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

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, 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, 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

Today, I spent half an hour on the phone with a woman who was yelling at the top of her lungs, sobbing uncontrollably, and hyperventilating. She also told me if she had a heart attack and died from crying, it was all my fault. Why? I told her she needed her receipt to have her TV repaired. FML

Today, I called a doctor's office for a referral. I was in public, so when she asked me what type of issue I had, I mumbled that I had a vaginal issue. After painstakingly having to repeat this several times, she said she was asking what kind of insurance I have. FML

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.
