Getting the doc you want to Kaye

[Guest guest]

I have been reading your post but have been sleeping so much since

Sunday afternoon, dont know what has gotten into me, but I have been

sleeping constantly. Hope its passed now, Ihave got so much to do to

prepare my family for my absence next week. I usually cook a bunch

of meals and pack them away in the freezer. This weekend I have

plans for both Sat and sun, so I really need to snap out of it, wake

up and get busy.

Well this is what you need to do for the doc you want to see. Call

them every day, say around 10ish or so and ask if there is a

cancellation. And I mean EVERYDAY. They will eventually get you in

just to shut you up...LOL. Besides, when they check the answering

machine in the morning when they come in at 9 its takes about 30

minutes to decide what to do about the cancellations. Usually they

dont call people in unless there are a lot. They like the down

time. But if you are calling, and calling often, your name will

quickly become a fixture around there.

I hope you feel better soon. Have you mentioned to Cotton all that

is going on with your pain issues. I think that he would be very

upset to learn that you are having such troubles. Also a letter from

him explaining your condition may change the attitudes of some of

those jerky docs.

Take care and keep in touch.

Warmly,

Actually I had asked him if my doc was willing to work with him

would he be willing and he has no problem with that. Its just my

family doc doesn't want to do any pain management! Geeze what

happened to medicine inthe last few years.

I may try the cancellation thing. That might just work. The case

worker for the insurance company is going to try some of her magic

tricks. Don't know if it will work but we will see.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. I wish you well with your

surgery and you are in my prayers. I still won't ever forget how

good of care you took of me.

God bless
