If so, why has this not been on the news. There is so much disinformation nowadays, that I am puzzled
Why haven't these atrocities been publicized?
In other news, when I went to the cardiologist, the np said that the heart block was not new. The last test I had there months ago showed the same thing. The doctor had not informed me. I sat with my mouth open for a bit. I was shocked, told her so, and that he should have discussed this with me. She said nothing.
Are you familiar with the Lurlene Wallace? Her husband was George Wallace, governor of Alabama. She had breast cancer. Her husband decided he did not want to worry her, so she died of breast cancer. And, the doctor allowed information to be kept from his patient to please the husband. I was shocked at this information and cried for her 60 years after the fact.
She also said she suspected I had lymphedema. Funny thing, when I asked about this years ago, and many times since, each doctor said, no, I did not. How do they know? No one tested me. Or examined me for it.
The np practitioner at the cardiologist gave me a list of tests to come back and have at their office. "Call me at this number if you have any questions." So, I called and the people told me the stress test would only take 15 minutes, so a 30 min appointment would be sufficient. I argued with the list of tests in my hand that I was not scheduled for a stress test, that I had already had one. Well, they know better than I. Also, I had to tell them exactly what questions I had and they would ask the np. Never mind I had a half dozen questions that would probably have follow-up questions. She said, "I am going to tell the np that you refused to tell me what questions you had." So, it has been over a week and the np has not called back. I am baffled as to how to get past these minimum wage workers.
But, tonight, I figured it out. I will call and press any other button to get me somewhere else in the office and tell them that I need her to return my call. I know this won't turn out well for me, but I will try. There is always the office manager...lol.
Have you faced the initial contact who is argumentative and refused to give you an appointment to suit the tests? I can read and there is no stress test! And, a stress test is 15 min in the machine, plus, the insertion of the needle with meds, and the waiting time for the machines and people to push a person about. I was on a gurney, so it is not like they want me wandering about on my own.
