The Doctor didn't what?????

So my doctors office called and told me that my appointment was scheduled for November 26th at OU Medical at 3:00 pm.  I then turned and called my hubby to let him know.  We were both really impressed that I got in so quickly.  I had to make a few phone calls to change a couple of appointments and then we were set.

One of the pluses of having a doctors appointment in OKC is that hubby and I stop by Ted's Mexican.  Love there food.  So we took off the afternoon, stopped for lunch and then went to OU Medical Center.  Actually we went to Peggy and Charles Stephenson Cancer Center.  It's on the OU Medical Center Campus.  Great facility.  You walk in and it's nice, bright, cheery.  Well, as happy as one can be when dealing with cancer and other medical issues.  It took a while to find Dr. Vasan's office.  All I was told was where to go and when, I wasn't told a room or floor number...but we found it.  With help from an OK State fan by the way...yep had to throw that in.

 

So I got checked in, filled out some paper work and just as I sat down the nurse came out and got us (hubby and I).  Had my temp taken, blood pressure , weighed (I asked if I could skip it considering I just ate Mexican food...didn't work) and then back to our room.  We only had to wait a couple of minutes if that.  Then came in Dr. Vasan.

It was nice to see him again, of course I wish it would have been under different circumstances.  We briefly chit chatted.  I told him I was now in physical therapy because of some of the problems I'm still having with my arm and his wasn't surprised.  He said with the surgery I had it was to be expected.  We chit chatted a little more, then he looked at my scar and was pleased with the way it has healed and then we got down to business.

His first question was...so what brings you in today.  I looked at him funny and then looked at Paul.  All I could think was............you tell me.  So I explained to him what has happened over the past several weeks.  I had a MRI done because of the pain I was in, told him about the fluid that was detected, explained to him about the Ultra Sound, and then he looked at me and said...you didn't by any chance bring any films or reports did you?  I looked at Paul and then at Dr Vasan and said....no, it should have been sent with the referral.  Then the boom happened....I was told that it wasn't.

Wait, what?  They didn't send the report(s) with the referral?  How do you forget to do something like that?  Now I'm feeling crushed and like the appointment was a waste of time.  Why did we drive to the City for nothing.  Dr. Vasan can't do anything without the report or running his own tests.  Good Lord, now what am I going to do?  I felt completely crushed.  I really felt like I did when I was first diagnosed with cancer.  I went from this doctor to that doctor back to this doctor.  I felt like nobody knew what they were doing.  Almost like I was falling through the cracks...ugh!!!  The frustration!!!
