So, I call the doc’s office Monday about noon and explain I
haven’t heard anything about the PET scan. At first I’m asked when I discussed
it with Barbara and I explain it was last Wednesday. Then I’m told “Barbara is
on vacation and the order isn’t posted” and before I can go ballistic the lady
on the phone says “oh, here is the note.” She then tells “me it takes five business
days to schedule a PET scan. The insurance company has to be notified and
approve the scan. Blah, blah, blah.” I don’t want to hear about waiting and
insurance approvals. I want an appointment time. Now.
The yesterday the hospital calls and informs me I’m
scheduled for the scan this Thursday the 24th and 7AM. I can’t eat
or drink for four hours prior to the test and no caffeine for twelve hours
prior. Neither is a problem for me, although I’d have preferred to have the
test today.
About three hours later the doctor’s office calls and wants
to schedule me for an appointment with the doctor for Wednesday 10\29 at 4:15
to discuss the results of the PET scan. Even more waiting.
I hate the waiting, but what can I do but wait?
