Today, I had to repeatedly explain to an increasingly angry lady that no, she couldn't get an ultrasound by using a referral letter from her psychic. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I spent all day handing out flyers advertising my services as a psychic. I got only one call. The caller wanted to inform me that I had misspelt the word "psychic" on my flyer. She was right. FML
Today, the daughter of a patient called me, again, on my direct line after I repeatedly told her she had to go through the secretary for non-urgent matters. She said, "OMG, are you serious?" and hung up on me mid-sentence while I was talking about her father. FML
Today, my mom got pissed off at my doctor and called him a quack. She did this because he reassured her that I don't show any signs of the mental retardation that she's convinced herself I must have. FML
Today, I had to explain to a patient that no, her nipples were not slowly getting smaller. FML
Today, I had an irate patient scream at me to the point security had to be called for not printing out the pictures she wanted. I’m an on call ultrasound tech in the emergency department. She’s only about 7 weeks along and thought she was going to get a picture of a full-sized baby. FML
Today, the psychiatrist who I've been relying on to evaluate my condition to give me some real help, who I've been waiting on my appointment with for three months, suddenly rescheduled me until February next year. Why? Because she's "not working that day". I can't afford to see anyone else. FML
Today, I kindly explained to a client that she had calculated her CD interest wrong. She kindly responded that, as a nurse, she would never give me medical treatment if I was involved in a car accident. FML
Today, at work, I spent half an hour trying to convince an elderly customer that no, I wasn't a messenger sent by the devil to take her soul to hell. FML
Today, my mom reached the lowest point of her midlife crisis. She convinced herself she's psychic and grounded me for something she "knows" I'm going to do. FML
Today, my mother threw a fit because the psychologist she got me suggested I visit a psychiatrist. Apparently, it's my fault because I "choose" to be so "crazy". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ultrasound is grainy where as crystal balls are so clear.

this reminds me of that one FML a couple weeks back in which OP's was told by a psychic that he was cheating on her... some people are just too gullible these days.

She's just really hoping shes pregnant instead of just fat

Pretty sure a lot of us are hoping she's just fat.

Not that I consider a psychic's recommendation worth a damn, but why not just give her the ultrasounds she wants? It's a safe procedure and assuming she is willing to pay, why not just give it to her?

Not sure about the States, but in Canada (at least where I live) you have to have a requisition letter from your doctor before they can do an ultrasound. It sounds like that's the case in this FML.

That's just not the way it works. Plus one needs to prepare for an ultrasound if it's to see a pregnancy...drinking a lot of water beforehand and not emptying the bladder for 3 hours prior to the scan. Someone can't just walk in and get an ultrasound.

Probably also has to do with insurance. I'm betting she is expecting her insurance provider to cover it and naturally they aren't going to pay for an ultrasound if there hasn't even been a pregnancy test done.

if she was paying for it I'm sure he would, but insurance isn't going to cover it.

If there is a God, please don't let her be a mother.
