Finally Got A Consultation!!

I am jumping up and down......Well not really.............since I cant (Ha Ha Ha)


I finally got a consultation At UCSF!! Unfortunately, its not until 12-29. Yes you heard me right 12-29!!!! I have to wait a F*&^%^ MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!

What ever, I just don't understand. You go to a highly trained Specialist because you have a serious problem that usually needs immediate attention. Yet they are the ones who are "too busy" to see you right away. THAT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME WHAT SO EVER...

It is a complete joke. I guess I am experiencing our wonderful Health care system. I find it kind of STUPID that I could have a diagnosis in my hand, I know what the treatment is and all I need is a Surgeon to fix it. Oh yea, I cant find one. No one knows of one either, so I have to look for one myself and when I finally get one he is too busy to see me right away.

Can you believe they actually had me scheduled for February 2009 until I told them NO THAT WONT WORK FOR ME, I CANT WALK!!! Like I could sit on this for all most 4 months. Oh wait, I ALREADY HAVE. WHY NOT MAKE IT AN EVEN 8 MONTHS!! Which is not unrealistic considering my track record.

There has to be some check and balance to either push Doctors to expedite where needed or a resource to find alternatives for patients. One that can accessed by any Doctor or patient.

You would think with all of our technology this would be easy for Doctors or Hospitals or even Insurance Companies.

What if I was in my late 80S alone? I have limited my mobility and I am taking a lot of heavy medication. I bet I would not be able to get help.

If I did not have the support I have I would not be able to get things done every day and would not be able to get around on the weekends.

How many people with issues like this just give up and compromise quality of life all because they cant find the help they need.

It is frustrating and pisses me off.

ON the lighter side of life: The Ducks won!! The Blazers won!!! What a great Saturday.....

Talk to you later..
