Guest guest Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 BJ... I didn't fill out sheets for my family.... that would be tiresome! I have no siblings and for my kids it was just checking the box for what they have as illness. There is a lot of paper work ok but once it's done...it's done. No, my Dr didn't sign off on what I filled out. The MC contacted him. From: Beverley Joy Sent: Sunday, December 20, 2009 3:45 PM To: Breathe-Support Subject: Re: Dr. Raghu Sher, In this case I didn't learn anything except for looking at my kidneys. I wouldn't have known where they were if he hadn't shown me. At least he knew that I was tired without my having to tell him.When you filled out the medical history sheet for the UWMC did you have to have your doctor sign it? I didn't know it would be so difficult. I had to make a separate sheet for my medications and another for my brothers and sisters and my children. One space for each just isn't enough. I had 5 siblings and 4 children.Beverley Joy,71, UIP,NSIP 1-09,Diabetes,Sjogren's,Fibromyalgia Idaho From: Verizon Email <bofus6 (AT) verizon (DOT) net>Subject: Re: Re PattiTo: Breathe-Support@ yahoogroups. comDate: Thursday, December 17, 2009, 1:04 PM We are so lucky to be near a teaching hospital..

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I'm sure you are not disappointed in Quality Inn...DON'T forget to confirm your shuttle time. We had such a go around because 'someone' did not put us on the list. They had to pay a Taxi to take us to the MC! Isn't it nice to meet a member? My Jan appt was changed yesterday. I'll be going on the 28th now...Jan. Sure hope the roads will be ok then. We had 5' snow yesterday! Melting today. Chat with you later.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I had a shuttle problem too. The pharmacy told me my medicine would be done in 10 or 15 minutes so I called at 10 to 1 for the one o'clock shuttle. the pharmacy took a half hour. I got out just as the shuttle was leaving. I called Bob and went to the office and talked to them. They said that they would send the 2 o'clock. I went out at two and waited in the cold for twenty minutes. No one came so I called the offices. they said he would be right there. He came about ten minutes later. He was a different driver and I liked him better. He said they had just told him 5 minutes before. He offered to take us anywhere we wanted to go free but Bob didn't want to be in a motel room in Seattle let alone anywhere outside the room. He's no fun at all. We were so close to Seattle Center and a free shuttle. I hope you can meet when you go the next time. I don't know about between where you are and Seattle but it rarely snows in the Seattle area. It's just the getting there.Beverley Joy,71, Birds and mold 1-09,Diabetes,Sjogren's,Fibromyalgia Idaho From: Verizon Email <bofus6 (AT) verizon (DOT) net>Subject: Re: Re PattiTo: Breathe-Support@ yahoogroups. comDate: Thursday, December 17, 2009, 1:04 PM We are so lucky to be near a teaching hospital..
