My obgyn was concerned back in April so sent me to my PCP who I had just seen two days before. They decided based on those two visits I needed a colonscopy to check for stomach cancer and polyps. Just those two things. My pcp gets me an appt with the colo-rectal guy. Makes it in April but it is in June. She tells them she wants me prioritized and get to me as soon as they can. Supposedly if they have a cancellation I get bumped. Nothing doing. I plan to have to wait at least two hours when I finally get there June 3rd and it was FIVE. They first gave me the option of not having it done ( I have had more tests than carter has liver pills lately and am tired of the whitecoats) then decide they will do the test in AUGUST. Umm hello if you are looking for some type of cancer isn't that a bit late?
Well three red flags come up and I decide he isn't the doc for me no matter how sick I may or may not be. ( creepy too)
so the one I do want to see isn't taking new patients. PCP finds me another doc who I finally get the receptionist who left me on hold a bit long -but at least she apologized for it.
They tell me I will get a call Tues morning to set the appt -no call. After I told them I needed both the endoscopy and colonscopy based on other tests and what the two docs want done. I called in the afternoon and they said it would be another 24 because it sometimes takes 48 hours ( not what you told me the first time)
BUT she did tell me that once I have the appt if I feel like it is too long I can see the next available in their practice. After I complained that if it was the c word we were dealing with or whatever why should I continue to have to wait so it can spread/metasize/etc?
And it's not just them it is any gastrospecialist office out there. WTH????
Right now I am seriously searching for a Medicine Man I don't care what tribe ...
