[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 635544, member: 4152"] Hi Lucky, that is such a very sad story. How awful! Thank goodness you are around to even tell the story. I know doctors sacrifice much and are a blessing, but it does seem that there are a fair share of mess ups as well. I've heard doctor/hospital error is something like the third leading cause of death in the U.S...and I had a close relative die as the result of medical error....so I'm sensitive to it. Early this morning ,the secretary called and agreed that they never answered my original question. Seems my GP forwarded blood work and asked them if they would follow up with a scan. However, she said something kind of questionable and defensive regarding when they got this original request. I immediately agreed to the scan and let it go about who sent what when. Then she did something weird. She said that maybe I don't need the scan if I have recent blood work from another doctor. So, I just sent them blood work I had last month. But, my senses are acute because I don't think they should of gotten defensive about my original question or acted peculiar about it. Now, I'm trying to simply take the test and let it all go. I suppose its impossible to find out what is going on behind the scenes...just know in my heart that this is peculiar. Oh well. I pray I'm ok. I think I am. [/QUOTE]
