Another update on Dave

So, when we left the hospital last Friday, after waiting all day for the doctor to come, the doctor said "come and see me in the office in 2 weeks."

Monday morning, Dave called to make said appointment, and was told Doctor will be out of the country on vacation at that time. The soonest he could get in would be May 13.

Dave is in considerable discomfort from time to time, and doesn't feel normal most of the time because of the shortness of breath.....and he has to wait a month go see the doctor?

No.

SO...since the doctor had said he wanted to review things and order some more tests, Dave decided to call the office back and say " since I was supposed to see the doctor next week so he could order some other testing, but he won't even be here, how about you go ask him to order some tests NOW, so I can go get them done while he's away?"

The office actually cooperated, a test was ordered and scheduled, and Dave had a CTA of the chest done yesterday, down at the heart hospital.

Remarkable.

SO, now Dave plans to call the office again on Monday, and ask to see a different doctor, who is just as capable of reading his records and his test results as the regular doctor.

Hopefully, he will be able to see someone next week, as directed by his primary cardiologist, and maybe get some answers.
