Last script

It was the last script of the day. I thought it would take lesser time to edit then to explain what to change. I went on the doc but didn't have access. I requested for the same.
It was 5 minutes to 6:30 when the doctor's assistant called. 
I said I will be a bit late. May be another 15 mins? She said "okay".
I took out my clothes and started changing. Meanwhile Shrutika had given me access. I started editing on the phone.
Another 2 sentences and the phone rang again. It was the doctor's second assistant. I told him I got a call just 5 mins ago. I will be there. He argued. I got irritated.
I finished my editing. Changed. Tried starting my scooter but it took 5 more minutes. Another 10 minutes to reach. And I reached at 6:50 instead of 6:45.
Bammmm.. the doctor was upset. I was standing in her cabin in front of her. She was teaching her kid.
Said her staff called to cancel the second time as I was late. Her staff had called to cancel my appointments 3 times before this week.
I was in the middle of an implant abd totally dependent on her for the next step.
She continued teaching her child. 
I argued that I waited more than 30-40 minutes even after an appointment so mahy times and a 15 min delay makes her cancel the appointment?
She continued teaching her child.
I asked if she will treat me? She said only on her time, not according to mine.
I asked her to refer me to another doctor but she refused. I asked if another doctor can do it? But she refused to answer.
I asked for a refund and she refused.
I left.
Went to another doctor who said she can definitely help but would need my xray and the details of the implant as in the company name.
I called the old doctor but she was in no mood to help. She blatantly denied giving these details. Said it was confidential.
I again argued that isn't it the patient's right to know what has been implanted in their body?
I went to her clinic. She came rushing threatening to get the police. She said she would sue me as 3 of her patients ran away because I was asking for my details.
I was asking for a receipt of Rs 66000 that I paid her for the first stage of implant.
She forced me to sign a document saying that she has given all the details.
I gave up and signed it.
She started telling her staff how much she helped me. That she was the one to diagnose my trigeminal neuralgia. That she replied to my messages even in the night.!!
Wait... what? I thought doctors are'l supposed to diagnose diseases? Doctors are supposed to respond if a patient is in pain. No?
Anyways. I had gratitude for her for treating me so far so I said I am thankful to her and I said I am sorry that this ended up like this.
But she replied with a "you'll repay for this"
I said same to you and left!
