Wow...like I said before, cant something just go the way it was planned ONCE for my mom??? She was supposed to have a CT scan this morning to see if there were any more spots that showed up on it since she had that one on her tongue. My mom is allergic to the contrast dye they use in the scans...so when they set this up, they SHOULD have told her to take benadryl 12 hours before the scan. They didnt. She goes in and they ask "did you take the benadryl??" My mom and dad say "What??" They go on to tell them that since she is allergic to the dye, she needs to have taken benadryl atleast 12 hrs before hand and now she cant have the CT scan done today becuase she didnt take it. Now she has to wait 24 MORE hours and have it done tomorrow.
I cant believe how frustrated I am at these doctors of hers. Cant they just be thorough and make sure they know this stuff ahead of time and not at the last minute? There is so much more I could say here... but just need to stop because its not my place to be talking about her stuff...but I wish she had a whole different group of doctors who were on top of things and communicated with eachother about her care..and would stop putting her on the back burner and making her wait a day here, a weekend there... all this nickel and diming of her time is adding up and they havent even started chemo yet. They'd be treating her a whole lot different if this were thier mom, wife, or any family member. I wish I could just yell at them, and get them to care. What a bunch of half assed doctors. They make her wait an extra week for an appt. because the guy wanted to fly to Germany and take a vacation with his girlfriend. Ok, fine- everyone's entitled to a vacation...but then make arrangements for my mom (or any patient you have) and who will be doing her appts while he's gone...other than his nurse. GRRRRRRrrrrrr
