Hi Roberta, I think you meant me ? I did not go to the support group tonight - rain too hard and the tornado warnings yikes! Well no everything is not straightened out. Still no file and I waited two weeks for the paperwork to be sent. Talked to Cindy 8/17 and it was then mailed to me. It was the original paperwork packet! Sheesh I had that- I had photocopied most of my stuff back in 9/05 when I started. ( I called in 5/05 for my info seminar.) So I believe I have most of my file rebuilt - on my own. The surgeons office has left me hanging. My psych report was faxed to them. I included copies of my denial letters from insurance etc. Also put in my appeal letter with a photo of me walking the dog. Letters from my Dr. , letter from me to Dr., receipts, etc. Think they will loose this again? I am hand delivering this packet as I do not trust that they will get it in a timely manner. I no longer think it is funny. It should not have taken two weeks to mail me replacement paperwork. I am extremely disappointed in the office. Very, very unprofessional and if they are overwhelmed then they should hire more staff. I am there only because of Dr. Kirkland. The office staff has left me feeling very disappointed and my experience has been unsatisfactory. I was told in May that I was looking at August surgery date. Then September after my file was lost(but they would find it) because cardiology and pulmonary booked up. Where am I now? Who knows? I have some personal referals for Dr. Abkin and Nannete has recommended some other surgeons to me. At this time I think all my options are open. Seems I do not exist at Dr. Kirkland's office. I hope your experience has been better. Mine can not get worse (or can it?). franni
