Irritated at PCP
Mar 01, 2011
had my most frustrating and irritating morning since surgery. I felt so fragile emotionally. One minute I am pissed then the next I am ready to cry. I had a right to be a upset because my PCP didn't call me and tell me that my labs were off last visit. They did say that they tried to call once (no message was left). So they sent a letter. Well THEY put the wrong address on it and it was returned back to them (didn't put my apartment number on it). I was also informed that they cannot mail me my labs due to HIPPA (which i know all about). But I am willing to sign a waiver stating that I give them permission to send to my current address and release them of any liability. NOPE still wont do it. In order for me to get them I have to drive 40 minutes to pick them up at his office. I am seriously thinking of finding a new PCP.
Also my BP was up again ( I wonder WHY!!) and so he put me back on a BP med. I got it filled but I am half tempted to not even take them. I will though but I will also be watching my BP very closely and how I feel. I am so afraid of starting to feel like crap again after feeling so good the last couple of weeks.
Anyways my Liver tests were elevated and he was sending the letter out to schedule me to have an ultrasound. They were barely a few points over the high end of normal. In my professional opinion I think he should have rechecked them before gong through the extreme of scheduling an ultrasound. I would have refused the ultrasound and demanded him redraw my labs anyways. So because it has been a month since last labs he decided to draw another set. We will see how these are then go from there. Called CNP at surgeons office and let her know as well and that i was having repeat labs and would have my PCP fax them over to her office.
