OK, OK, I know it's all to protect my privacy. But I spent a full 20 minutes working with two nurse LPs this evening, filling up forms so that the Dana-Farber docs can share information with my PCP. A separate form for each doctor at D-F.
And this, after I signed a consent form at D-F allowing and asking them to share my information with my PCP. And I have been advised that I will still probably need to beat them about the head and shoulders (figuratively speaking) every time I'm seen there in order to make sure this happens.
I can open a bank account and apply for a mortgage with fewer bits of paper. Poor trees.
Endoscopy get as of 7/14. After that, there will be nothing left to probe.
At least they are ostensibly talking to each other! Eric has had patients actually get lost because hospitals, nursing homes and PCP's are not on speaking terms. Thanks for these, Lirazel. They are a great gift and your excellent writing only improves with outrage.
