In an already stellar display of quality record keeping, my new insurance company has assigned me a geriatric specialist as my primary care doctor.

Imagine my shock when I tried to make an appointment, and the secretary asked me if I was over 65.

“Um… no, should I be.”
“Well, yes, Dr (NAME) is a geriatrician.”
“A what now?”
“A doctor for senior citizens.” (I could tell she wanted to say ‘an old-people doctor’).
“Oh… then I guess I won’t need to make an appointment right now.”

Yea, oops.
