Health Care Cronicles

today was another day attempting to understand how anything in health care gets done. after learning that i have to track down my various doctors to have blood work done, i left messages with my gastroenterologist and neurologist. my neurologist got back to me (i wonder if it is because i used to cut his grass as a kid). he was dumbfounded that my GI doctor did not call the labs in. he agreed to send all of his records to my primary care doctor for my labs next week. my GI doctor has not returned my call. he is usually pretty good at getting back to me, but not of late. when i spoke with his nurse last week they told me that my primary care doctor needed to call it in. if i was not on top of all this, nothing would get done. i hope to speak with my GI doctor tomorrow in order for him to send his files on me to my primary care physician. we shall see.
