So I said I would update after my appt.
Well I went to the hospital got my blood test done at 12 then went to Radiology and checked in with them. Sat in the waiting room for about 45 minutes and then went back up to the counter to let them know I'm still waiting.
There was a different lady then the one I checked in with and this lady said oh your appt is for Feb. 28...uhhh no!! So, she went and got one of the nurses and the nurse said she's right...your appt is for Feb. 28th. I'm like how is that possible if I'm supposed to get this test done within a certain time frame of my cycle.
Then the nurse told me she might be able to get me in today but then she counted on the calender and said I'm on cycle day 16 and said that the test has to be done between 7-10 days of my cycle.
Erg!! I was so upset. I told her that the front desk lady that I talked to when I called gave me the appt for this day. I called on the day I started my period and she supposedly counted and this is the day she came up with. I even told the lady on the phone that that is to far in to my cycle but she told me not to worry that it's 7-10 days from the day I end my period...well obviously not.
So, the nurse went and talked to the doctor and the doctor had me come back to the room and told me that they definitely can't do it today because it's to far in to my cycle and it could cause problems. He apologized and said he needs to have a talk with the front desks ladies so they understand the procedures better (you think!?)
He told me the front desk ladies makes these appt all the time and he's not sure how she would have messed this up.
I've been trying to get an appt with them for the past 3 months!! It's getting really frustrating and I'm thinking of just going off base.
I told them I'll probably be starting my period around the 15th of next month so they just booked my appt now but if I start later then I'll just have to call and reschedule for a few days later.
I'm not sure if I should wait or just see if I can get referred off base.
Sorry for the really long rant! I'm just getting really frustrated with our hospital. I was really ready to get this last test done but now I have to wait another month. :(
End rant =]
