Ugh! I am SO ridiculously frustrated and really wondering why doctors send people to the er to sit in lobby for hour on end. My mom and dad i know are not alone. But since his surgery they have been sitting in er’s for at least three days time lost. At least 5 trips or more. 🙁
Today was my dads ct. the radiologist told him he needs to get to er sees pockets of fluid or who knows- its not good. 🙄my dad was like um ok- so he called his doc who ordered ct he said yes you should go -we’ll call ahead and get tell your urologist informed too ct is being sent there now so dad left went home grabbed mom and went up to er that was at 4:15 today. Its 10:14. They are still in lobby- they put an iv thing in his arm and sat him back down in lobby. Meanwhile theres a pandemic.. with corono- dad has cancer and now whatevers going on. My mom has ongoing issues gerd- hiatal hernias- and copd. They are over 70 and shouldnt be sitting there for hours i want to ring a neck! Good news. They approved treatment but now doc thinks might be too close to spine n only kidney left with proton so might mix treatment. My question is hes been sitting waiting so long - have the spots changed? Gotten worse or better will they even check? 😥
