Results By Phone? Really Docs?
So, after I had my ultrasound and some other intstrument listen to the blood flow in my arms, I was to go back to the doc and have him tell me the results.
When I saw him the results were done but they had not been sent up to him yet. He told me he would call me with the results. He also said he wanted to operate on me for it.
So...no one ever called me.
I called his office and the nurse was weirded out by me calling since I had seen the doctor after the test and should have surely been told about the results. I reminded her that the results were in fact done but that he did not have them in his hands. She gave me his physican assistants number to call for the results.
So i played phone tag with that assistant and finally he was able to reach me today and, guess what, he didn't have the results in his hands.
I got so mad. Why are you calling me without having the results in your hand?
He said he just remembered that the blood flow was restricted by having my arms over my head.
I asked if veins and arteries and he said he only remembers veins on there.
I am sure I had arteries done too.
He said it is all an art and not a science. Surgery helps roughly 70 percent of people. If it affects your life have surgery.
So apparently it is all my call.
Could I have some help on what the test can actually tell us? How do I compare maybe to others? Where did you see it contstrict exactly?
How can I trust them with surgery if they wont' even tell me about this test? geesh!
