LOL Joe - sorry! I know, Dr. Oakley is So Really Nice, but the main reason I

am going to Bowling Green is because of Dr. Hess.

I just didn't want to get on her " bad side " since she and I have been getting

along very well so far, and I certainly didn't mean to be nosey about another

patient, or to put her on the spot, or to imply she did something wrong, but

I want Dr. Hess and I want her to be absolutely sure that I told her that.

She said 's situation wasn't exactly true, so I am thinking perhaps

was always scheduled with Dr. Oakley, but they didn't make that perfectly

clear to him and he may have assumed he was scheduled with Dr. Hess. That is

because I told the office I wanted Dr. Hess and they originally had me

scheduled for Feb. 22nd, and when I called to talk to Dr. Hess himself (since

I didn't see him for my consult, either), he told me he was going to be out

of town all of Feb. and I told him that I was upset about that since I had

told his office I wanted HIM!

I don't know, but I felt like the little kid getting yelled at by the

teacher when she said she was not going to discuss another patient with me.

She didn't even give me a chance to explain how I learned about 's

situation.

I really think they need another phone line and another full-time person to

be available to patients for their questions all the time, not someone who is

trying to do everything and get to the phone when she finally has a chance.

Maybe Dr. Hess patients can let him know that this would be so helpful to his

patients? Sometimes I worry what it will be like when I have to call

post-op, if as he gets busier, the busy signals will last longer??

Post op if you have a problem and can't get through or don't get an answer,

call the hospital. They find the docs right away!

Carole, be careful what you wish for. I remember not long ago people were

complaining on the list about how much some doctors charge. Someone said

that Dr. Hess wasn't like that. WELL, if he got everything above, I'm sure

he would have to raise his fees. Don't forget the money a doctor gets for

his services also has to support his office staff and all office expenses.

Maybe this is why some of the doctors who have all the bells and whistles

charge so much.
