I hand delivered the letter to my 2 Dr's and the hospital, as they are all within 1/4 mile of my apartment. I heard from both of my Dr's, but not the hospital. It is my GP that is supposedly setting up this meeting. I have an appointment with her tomorrow, and she said she would tell me then, when this so called meeting is taking place......
Lisa, he really is a friend, but seeing how the hospital is his client, and has been for a long time, there really isn't anything that he can do... This was just not in the cards, that's all....
I have decided to go forward with this... I am not suing, I don't believe in that, unless it's something really serious.... I do want the truth, the TOTAL truth. I am not into pointing fingers, or placing blame, but I want the Dr's and hospital to admit the fact that they screwed up... I want to make sure that the Lab Tech did not get fired, for telling me what he did, and if he did, I want him reinstated immediately, and I want them to do 1 of 2 things...I want them to NOT charge my insurance Co, for the time I spent in the hospital, or I want them to cover the cost IF I need to go back in to have these test repeated...
Yes, repeated...On Monday morning, I called my Endo's office, and DEMANDED that she call me back by noon time. She called at 11:30. She spent 1/2 hour on the phone with me, explaining her side of this mess, and then she told me that looking over what test results she did have, that it looks like I will need to be readmitted. But, she said she will wait for the 24 hour urine catch test to process first, and that takes 2 weeks....She *THINKS* I may have tumors on my Pancreas, and this is how they test for them.....I called Pandora the other day, and have talked to another friend that is a nurse, and they both said, "Why in the hell can't they just do an Ultra Sound to determine that?" I will ask my GP tomorrow, and she if she has the answer to that question.
Personally, I think this whole meeting has the stink of CYA syndrome......Cover Your Ass!!!!!!!
