Brandon...
Well he had the MRI yesterday. That would be when they told Dee it'll be 4-5 working days before they can read it.
That pushes the doctors visit, the FIRST doctors visit out to next week. At least a week or so after that before they can do the surgery.
We are beyond mad. Seriously. And before anyone says one thing about "pushing' or "standing up for ourselves" understand this.....we have to play within the system. You are not talking about a bunch of uneducated mealy mouth women here. Mama Vi, Dee and myself are pretty.....ummm outspoken. Some would even say strong. And Dee KNOWS the system. Hell, she even knows the doctors. It's not them. It's the red tape, paperwork and overall system shit.
But we're hog tied. Because Brandon is 19, and was working in a job with no insurance and is not in school there is no insurance. So we are dependent on Government programs. We are grateful for the help but can you say ClusterF*ck?!?!?!
And trust me, there is a post a brewin' about WHY government needs to stay the HELL out of the HEALTHCARE business.
Meanwhile, Brandon is still in a lot of pain. And we are still waiting. And we are still very grateful for your thoughts, prayers and support.....

And I'm with you; I don't think the government should be involved with health care unless it's the VA.
MINUS SIX? My hoo-has would freeze off. Hope you can stay warm! :)
Posted by: pam at February 19, 2008 09:15 AMThere is no way for the doctor to push to get the MRI read?
And let me tell you I am very scared if we get goberment health care. With a cronic disease I am worried what they will do to me.

And government health care-I don't want any group of people who can't make money running a BROTHEL to run my healthcare. Canada and England are finding the problems in waiting for months for the basics.
