Learning to have patients
*sigh*
What a learning experience my life is!!!
After spending a lot of time on the phone trying to get some help with my labs, I'm exhausted!!!!
PCP: sent me back to wlsurgeon
WL surgeon: says labs are "not that far off" and I should be fine. Call them if hemoglobin gets down to 5 or 6. 
So after doing a little more research on my own I KNOW that my labs are "that far off" and I need to have it checked out more. So I called the PCP back and ask for a referal to a hemotologist.
Course - its ALL about the money!!!! So he says I have to come in for another appointment for the referal....gggggrrrrr but OK, so I make the appointment. 
Then I also find out the the B1 lab test was messed up and they don't have enough blood to redo it....so I also have to get more blood drawn. I KNOW it's that they don't know how to process the blood for that lab. The poor lab tech was looking through books and even called two different ppl on the phone to figure out what to do.
So, I'll be going back to the pcp on Friday to get the referal and blood drawn and hopefully I'll get sent somewhere that will take this seriously!!!!
