Arthur Clinic is widely considered by patients to be "mismanaged." Actually - try booking through another doctor. (Call the extension of another family doctor at the clinic, explain the issue, and see if they can book you in.) (15)
EN: Just for the sake of acknowledgment- I think it’s fair to say that for the long term, the Port Arthur Clinic has been widely perceived by patients as “woefully mismanaged”. Practically speaking- Try booking through anoth - I worked there for about 15 years. It's very busy, with 4 to 6 doctors at each desk, imagine how many calls a day. It's unfortunate they don't treat their staff better to encourage them to stay. That way they wouldn't be so short-staffed, and each secretary wouldn't have to handle so many doctors. It's a shame because the secretaries work very hard and get yelled at a lot. Some of those secretaries have been there for over 25 years :( (10)

They don't get a break all day except for part of their lunch, which is usually taken up by a queue of calls. They only make about $20 an hour under these conditions... it's a shame. (7)

She was seeing Dr. Nucci, and she felt he never listened to anything she said, denied her, and seemed uninterested in her concerns. She found another doctor elsewhere and got the care and consideration she deserved. And the front desk people always seem incompetent and rude. Personal files are mismanaged. (3)

2. As the tag says...... （ 71 ｜ 19 ｜ 26）
Original title:As the tag suggests….
Post summary:Hello, I'm looking for a person (or people) to talk to, maybe hang out or play video games. I like to think I'm a good person, maybe a bit awkward, but I always try to consider others' feelings. I have many interests like comic books, clowns, dragons, animals, nature, and one of my favorite online games is Outlast Trials! I don't have any friends in TB, partly because I'm generally isolated, but also because I'm really unsure how to actually make friends in TB.

Some images/comments suggest it was a 5-ton truck belonging to a distribution company called "Pratts." The driver left the scene. It's entirely possible the driver didn't know what happened. (13)
