I agree with rebecca1970. My family had seen Dr. Hartig for years, and even though none of us are fans of the office staff, Dr. Hartig is always great. But I needed a last-minute appointment because I was in from out of town and fell really sick with the flu and had to take an appointment with Dr. Hansen.
Sitting in the waiting room, I noticed that I was sitting across from a posted paper regarding the March on Washington (this was obviously a few years ago). In thick marker, someone had scrawled ""How many people were at the March on Washington? 1 million!"" or something along those lines.
Another person, I'm assuming a patient, had written in response in a different pen, ""This is propoganda!""
""NOT PROPOGANDA!"" the marker returned. ""HANSEN WAS THERE!""
I was particularly perturbed because the talking points of the demonstrators included opposing national or any form of social health care. I couldn't imagine putting my health in the hands of someone who not only felt this way, but felt it appropriate to plaster her political ideology on her waiting room wall (in a tacky fashion to boot).
I stormed out of the office and later received a bill in the mail for a ""missed appointment."" I haven't returned because I refuse to pay this fine. It's a shame Dr. Hartig doesn't have her own office.
