Guest guest Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 In would be intersing to know how many AVS Dr L has done at the VA and what VA Dr requested they be done. > > I'll start by conceding to you Francis, you might be right - my glass is half empty this morning! > > Yesterday afternoon the IR's secretary called to schedule the AVS for February 22 (if you remember, The chief Endo told me they " couldn't schedule until early Feb. " a couple weeks ago and I pushed him since I will be off spiro for 6weeks Feb 3d. (Dr. B - Strike 1) > > I asked her who was doing the procedure and she confirmed it is Dr. Lenz. I asked her if he did all AVS's for the VA & DHMC. Her response, " Oh no, he only works at the VA now " . (Dr. B - Strike 2) > > Chief of Endo (Dr. told me they would provide me written instructions so I asked her and she said all I needed is to show up! (Dr. L - strike 1) I said, " surely they will want me fasting! " ! Her response " well of course " like everybody knows that! I asked her about being off MCBs, ACEI and ARBs. Her response was " ofcourse you should stay on your BP meds, what are MCBs " I told her she should check with Dr. L. because that was contrary to what the Hypertension Primer 4th edition says! " What about asprin? " " Probably " (Dr. L - strike 2). > > I then asked who would be doing the surgery if warrented and she said she had no idea, she didn't schedule that which is appropriate for her but I asked Dr. B for that and he said Dr. L would have all that info. > > She decided she better have Dr. L call me and we finally agreed on something!
