That warm fuzzy feeling from the hospital I’ve been dealing with…
10 years ago it was one of the best regional hospitals in the south east. My have times changed!
I was supposed to report for an out patient procedure at 0630 yesterday. I found the check in desk at 0600 (I’m always early). I was told to check in again at the imaging department at 0630.
At 0620 the department was still closed, lights off, big metal door over the entrance. A young lady came and sat down a few feet away from where I was waiting.
My dad was with me… I told him to go back up to the first desk for clarification since it didn’t look like the clinic was going to open at 0630. After he left the young lady told me the imaging department didn’t open until 0700. Her ride had to drop her off just after 6am.
I went back up to speak to the first desk. The young man got annoyed with me… Said “Go back down and check in at the imaging department” “They will get you to angio for your heart procedure”
BIG problem… I wasn’t there for a heart procedure. There is nothing currently wrong with my heart nor has there ever been! (knock on wood)
I went back down to see how screwed up the people in imaging were. Thankfully they knew what they were doing, got me checked in and moved to the correct procedure room.
There the nurse running my show asked me a series of questions…
She kept asking me about cancer. I do not have nor have I ever had cancer (knock on wood).
The nurse actually became indignant, she basically accused me of lying about not having had chemo recently!
First they thought I was there for a heart procedure, the nurse running my procedure was sure I had cancer recently…
Yes indeed, that warm fuzzy feeling you get knowing you are in the hands of quality medical professionals who know exactly what is going on!
