Topic: Back from the VA

Dad went to see Dr. Lee today at the local VA clinic.  She said she had started getting things arranged for his cancer treatment.  She has been very good to Dad.  He really likes her. When she found out he had VA appointments for tomorrow she called around and had everything rescheduled for today so he didn’t have to make the trip back over there on Friday.

Dr. Lee also called the Pulmonary Specialist, Dr Gowani (to have the biopsy tested for asbestos). She couldn’t get through. She kept getting the run around on their telephone system and finally hung up.  She called the lab Pathologist directly to order the test.

One really stupid thing is the Pathologist has to send his report to the original doctor, Gowani, and can’t send it directly to Dr. Lee.  This means Gowani gets to charge for “reading” the report again.  CHA-CHING! What a racket!
