I've told myself to calm down...to not get mad, which I usually don't, but I'm fuming right now. I've been waiting for a week now to hear back from my doc, who was supposed to call my neuro regarding me getting the IVIG for this stupid Parvo infection that is wrecking my joints. I called on Tuesday and reminded his nurse, but still didn't hear back, so I just called again.

Apparently my doc isn't in today but yesterday he left a note for his nurse to set up a call between him and the neuro for tomorrow. He has basically sat on it for a week without doing diddly, while I've been sitting at home...I'd say tapping my fingers on the table, but that is an impossibility with the condition that they are in. It is hurting a lot to type this but, but, but...I just need to vent.

My parting comment to the nurse was that if my doc doesn't talk to the neuro tomorrow, or if in fact he doesn't intend to, to at least take the initiative and put in the order for the IVIG himself; or to prepare my records because I'll be getting another doc.
That got them moving (I over heard them talking while I was on the phone). Probably because I am also a medical practitioner in this town and there is the potential for negative publicity among fellow practitioners not shining a kind light in his direction.

Sheesh. Its times like this that I wonder why some docs are so casual about things with their patients; especially when they aren't that way with their own family members. I know that they aren't because when one of their own needs treatment at my office, they want them to get in ASAP...and even ask for our practitioners to stay late or to reschedule someone, so 'theirs' can get in.

How's that for a rant?
Passing on the cheese...I'm going for the real wine.
