Gotta love doctor offices that have staff that are so incompitent they make your life crazy.
So here's the scoop as to why I say that.
As my regulars should well know by now, the doctor I deal with now is not one of my favorite offices to visit. I've had nothing but problems from the get go (january this year).
It just got worse. So much worse that it could mean I have to do 3 more months of doctor supervised wieght loss. If I decide to say fuck it and find a new doctor, it will mean 6 months.
So yea, nice long possible delay I'm facing here.
Here's the story.
My surgeon office needs a copy of the medical stuff I went through with my old doctor that left her practice (6 months weight loss supervision, note the 6 month ggrrrr, I also had 4 months nutritionist and a mental evaluation. Luckily those 2 offices the surgeon has the results so no worries there). In January when I switched to my new doctor, I signed paperwork to get copies of my medical records sent over. I also signed paperwork to have those same copies sent over to the surgeon. A month later I signed yet again to have those copies sent to surgeon. 3rd month when I asked if the records had been transfered yet, I was told no, when was it needed. I mentioned how I'd already signed twice. So needless to say I signed yet a 3rd time and was told it would be done that day. I think it actually was within a few days but it did get done.
Partially....They sent a copy of the records of my visits from Jan, Feb and March of this year. Not a single thing from my old doctors office! The paperwork that was needed! The stuff from this year doesn't factor in at all!!
So this past saturday the surgeons office leaves me a message. I get stuck waiting until today to call back. I called back at 8:30 am and found out the wrong records were sent and I needed to get it taken care of. I do have some luck, but just barely.
IF the surgeons office can't get my old doctors record copies, I will have to see my new doctor for the next 3 months with a weight supervision. They will let the first 3 months slide due to the fact that I was being seen by doctor.LUCKILY as well, because of the fact I'm waiting on the sleep apnea test (may 2), I'll be able to slick in april, and may, and with the result waiting and approval waiting, june will be gotten in as well. The nurse said the soonest anything is gonna happen at this point is in June.
So, needless to say, I was pretty damned pissed off. End of work day, I go straight to my doctor's office. I go up to the receptionist with a snippity tone and proceed to inform her I have a problem and want to know whats going on. We talk. Then she informs me the information that has my blood boiling, my eyes ready to shoot razor blades and wanting to truely, honestly BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA SOMEONE!
They don't send copies of copies of medical records out!
I was like why the fucking hell wasn't I told this months ago when all this started! (no I didn't swear at her because she wasn't the nurse I normally deal with but I was tight voiced to say the least because she got visibly tensed and tight voiced back, if only she knew what was going on in my mind!). So now I have to go to the surgeon and have them try to get my old no longer in business doctor to send them copies of records that said doctor had already sent out.
AAAARRRRGGGGGG!!!!!!!!! (theres a snarly, growly, grumbly Katt happening at this moment).
IF the surgeon can't get the records, its either gonna be 3 or 6 months set back for me. It will all depend on how well I can hold my temper and get my normally very patient self back into patience mode. NOT something that is going to be easy (and for those that know me, thats saying a lot considering I've been told multiple times I've the patience of a saint. Saint my ass this time, my old hot headed mean self is popping through with this bullshit issue. And yes, a long time ago I was one mean fucking bitch.).
Fun fun fun, happy happy happy, joy joy joy (said with a sickningly sweet voice and snarl on my face).
I may just have to report this new doctors office to the better business bureau, something I've never done, but by the Goddess its coming down to it!
*takes a deep breath*
So anywhoo, things are getting funner all the time. I'm telling ya, I'm gonna be looking like my bro, Karnage, by the time its all said and done and I get surgery. BALD (from ripping my hair out)!
