MUST BE NICE

Warning---this is a complete rant.  Similar to half of my posts when I talk about my doctors.

I've decided to come up with unoriginal nicknames for my doctors because I do not like using actual names on here.

Primary doctor will be Doctor P (get it?)
Vascular doctor will be Doctor C (for the blood clot....decided C because B and P can be confused)
Gastro doctor will be Doctor I (for my insides)

Yes I'm really clever and yes, I hate that I have to come up with nicknames but I've come to terms with it.

ANYWAY, I got a ultrasound on FRIDAY and I'm sitting here at 3 oclock on Tuesday without ANY word from Dr. P about the results of said ultrasound.  Now the other two times I have gotten these done, I have found out what the results were before I left the offices.  I figured because I was at a different office then I wouldn't find out the results right away, expecting a phone call on Monday morning.  When I came back from the services yesterday without a message waiting for me about what the ultrasound said, I got a little upset.  I called, had issues with the phone lines, got even more pissed off.  I can't remember if I left a message or not, I think I did but who knows.  

I expected  a phone call this morning.  Which resulted in nothing.  I called Dr. C's office about fifteen minutes ago and his secretary if she had heard anything from Vanessa.  She had not, and told me the minute they found out anything she would call me.   She reassured me that I was not being a pain which was nice to hear.  I guess Dr. P called Dr. C three times over the course of Thursday and Friday to find out about my Warfarin levels and how that is interacting with my steroids.  But still hanging up the phone left me unsatisfied, because I still don't know what the deal is with the ultrasound.

Another attempt was made to talk to Dr. P and after reaching the office, I was told that she was gone till tomorrow.  I understand that some may find my annoying the doctors silly, but I need answers.  It must be nice to go on a little extended leave from the office without letting one of your patients, who is waiting on results from a test YOU ordered, know that you would be out of the office.  I do not expect Dr. P to plan her life around me, that's not what I'm asking.  I am asking for her to understand that I have been waiting for four days for the results of the ultrasound that I was not scheduled to have on Friday.  I have been understanding, I have been a little ticked off, now I'm just mad.  And even though I want to do everything to contradict what they are telling me because I do not trust them, I know that's not what's best for me.  I am still doing what I was told all those weeks ago, but I am losing faith in doctors.  

To end my rant, UCONN won their first round game of the Big East Tourny.  I LOVE it this time of year (I hope you read that with Pauly D's voice in mind).  March Madness is in full swing and as a avid college basketball fan, I could not be happier
