Great little piece. Funny while simultaneously providing a serious critique of both automated phone answering services and privatised healthcare. Very nicely done.

Thank you so much for reading—I really appreciate your feedback! Fortunately, the experience that inspired it was related to banking not medicine…though that’s not much of a comfort either 🙃

My pleasure! It was a great piece. I meant to share the link on Bluesky. I just realized you did but it came across as “Muted” because I had the word “automated” Muted (but not hidden)! I just removed that word from my Moderation settings.

Can I share it redirectly from my profile? Rather than repost?

It seems impossible that this hasn't happened somewhere at least once already.

It very well may have…parts of the dialogue was definitely lifted from my inner monologue! 😂

Oh man, I hope this isn't the future we are heading toward. This made me laugh at points and sigh along with the patient's frustration. Thanks for the read!
