Call Nohr EVERY single day. Don't let them forget you. Hey, you can always share my hospital bed (in 17 days) he has to see you then. I KNOW we will both fit in there!

I have to wonder if this IS a complication for Nohr's surgery...or something else going on. Another screw up on Farries part is whats ringing in my ears.

I am pissed........I can't even type the words I am feeling right now. Even more pissed that these are OUR doctors.

Carrie, I'm so sorry you're getting the runaround. You are being so strong. Have yourself a good cry, sometimes that just makes you feel a little better.

Extremely bad words! Ugly, hurtful cusses! Wishing warts and boils on unspeakable body parts! (I'm at work, have to be careful!)

Now I'm pissed! There! They've made me say a bad word! This is ridiculous! Canada is not a Third World country, patient care has GOT to be better than this. Time to talk whatever your equivalent is of a malpractice lawyer/Licensing board/Better Business Bureau/ local news channel!!! There has to be SOMETHING OR SOMEONE who will listen!!!
========
Honest to God, now I'm getting ready to load up the minivan and drive up there! Who wants a ride? No passports needed yet if we go by land!

Carrie, you said that Dr. Nohr's office said there is no referral and you are wondering why you need a referral.........did you ask THEM THAT QUESTION? I would have been irate on that phone like........"Hold on a minute, damn it......I AM your patient"! Have you told Dr. Nohr's office how upset you are? Have you expressed to them that you want an appt. NOW! I'd be telling them to stuff their process.....I want an friggin' appt NOW and if they didn't like it to get Dr. Nohr on the phone or there would be repercussions because he is LEGALLY responsible for you since you are his patient and he has not fired you as a patient in a legal manner. There are laws against this, ya know? Carrie, honey, enough is enough! This has got to end.

i got very upset with Michelle at nohrs office today, i did ask why i needed a referral to my own surgeon, she says its cuz this is not a followup from GBS - however, this is, this can be from surgery, this may not be, but nohr needs to figure that out, cuz farries couldnt and farries is insisting i see nohr - another surgeon has scoped me as nohrs office refused to let me see nohr - how is that okay - like i said, i was mad, got angry, i dont think i was rude, just firm, but i did raise my voice and broke down in tears - i so dont like to do that and feel guilty that i got so mad at her - but by jeepers he is MY surgeon, i had to call farries office and tell them to fax a letter of records to nohr before she will give me an actual date - she said once i have the HIDA scan date she can give me a date for Nohr - so no actual date for Nohr

lisa, as much as i would love to share a bed with you (no toaster ovens please ) i WILL NOT be waiting that long to see him, like trina says, this has to stop now, this has gotten ridiculous - i am beginning to wonder if it is me, am i not communicating properly? do i come across too patient - well im sure Michelle at nohrs office doesnt think that now, i feel bad, i was kinda short with her

thank you again to all - i was really hoping to post a definite plan of action not some more run around crap

have a great long weekend, i promised the kids a weekend of camping, and so i must finish getting things ready and get on the road

michelle did say she would call me tuesday however, not sure why, but hey its another conversation that i get to express what i need so i will take it
