Re: do you keep your computer desktop tudy?
I had a sort of dilemma over this episode…. Dr in question insisting he wanted me to go to a particular hospital. Gave me paperwork for a particular group/company MRI — and they said have never had one at the hospital where he said he wanted me to go.? I sat here and thought do I ring him up and tell me he’s a klutz right off — but then he’s remote and uncontactable on a daily basis and I might wait weeks to see him (next appointment 2 months how urgent can it be). So I had to cross town to go to the companyone that was on the referral paperwork. I have no idea what he is going to think of the fact I ended up at a different hospital in front of a different MRI ….shrugging here.
What a performance. Not happy taking it up with my GP who is much more sensible.? This man joined my old eye Dr and they ended up having a barney and my old eye Dr promptly packed his bags and retired early….. I ?can see why.
