Annoyed with nuerologist!!! - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

Doctor called back, cannot get in till the end of the month and basically said go to er. Great now they can run all these tests again, and maybe just maybe they can get her in sooner than the end off the month.
Nobody gets it if she does not get in and get medical leave there will be no insurance and nobody will get there money, and talk about wasted at minimum3-4 hours.
DON’T THESE NUERO REALIZE WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS with jobs and feelings. They did not feel it was an emergency situation, either that or they they just don’t care this is a bunch of crap.

Walleye,

I'm sorry to here about your wifes situation and her neuro.

You are correct when it comes to getting appointments on an emergency bases.They don't seem to have them or they first reply is go to the ER.

Can you call back and get the neuro or even her GP to get her a leave of absence before having these test done.

Don't apologize for being irrated,your wife is feeling bad and you are doing a wonderful job

no the nuero wants to see her first and then that will be discussed (horse crap!), as far as a family physician she does not have one we go to a urgent clinic.

Something similar happened with me but it was my eye sight. When I went to my appointment and my neuro asked how come I didn't come in sooner I told him that the staff said no and he told me if that happened again I am to tell them to page him. Maybe you can do that to see if you can get your wife in sooner. These people only make appointments and file papers what they feel is an emergency and what the dr feels is an emergency are two different things!

Words from experience here.. Md's offices don't have any sense of urgency regarding paperwork or deadlines. Make them listen. Take the insurance papers to the Dr's office on Monday Morning, there will more than likely be a fee for the Dr to fill them out. She doesn't need to be seen by him at the time you drop them off. Just let them know you need them back ASAP and to call you as soon as they are done. My Dr's office dropped the ball big time with my disability papers and it cost us lots of heart ache head aches and hard times. There is enough stress in your house right now with her not feeling well, you shouldn't have to worry about money at the same time.

Don't take no for an answer. They do this all the time.
I hope in the mean time if you do take her to the ER that they can help her start to feel better

Try to have a relaxing weekend
