another few months to wait for Savoie

Going on vacation and will be gone for a week.  I called the office and she said to call this number- 544-3710 and to let them know.   I'm afraid to miss my call.

The lady at that number said that I won't get a call before the end of August, September or even October.

I'm kinda sad.

I phoned Sharon today and she said that my file is still at his office and that he did drop 100 more files off at the diabetic clinic and mine could be in that pile. So I probably won't see Dr. Savoie until next year. I don't understand where all this files are coming from when I asked in April how many people and his secretary said about 150. Now it seems he has around 300. I guess we just keep riding that roller coaster ride!
 

I feel for you Stephanie

Hi, Rachel -

When did you first see him?

I know it seems like a long way off.  I had my little temper tantrum a while back, so I'm a little calmer now, and can see that really, September isn't all that far off :)

Hang in there Rachel,

As your angel - I am waiting with you.  I did it before and I am gonna do it again with you.  Keep your eye on the prize and keep doing what you need to do to get to where you need to be.  Honest - it won't be long now. 

Ann

thank you Ann!   that is so sweet.

Anita Lynn-  I had my consult on November 20th.   I'm just afraid cause when I call, no one wants to take ownership and I don't know where my "file" is... and after the incident with whitneyb, i'm just afraid.    I called Corinne Degrace at the pre admin that told me in April to call her in May... I waited until yesterday to call her.  I told her that we're going on vacation for a week and I don't want to miss my call and she said, we don't have "all' the files yet so call Dr. Savoie's office.   I left a message to call me back and they didn't so I called this morning.   She said, we sent all the files to the hospital so they're probably on their way or already there so call them.     I just feel like they are brushing me off and when she said end of august, sept. or October, I felt that was a little vague and that she probably wanted to say, chill out honey!

Ah well, it will be my time sometime and like you said Ann... keep your eyes on the prize.

I hear you there Rachel about the files etc.  I am so glad for Sharon keeping my information that I had given her awhile back and she dug around because initially I had called what was Dr Savoie's Temp office awhile back and the secretary then told me that my file was there yadda yadda so I trusted her with it as the number then that she had given me for a fax number was 506-544-2000 and come to find out when I was speaking with Sharon she checked that fax number and said she thought it was the main fax number for the hospital itself and if that was the case then my first referral back January 2nd may have gone to the Diabetic clinic and they would have thought it was just the regualr clinic visit and put it in that file instead of to Dr Marc Savoie.  So that is why she suggested that I get my family doctor to resend the initial fax and make sure it is stamped jan 2nd so that it doesn't just get put on the new pile and I loose 4 months or so of waiting.  The number that you are calling for Dr Savoie is it for the Diabetic clinic now?  Or is there a different number for him alone?  I know it is going to be awhile before I get my first consult but knowing now that I am finally there (via Sharon's information with talking to someone in the Diabetic Clinic) gives me a better feeling.  At least there is no more of the uncertainty looming around in my head.  So here is to hoping things fall into place for all of us.

Hugs
Beth

well I'm assuming I'm ok because I actually had my initial consult.  I'll call again towards the end of August because by that time, they should have my file.
