Guest guest Posted March 23, 2002 Report Share Posted March 23, 2002 Robin, one last suggestion, I went to the SCVIR web site and found an e-mail address for the IR. That way I was able to e-mail him directly (this was even before I had a referral to see him). This allows you to communicate directly with the IR and can skip the " front desk " people in the department. If you can't find the person on the SCVIR web site, sometimes you can go to the specific hospital's web site and e-mail people from there.
