Frustrated with my doctors

I am pretty low maintenance as well and don't bug them for much. My frustration was more with my PCP's staff. As for Valin's group, other than the fact I haven't seen him since the hospital stay, I've had no issues. I was a little frustrated with the fact that they said they would fax me the results and it took a week to get them. I think Valin is a great surgeon.

Whenever I get my bloodwork done I make sure to let the lab tech know to cc me a copy of the results, either via snail-mail or fax. I have to sign a consent form every time but I get my entire lab results at the same time my surgeon/PCP gets them. Short answer - be pro-active and take full responsibility for your health by becoming as informed and knowledgeable as you can. Best of luck. Maureen
