DH canceled apt. with my GI........

and made one for the end of August with DO. Here's a novel idea, he gets an appointment with the doctor before his colonoscopy.

Now that doesn't seem quite fair

He'll eventually get his in the end anyway.

I've had two procedures but no appointment until the end of August...........

I can relate to that! I ended up with an EGD scope and also a colonoscopy before finally seeing my GI

The last apt. I had was with her nurse practioner and I have another scheduled apt. to see my GI on the 21st and am not sure who will be there when I get there.

Why would DH cancell his apt? If you don't mind me asking. Depending on his age if he's never had one he really should follow through. I know how stubborn they can be but he really should reschedule. Hope things work out for you.

because my GI is just too busy. She does procedures 3 days a week and has office hours one day. DH's rescheduling with new DO GI. I may switch to him, too.

Goodmorning Joan:

How was chat yesterday. Didn't get back from Saginaw until almost 4:30p.m.

Decided to get lab work done while we were already out instead of having to make 2 trips this week. With the price of gas you do everything in one trip.

I really hope this new GI works well for you and DH. It's so important to have someone you trust and can comunicate with. I've been very fortunate with the Dr's I have at this time.

Love Ya!
Jodi

Missed you. Sorry you didn't make it for chat.

Reminds me that I need to call EnterLab again since they never called back!

Hi JLH
That happened to me. The endoscopy unit srewed up my appointments for the procedures for 8 months. I had seen my gi doc 3 times during the wait and he was mortified because he was looking for the results in my file lol!!A total waste of his time due to the endoscopy teams inconsistency. I have an appointment to see my gi doc in 3 months..gave me the diagnosis then said i would see my gp for meds. Gp made the script at the pharmacy and i aint even seen him. Feels like im left to get on with it huh!!!

god my pcs a slug

Agny,

I get the impression from reading your post that your GI doc does not do the colonoscopy exam himself/herself. Over here, SOP is for the GI doc to do his or her own colonoscopy exams. All other tests, though, (except for other endoscopies), are handled by someone else, usually.

Thats right Tex!! different endoscopy/colonoscopy gi doctor that did the test. My gi doctor said that he would instruct the doctor what to look for..also my gi doctor would discuss the outcome with me and not the actual doc that did the procedures...lol does this make sense hehe...lolol

That sure introduces a lot of opportunities for something to be overlooked, or forgotten, in all the confusion. I'll bet the "system" "awards" the "jobs" to the low bidder, so that's why they're separated, (the "jobs", that is).
