Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Roxie, I'm so sorry you have to deal with this! Since Doctor Olive said that he'd get you in soon for surgery, perhaps he will keep his promise? Sometimes nurses don't know the whole scoop. I'm hoping that when you email Dr. O, he will agree to see you soon. Sending you hugs and support. Terry M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Roxie, I HEAR YOU ON THIS!!! It couldn't be more frustrating! With all of this AS crap, don't you feel like you should be treated extra well and with highest priority? You should! As if you haven't been through enough waiting already, and now more! If he was going to have to postpone your surgery until after June, at the very least he could have warned you. You have every right to be angry and you should let it all out. All I can say is, it sucks! I will give you back the advice you gave to me, which is to concentrate on the good here. I hate to be a Little Miss Sunshine here, but the most important thing is that there is hope for you and things are going to look up SOON. I hope beyond hope that there has been some miscommunication and that your surgery will be sooner. If not, I'll be here to listen any time you want to vent. Good luck with your email!

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Roxie, This just really sucks, I can't think of any other way to say it. (without resorting to four letter words, of course.) First, I was infuriated to read this, and now I'm getting tears. Haley is so right, woman with AS go through so much, I say, " YES, we sure should get extra special treatment!! " I know I've been very frustrated myself with how they run that office, or perhaps its the entire UW system?? Last time I was there, Lindsey was working at the front desk, and when I asked her for a form to request my records be sent to my new ob/gyn, she couldn't find them!!!!!! I'm really hoping there has been some misunderstanding here. Please let us know what you hear back from Dr. O. I'm keeping you in my prayers and if you want to call just to vent, please feel free. I'll be here to listen. Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Roxie, I really just can not believe what you're having to endure!!! I also pray that it is just a matter of the receptionist being out of the loop and that he will be able to do your scope right away. Otherwise, does the man have no compassion?!? I think you have every right to be livid and sometimes it takes a meltdown in front of the doctors (or staff) for them to understand the emotional toll that this takes. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you - you really deserve a break! Jen Czap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Thanks Jen! Unfortunately this person I talked to seems to be the only one there who knows what is going on. I will send him my e-mail tomorrow and will take it from there. Thanks for understanding, it means a lot! Roxie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 ugh, Roxie, I'm sorry you are getting weighed down by the beurocracy of the medical community....it's not enough that there are struggles that we can't control, then we rely on people to do what they are expected/promise, and they fall down. It's just not fair. I think it's a great idea to calm down before writing the email, this is coming from a person who is incapable of that, so if you can I admire you for that. Good luck and keep us posted. D.roxanndianna1 wrote: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 Roxie, Just to say sorry for all your frustrations. I don't think it is fair that you should have to be made to wait that long. I hope you have calmed down a little and was able to email Dr Olive. I would love to hear what his response was. Hope things turn out ok in the end.
