[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry OP. It’s maddening to wait, and no one in healthcare seems to have much of a sense of urgency.[/quote]

That a strange take. Do you think healthcare workers are just sitting around picking their nose? And make appointments months down the road just to make people suffer??[/quote]

I think it took me two full days to get the scheduler at Inova tl return my call so I could make an appointment for cancer surgery. It took me more than one day before that to get the diagnosing doctor’s office to send over the referral that the doctor told me she had sent over but hadn’t, and another full day to get the office to send me their list of recommended surgeons that they insisted was in my portal but was not. I would not be allowed to have that error rate at my job nor to take 2 days to return calls, and my job isn’t life and death.[/quote]

The scheduler can take a little while, because they have to coordinate with both the surgeon and the OR at the hospital. [/quote]
