The Continuing Saga

It keeps going and going and going.
As you know, I have been trying to get whatever is making my underarm (and arm and chest) taken care of, and as you know, it's been a pain in the rear. When I called to get an appointment with my Primary Care Physician (PCP) they told me I couldn't get in until April 25th. Ach. I told the woman that I am in a lot of pain. I'm taking narcotics to ease said pain. I am almost out of said narcotics. she compromised saying she would send a note to the doc's nurse and I would hear something in 24 hours. 20 hours later, I called back. This time I got a much more helpful woman who saw a cancellation and gave it to me.
I saw the doctor yesterday. She warned us that going through the HMO side instead of the PPO side would be a lot more red tape but stipulated that she was willing to be the "Medical Mafia" if needs be. Those were her words, "Medical Mafia!" Ty and I laughed at that one. She put in a referral to the surgical powers that be and ordered blood work.
I went to get my blood sucked today. I told the lab tech how impressed I was with her technique (I didn't feel a THING!!!) she replied that she'd had a lot of practice over the past few weeks. Oh yeah! They've been taking care of all the people who were possibly infected with Hepatitis-C and HIV from those skanky clinics y'all have heard about on the national news.
OH! The doctor also put in a referral so I can get a new therapist. Seeing as mine has been arrested for check fraud here in Vegas (trying to pass over $300,000.00 in bad checks at local casinos) and sexual misconduct with two patients in Oklahoma (he gave them Herpes and I don't mean cold sores.) Gotta love Las Vegas!!!
