My PCP suxx!
His staff has not cared one iota about keeping up with mine or my sisters medicare requirements tests, muchless the results of all the tests we did at their office, and asked the PCP to referr us for.
This is not right!!!
WTF is up with this???Needless to say that after our surgeries are scheduled and overwith, (hopefully soon) we will be finding another PCP. One that might actually care about the patient instead of money for everytime we visit.
I have called them countless times since the surgeons office contacted me about my test results not being faxed in, and they ask what tests? Well we left a copy for each of our charts of the tests we needed to have for medicare to approve our bypasses. They cant even find these simple papers for either one of us!
WHAT TIME IS IT? DUHHH!
SOMEBODY KICK ME PLEASE... (preferably in the head)
I can only imagine that since Dr. Bakers nurse is calling me wanting these results, it is getting closer for date scheduling.
Yes this is a major stress factor, and no I am not smoking more that 4 a day. I light one take a couple puffs and put it out. I do this with all 4 everyday. It is just old habits die hard I guess. Gotta have that light em and let em burn thing going on. I am using the patch too, but mostly is the letting them burn a minute then put em out thingy going on here. I only take actually about a puff everytime I light up. I know I can stop this too. I tried straws... they melt!

Hey There!
Just wanted to let you know that I totally feel you about your PCC situation! Mine was the same way! I had called my doctors office and asked if I could fax them the list of labs to get for Dr. Baker and they had no problem with it. Then I received a phone call 2 days later from his nurse saying that if I wanted those labs, I could get Dr. Baker to order them myself!
I called Dr. Bakers office and asked his nurse what to do and she gave me the name of a local doctor here in Little Rock (Dr. Robert Kennedy) and I started going to him. He's amazing! Did a complete work up on me the first time I went to see him and I found out more things about myself than I ever knew! My old doctor would literally tell me that the reason why I couldn't breathe and felt like I was dieing if I ever wanted to exercise was because I was fat. Not the case! It's because I have asthma and I have an enlarged heart!
Good luck on your weight loss and quiting smoking! Both are super difficult! So great that you can do this with family too! What a great support system!! :)
