Automated systems that don't work
Need to get a copy of the glasses prescription.

Call eye doc, like I have in the past, and request a copy be emailed to me.

Get told I need to log in to the patient portal & I can get it there.

Get sent a login link, but no password
Click 'forgot password' and get another email to reset my password
Put in all the information to verify my account & it returns to the login screen.
Impossible to reset password, and therefore can't get the prescription.

20 minutes on the phone, 3 transfers & multiple holds for them to just email a copy to me. And that's after fighting with their AI answering service to get to a real person.

When I get an AI bot on the phone I just keep hitting 0 until it transfers me to a person.

This one doesn't even recognize keypad presses.
Sit silent long enough & it'll tfr, or ask for asinine things that it can't comprehend.
