Question- Test?

Any problems doing the tests before surgery? Something funny or angry? Here goes mine. I saw my surgeon on May 2003. He gave me a list of test to do before the surgery. There was nothing on the paper that said when to have those test done. I immediately get the test done. A couple weeks later I get my surgery date. It is for May 2004. I rescheduled my surgery 1 month before the big day. I was graduating 2 days after the surgery. I couldn't make it down the steps of the football stadium. I rescheduled for August 2004. Then they told me to make sure I did the test on their scheduled time. I was not told about this the first time. Just think if I would have shown up on May 2004 for the surgery. I would have been sent back home with no surgery. Here comes the funny parts. I get my second physicological test. This time with a different psychologist. He says he has experience with what he has to do with people that are having surgery. While I am there he is trying to convince me not to have the surgery. He says he doesn't believe in the surgery. I told him I wasn't there for an approval. So he signed it and faxed it. Then my surgeon office calls a couple days before the surgery and says they are missing the EKG. I told them I did it. Well what do you know, my personal doctor did not do it. I ended having it done 2 days before the surgery. Sorry if I wrote too much, but to many things were happening before the surgery. And I was so angry that it took me over 1 year to have it. I know you will all had better luck than I. Hope to hear from all of you.

I didn't have any problems with my tests, my problem was the hospital billing office. They called me two days before surgery and told me i had to pay fifty percent, and i had to have ten grand the day of surgery. How many ppl can come up with that much cash in two days? I asked why they didn't try my second insurance, duh? it took them until 6p.m. the next day to get approval. Thank God, cause if i had to pay i couldn't and wouldn't have ended up the hottie i am today (just kidding) LOL Hugs Linda
