Re: AVS rescheduled - humor me please, have to vent :)

[Guest guest]

How frustrating. All that worry was almost over and wham. Hope it gets rescheduled soon

My AVS was supposed to take place tomorrow morning at 6am. Late this afternoon the hospital called to reschedule me for NEXT Friday, allegedly because the interventional radiologist is ill.

Granted, I would rather postpone than have this done by an IR who isn't feeling well! But still - after the months of waiting, and a long week of worrying about all the things that could go wrong, having to wait yet ANOTHER week is not going to be easy.

Thanks, it's next Friday. At the much more manageable hour of 12 noon. Unless of

course it gets rescheduled again!

What does " You want the first team " mean?

They are using ACTH, it's being done by the IR at UCLA who is most experienced

with the procedure.

I'm still not sure I understand. There's only 1 IR we're talking about, it's the

same one who was scheduled to do it originally but the day and time changed.
