Had to reschedule an appt next week because my specialist doctor apparently celebrates this. This is weird.

That zionist devil! How dare he reschedule YOUR appointment to observe a jewish holiday!

Wal now in a way I kinda agree with the wrecked hog in this case. If the doctor knew that date was a holiday he would not be working on why allow appointments to be made for that day to begin with? I don't have a problem with him not wanting to work on a religious holiday for his faith but he shouldn't allow appointments to be set that date to begin with.

making $ vs celebrating a religious day..............I don't dare type anything else

I think he should give you $60.00 for your wasted time. After all, he would charge you if you didn't show up for an appointment.

Sounds like an episode of Seinfeld.

wreckhog. Thanks, I didn't know about the sukkot, interesting. I'd change drs. cause ya never know what them sneaky Jews will do to ya. He might put in a self destruct, or a tracking device, maybe even a hidden microphone. Can't trust them Jews ya know. Shame on a man thinking more of God than money. Sounds like his secretary screwed things up. POWDERMAN.

Actually it is a she, it is a week's notice (which is fair) and she offered another appt at a much less convenient time (not that she would know). Of course you never make or change an appt directly with the doc, they have a legion of folks doing that sort of thing.

wreckhog, I'll bet your right on the assistant making the mistake. Unless the assistant was Jewish, probably didn't know about the holiday. I've never heard of it before.
Doctor ought to make it right, and set you up with a quick time. My dentist always makes the first 1/2 hr to hr in the morning for emergency's. If your hurting bad enough, he'll squeeze ya in in the morning. If nobody shows up, he has a coffee and catch's up on paperwork. gypsyman

Yeah if I were you I'd ask the good Jewish Dr. to throw in a free circumcision

Well that would be another odd thing. A colleague came in late last week, she is a Unitarian married to a reform Jew, and apologizing because her breath smelled of fish. Umm, OK. She had come from her nephew's breakfast circumcision. Apparently, you have some bagels and lox, watch the circumcision, and go to work. It is a party.

Uh some folks got strange ways to party

Yep; also called 'Feast of Tabernacles'. The last of the Fall Feasts of God's commandment to them. It is a foreshadow of the 'Thousand years of Peace on earth'.

Just do what the rest of the masses do, reschedule and go then. Not like hes blowin stuff up or cutting off heads.

Sourdough · « **Reply #17 on:** September 23, 2010, 02:42:33 PM »

So, what is the big deal. Assistant made a mistake and had to reschedule. Reason is totally irrevolant should have never been brought up.

he's not as halty as the so-called Christian defenders of judiasm

I think the word you want is "haughty". That thought would also nicely apply to those defenders of the so-called muslim religion.

I has got to the point that all of them are pi**ing me off.

MGMorden · « **Reply #21 on:** September 24, 2010, 06:13:29 AM »

Eh, it happens. They probably should have not scheduled appointments for that day but offices goof up sometimes. Particularly if they're in an office with multiple physicians - if they are and they're not all Jewish (or not all celebrating the holiday) then the office itself would still be taking appointments - just not for that doctor.

Probably just an oversight. Whatever the doctor wanted the day off for is their own business. It's depressing though to see a few mock the woman merely because she's Jewish.

Oh, is that what you call it, discussion? BTW, I have some racial jokes, er discussion, if you're interested.
