I’m very glad you’re getting somewhere. I finally have a Rheumatology appointment…with a PA. But at least it’s a start. It’s at Dartmouth Hitchcock, which for my region is a much better place to get treatment. No word yet from the hematologist. I find waiting and the lack of communication very frustrating.

Keep being strong and diligent!

That's fantastic news, I'm sure you'll have some answers soon. That does seem to be the case unfortunately. I had a similar issue when it came to my dentist. The supposed X-ray request hadn't been passed over nor did the hospital that I'm now under have any of my recent medical history. Miscommunication is never a good thing and it's especially concerning when it's dealing with your health. Mistakes happen, they are only human after all. It does make you wonder though...

Hi @athenalee I’ve certainly heard of Dartmouth Hitchcock med center! And I’m glad you’re seeing a PA. The one I see at UCHealth is fantastic! Have faith and be positive.
Have you got a notebook with all your questions? Ask for a permit to use the portal as a way to communicate with the PA/doctor.
Is someone going with you as a 2nd set of ears?
Good luck! Becky
