Well it happened again. I went since 11:00 p.m. lat night without food or drink and got up at 6:00 a.m. to drive to my eye surgery at 7:30 a.m.
After waiting until 8:20 a.m. they finally came and got me, put me on the damned hard ass table, gave me a Zantac and I waited and waited. Finally at 9:30 a.m. they came in and said they couldn't do the G#&#*^& Surgery because of my heart condition!!!! :mad: They said they had a call in to my heart Dr. Dr. Katz and he hadn't answered back.
I blew my flippin TOP!!!! :mad: I told them I was cleared for a G$#&%*^ Major Back Surgery in October and went through it with no problems at all among several other heated and to the point details. I didn't quite have them all backed against the walls but I could tell they were not getting any closer to me than absolutely necessary!!!! :mad:
I jumped off their G#$*&%^ table, jerked off the EKG monitors, got my walking stick and left. One of the nurses followed us damned near all the way to the car telling Barbie that I wasn't in no condition to drive while Barbie was telling the nurse I was just fine.
The massive amount of adrenilin I had in my bloodstream more than out weighed any effects of a pissy little Zantac tablet I guarantee!!!! :mad:
When we got in the house I asked Barbie to hand me the phone which she did and I immediately called Dr. Katz office and talked with Tammy and then I did get G&%*($%^ed HOT!!!! :mad:
Tammy said she had told them that I had a cardiac clearance for surgery and to go ahead with it as planned. They balked at that and then Tammy told the *Ignorant Sumbitches* that she had a hard copy that she could fax over to them and they still weren't accepting her offer.
There was *Absolutely No G*&%$#^ed reason I couldn't have had the surgery this morning, None at all, Nada!!!! :mad:
Now I have to wait and reschedule the damned thing so here I set pissed off and aggravated.
There's no damned wonder so many of us hate so many damned Drs' and their damned bueracratic ways.
I can't blame them for wanting to cover their asses but by GOD when they are offered a legitimate Cardiac Clearance and then balk at it something is G*&%$#^ed wrong somewhere!!!! :mad:
I'm still not the least bit sleepy, so much for their pissy ant little Zantac pill. Hell as many pain pills as I have taken for the severe chronic pain I've had in the past it's gonna take a considerable dose of anything to make me sleepy and a danger to myself.
As to others that will remain to be seen. I need to go chop something big!!!! :mad:

So anyway, thanks to all for all the positive thoughts for the surgery I was supposed to have had this morning. When I get settled down I may stop and realize there may have been another reason it wasn't supposed to take place this morning but sometimes it's just some dumbass person making waves and causing chaos were none need exist just because they can.:thumbdn: :grumpy:
 
Welcome to the USA!!!!!:rolleyes:


Based on a comparison of health care systems in six nations, the 2005 Commonwealth Fund International Health Policy Survey found that America led the rest in inefficient care and medical errors.

Improper Treatment 34 Percent of the Time

Researchers interviewed patients who had a serious condition that required intense medical treatment or had been admitted to a hospital for a condition other than a routine pregnancy.

Patients in this country received the wrong medication, inaccurate or delayed test results, and improper treatment 34 percent of the time.
A third of the patients polled reported higher rates of disorganized care in their physician's offices.
Americans also spent more on medical expenses than those in the other countries, with more than half unable to see a doctor or take prescribed medicines.
12 Percent Spread

The spread between the United States and countries with lower error rates was fairly wide, with a 12 percent difference between Britain, which had the lowest rate of errors, and the United States. The American rate was driven up by fairly frequent test and medication errors.

Of 13 countries in a recent comparison, the United States ranks an average of 12th (second from the bottom) for 16 available health indicators. More specifically, the ranking of the US on several indicators was:

13th (last) for low-birth-weight percentages
13th for neonatal mortality and infant mortality overall
11th for postneonatal mortality
13th for years of potential life lost (excluding external causes)
11th for life expectancy at 1 year for females, 12th for males
10th for life expectancy at 15 years for females, 12th for males
10th for life expectancy at 40 years for females, 9th for males
7th for life expectancy at 65 years for females, 7th for males
3rd for life expectancy at 80 years for females, 3rd for males
10th for age-adjusted mortality
The poor performance of the US was recently confirmed by a World Health Organization study, which used different data and ranked the United States as 15th among 25 industrialized countries.

There is a perception that the American public "behaves badly" by smoking, drinking, and perpetrating violence." However the data does not support this assertion.

The proportion of females who smoke ranges from 14% in Japan to 41% in Denmark; in the United States, it is 24% (fifth best). For males, the range is from 26% in Sweden to 61% in Japan; it is 28% in the United States (third best).
The US ranks fifth best for alcoholic beverage consumption.
The US has relatively low consumption of animal fats (fifth lowest in men aged 55-64 years in 20 industrialized countries) and the third lowest mean cholesterol concentrations among men aged 50 to 70 years among 13 industrialized countries
 
next time... bring a kobra with you - there's your clearance :>

let's hope they don't try to bill you for flea circus of theirs. better yet, BILL them :)

how many hours at $65/hr did you wate? tell them that's the discount :) since hosptials are so keen on bill collectors, give them 29 days net to pay, and sell the claim to a bill collector :)

but seriously next time, perhaps you can have 2 copies of the hardcopy on you, and maybe even have your doctor BE there to rip them a new one.

grr on your behalf.

Sorry you went throuh the ringer, Yvsa. Bill em for your invested time for following prep proceedure, travel time, mileages, wife's time, lost wages if any, etc.. Make it payable on demand/receipt.

P.S. I fired my Doc Wedensday, because of his idiot staff.

