Thanks Stephany. The VA was pushing for me to do the defribulator a few years ago. I even travelled the 180mi ea way to cleveland for a consult. I get all the way up there and the idiot foriegn dr looked at an old test result. I couldnt get him on the right page. He even refused to call my cardio that refered me toget the correct info! All I got from him was that "hes the dr!". Ill tell you, the way some of the VA specialists treat us is just beyond shame. The are full of anger at having to fill the commitment to VA for their training and preks(citizenship, education, homes, ets) that they cant go out and hang their shingle quite yet that they can be intollerable. Thank God they arent the norm!
My PC wants to see me as soon as Im out. So mon my clinic will be open. I hope I can get right in and he might be able to fast track me a bit. Unfortunatly their hands are a bit tied due to red tape and procedure. Most of this is in the direction the were heading for me tho. my current dr knows my condition. Its unfortunate that there isnt much he can do and as such only sees me every 6+ mo when I need more hands on.
I wonder what they can do for me. If I can get a cysto done, what if they do find the cancer has returned? Without anetshetic a TURB isnt going to happen and I dont know if i have it in me to do it with a spinal. With my nerves and hospital fears Im afraid Ill need to be out.
Thanks for the reply.
