[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny, I just returned from GW where I was scheduled to get an MRI to follow up on a mammogram and ultrasound.  GW told me that I needed an MRI for further diagnosis.  I ended up having to reschedule because they needed an order from my doctor, and the doctor's assistant sent in the wrong order. Nevermind that no one told me that I needed to get an order or that GW never provided the report to my doctor.  Paid the co-pay. So I have a few more weeks to wonder if I have cancer.  Great!

It was like being at the Mad Hatter's table.  And I have excellent insurance. [/quote]

I am going through the same ridiculous hoop jumping. Most recent is that I saw my PCP to get her to write the order for the MRI but she told me I have to get blood work done first to check kidney function. So I have to do the labs and then she’ll write the order, after which I finally can schedule the MRI. Meanwhile who knows what is happening with my actual health.  Now tell me one good reason why the doctor who found the lump on my mammo and ultrasound couldn’t have sent me down to the lab the very same day and written the order for the MRI a few days later when the results came back![/quote]