DaddyDett
 
Sorry to hear that Yvsa. Can't believe the same thing happened again. Wow.

HD. Interesting stats.
 
good thing you didn't have the stick with you that looks like mine!

the fickle finger of fate writes in the sand, and moves on.....
 
Yvsa, reckon Dr. Katz can give you something in hard copy with his signature on it to take with you next time? Might come in handy. Sorry about your aggravation, but you don't know if it might not have been the great spirit intervening for some reason or another. You had every reason to get mad, but no reason to stay mad, that's just unhealthy. Grab your fishing gear and go get some good old fashioned "therapy" watchin' bobbers dance and rod tips twitch. :D Those of us that pray, know that prayers get answered, whether we like or understand the answer or not.

Sarge
 
Sarge, there you go, giving good advice again.:thumbup:

Yvsa, I'll bet that the anger and frustration that they caused you was more damaging to your heart than a piddly little cataract surgery. So sorry that it worked out like that.:grumpy: But like Sarge says, we often don't understand why things happen. The doctor could have had something happen to him and gouged out your eyeball.

But incompetence and bureaucratic ass-covering does frost your nuts.:mad:

Steve
 
Sorry to hear that. But like Sarge said, don't stay mad... it is unhealthy. Good luck on the next try.

Alan
 
:eek: :mad: Sorry, Yvsa.

Maybe there's another reason. Who really knows?

Maybe Bishwakarma didn't get the cosmic fire hot enough to pound on YOUR steel today.


Mike :p
 
I had cataract surgery back in May. I was told that I had to have an EKG and other tests within 10 days of the surgery.

Good luck with the surgery. I wish that my doctor gave me Zantac.

I just wish that I had the surgery earlier. It is much better to see well.
 
I'm sorry to hear that, Yvsa. What a crappy deal!

Actually, my dad is a Doc, and he shares your aggravation. He is of the opinion that most doctors are impersonal, arrogant SOB's. But even more, he's frustrated with the medical institution. The regulations from above that make doctors put patients through all the Schitt that they do. I feel for you, man.

Take it easy, and chop some stuff. Always makes me feel better.

Chris
 
Maybe some of us should accompany you as CKA (Certified Khukri Attendents) and explain there concern over your cardiac condition is secondary to a concern about them being able to button the shirts or pick their noses!:mad: :thumbdn:

Smoke going up for you in one minute, edutsi.

Update: The driveway was dry and as I carried the sandelwood incense out to my regular incense burning location I was thinking of doing some green wood too when suddenly it started to rain. OK - I'll burn it in the garage.
I'm sure it means nothing, but that was the hardest incense I've ever lit. I had to light it three times.
Incense lit and burning and WHAT THE HELL? Up comes the wind blowing the neighbor's cardboard boxes on another neighbor's roof and down comes the rain!!
 
Yuh nSuh?

First rule: "Do no harm."

Nothing there about "don't piss off the ndn."


I'm sorry for your frustration, and the time lost, and the general sense of dealing with incompetents, but you are no worse off than you were before, and we all think you are a sweetie.

Gotta be worth something, eh?


Be well and safe.
 
Well I did finally get over the worst of the anger but then got pissed again just now.
I absolutely hate it when some sumbitch lies to me!!!! :mad:
A little while ago Denise from the eye Drs' office called and told me their version and said she had called my cardiologist's office to ask about the cardio clearance and said she was told that they were working on it.
BullScHIT!!!! :mad:
It wasn't 3 minutes later when Tammy from my cardiologist's office called and said she was faxing them the cardio clearance over just as she had offered to send them this morning.
Working on it Hell!!!! It was ready to go, signed, sealed, and delieverable within a matter of moments.:rolleyes: :mad: :mad:

What I think was that the Drs' office had churned too many patients and had too many of us scheduled for surgery this morning to possibly do so I was the odd man out.:mad:
I had much rather they told me, Mr Gigagei we scheduled too many patients for surgery this morning and the Dr. isn't going to be able to do yours today, sorry for the inconveience so here's a gift certificate to the OutBack Steakhouse for you and your wife to go have a big steak on us.:thumbup:

You can bet your sweet bippy's that I'll damned sure have something to say the next time surgery is scheduled and I show up before time like I did this morning.
I'm gonna also tell them if they want me drowsy they had better damned sure give me something a lot stronger than a little pissy ant size Zantac.:rolleyes:
Hell we came home and my Barbie fixed me a nice breakfast of toast and eggs and apple butter that I scarfed right on down.
Then I got on here and finished the post that I had started and then read the forums and then played with the dog a little.
Then I was still pretty uptight so I told Barbie, "Let's go for a walk." so we walked around the block. I would've went around twice as I was still wound up but I didn't want to push myself and over do just because I was pissed off.
Finally at 1:30 p.m. I layed down and took an hours nap. Now I'm ready for another turn around the block.
It's not only good for me and Barbie but also good for the dog as it helps keep his toenails worn down a little.
Cutting Ace's toenails is almost as bad as pulling Hen's teeth!!!! ;) :D
 
Strange how things work out. I got up this morning to get a eye exam for my diabetes. I hadn't been there 15 minutes, when the Eye specialist says to his nurse "OH shit, cancel my patients for the next hour, I'm doing surgery!" He spent 10 minutes rather frantically preparing me for surgery, and then lasered my left eyeball for about 20 minutes more. Seems that I was hemorraging all over the back of the left retina, but that he caught it in time. Anyone see any irony in this one???
 
Hi Yvsa:

I'm so sorry to hear about you trouble with the doctor. To say they were inconsiderate is an understatement. You sure have a right to be pissed. I hope you are feeling better soon.
