Oct. 30th surgery cancelled ;o(

Oct 28, 2009

I was on my way out the door to sign my surgery consent forms when the phone rang and 8:32 am. It was my surgeons office calling to tell me that my surgery was cancelled because the Dr. was unaware that he was scheduled to be out of town that day? Unbelievable! This office cancelled my doctor appts 3 times this summer. May, june and july. But now my surgery? I accepted a rescheduled date of Nov. 13th. What else was i supposed to do? I didnt even get a 48 hour advanced notice! To add fuel to the fire I received 3 automated phone calls today reminding me of my Oct. 30th surgery . I also had a sarcastic voice mail message from one of the girls in the office telling me that i missed my 9am consent signing appt! She said I had until 4pm today to show up for my missed appt. I called her and said you obviously have NO communication in your office because my surgery was cancelled and I was told that someone would be calling me to rescedule the consent appt. She actually laughed? I am sooooo upset about this whole situation. All the arrangements that were made for the next couple of weeks have to be remade? I dont even know if it will be possible to get the help that i need because of the schedules that have to be rearranged for the new surgery date. I just needed to vent. I'm feeling over whelmed and sad.
