Spent 40 min on the road to get to the VA Hosp for an appointment.Took a seat and said they would be bringing me in shortly. After an hour and 45 minutes of being told "only 10 more minutes", they finally shuffled me in to have an ultrasound done. I told them that had I known I would have just rescheduled for a better time. They then informed me that the doctor won't see me on Friday without the ultrasound first. HUH??? I have to come back??? Turns out that I have to go to the vascular clinic on Friday now but they won't see me without a new ultrasound. The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing anymore. And all of this is for a follow-up to the surgery I had in January! Since I have managed to get through the last 8 months OK why is it a big deal now? I already know the arteries in my head are falling apart, are they just trying to hasten it? Left the house at 1130 and got home at 4:35, what speedy service for a 15 minute test!
Government medical care at it's finest! Grrrrr!
