WHY do medical people make a referral for you somewhere....

[Guest guest]

And NEVER inform you of the appointment they made for you. I had a migraine

today so I turned off my phone so that I would not be cursing when I

answered the phone because I was expecting a call from a nice person that is

teaching me how to use some programs on my computer and did not want to act

like a WITCH towards him so I figured - turn off the phone and when he does

not get me he will call back some other day. I turned the phone back on

after 6 PM when the migraine was finally down to manageable size to see if

he had called and left a message. No message from him but two from an MRI

place informing me of my 9 AM appointment TOMORROW with no instructions

about what to do in preparation or directions to where they are or even

their address. This got me HOT because even though my doctor had asked me

about whether when I had had an MRI, he did NOT tell me he would make a

referral for one, NOBODY in his office informed me they were making a

referral, NOTHING was mentioned about an MRI until TODAY! Needless to say,

the office was closed when I returned their call, I told them that since NO

ONE had informed me of the appointment AT ALL until today and that, when

they called I had the phone turned off due to a migraine, I had NO notice of

the appointment and I NEED at least a week's notice of ANY appointments so

that I can arrange transportation and someone to be with me if necessary,

therefore, I would not be able to make the appointment due to NO

transportation and NO possibility of having someone with me, if I needed to.

Talk about STUPID people!
