I have 4 kids and a husband and everyone is hungry at that time and I have to get dinner going. Anyway I could not help it so they made grilled chese sandwiches and soup for dinner. I call this afternoon at about 1:15 to see if my results are in from the x-ray. The woman takes my name and crap and says she will find out. So I wait....... until 4:30 I call back and another woman tells me "oh, your doctor isn't in today he will call you tomorrow" WHAT????? I tell her that's not good enough and I need another dr to look at the x-ray report and just tell me if my finger in broken. She tells me that she doesn't have the report from the lab yet. I get the number of the lab and ask them where my results are. She tells me that as per my dr office request they do NOT fax the info to the dr they mail it to them. I am in a bit of pain and I am not waiting for the mail to get to them before I get my results. I am so angry right now. The woman at the dr office said that when "she gets a minute" she will call over there to the lab and have them fax the info to them. I am still waiting.
I don't go the the doctor very often. My husband calls me 'Mary Marter" I just go on with my business of raising the kids,and so on with out complaining. I the mom you know we can't get sick or anything. We need to keep going or the house will blow up or something. I finally break down and go because it really hurts and this is what I get. I just want to cry right now. No one cares it's just a finger cut it out stop complaining.
Sorry for the rant. I just want to know if it is broken I know they won't do anything for it but I just would like to know. |

I know how you feel it took 6 years for a doctor told me why my finger hurt all the time .I even had one doctor want to cut if off yep not happen !! I went to 5 doctor before i got one that would help me one test and one day later i had surgery removed a tumer the size of a butterbeen pain free for 14 years now and i still have my finger ... I care i know how bad it hurts i hope it gets better soon and just remember doctors like money and some dont care at all
